unto our host, to our fair fraternity Today is the 140th anniversary of the founding of the frat. Brotherhood, Scholarship and Character, and all that. Brotherhood? Unquestionably, and in vast abundance. Scholarship? In my case, that happened AFTER I stepped away. Character? Us? Yes. Afterwards? Not so much…

This did not happen
I did not see this car in Kalamazoo, driving near the old frat house. That’s one cracking motor! Brave owner parks his unique £1.6m Bugatti Veyron supercar made of PORCELAIN in Paris street | Mail Online. I did not shoot it with my puny p/s. Brenda Priddy was not there. She did not totally scoop me or this website with…
I Went to a Garden Party…
Mmmm winter. Time to party in the student ghetto. Pod knows of a cozy little bash. Ever the nonchalant one, he sidles up to all the pretty girls at school as if he’s known them forever. Phid, on the other hand, has more of an end game approach. He gets more, earlier; Pod’s are more loyal down the road. They…
Cereal City Blues
It’s Fall 1983. If you had bothered to attend class, this should have been the start of your junior year in college. Instead, it’s your first semester back: back in school (but it’s at a community college) back home, after a year of unspeakable horrors in the frat house. The BK Lounge is in the rear view mirror (hopefully permanently)…
That’s one

The one about that girl at Osco
In the spring of 1989, I sheepishly returned to the College of Arts and Sciences with hat in hand, begging for forgiveness for the nuclear wasteland of my first two semesters, and the subsequent years of minimum wage bullshit and the Meister Brau diet and living the Blutarsky lifestyle with the bare minimum amount of community college classes needed to…
Chapter Advisor FAIL – why are you people counting on me?
Maybe we should chug on over to namby-pamby land where maybe we can find some self confidence for you ya jackwagons - R. Lee Ermey My proud examples: Frank. Frank was an ordinary dude with a job at First of America. I thought he was entitled to god-status as the big dude of the chapter. He came through the drive through at…

TC: What did you do wrong? Crabs: I took your truck without asking. TC: What else? Crabs: I drove it to Ann Arbor TC: What else? Crabs: …while fucked up. TC: What else? Crabs: …and I took the keg TC: What else? Crabs: … and three frat brothers TC: What else? Crabs: …and we stole a sign. TC: OK, what…
Why yes, they’re real
OG Fred scores the first Tesla roadster of summer. The irony of a Lotus wholly reliant on its electrical systems – some jokes just write themselves
Animal House
I understood why the girls of “A Chi O” would not associate with us, just as I understood the privilege of the Alpha Phi’s deigning to appear at a joint party with us and the Fijis. Money. They had it, we didn’t. Class. They wished, we didn’t. But the girls of “Chi O”? Hanging with them was almost as impossible…
