You know they have to keep all the trailer Parker activities hidden… they just want to talk about the hood

Wonder how their heads are feeling this morning?

What is Oxford’s fascination with throwing beer all over themselves at sporting events? It started a few years ago with their make believe baseball “tradition” and now all over their beloved oak trees during football season. All this upper class talk to smell like fermented grains all day.

A beer soaked frat TeaSip keeps flies off the coeds?

Back in the day, if any pledges acted like that in public there would be serious consequences from the actives.

What an embarrassment.

lol—11:25, I seriously doubt that. And most of those guys don’t look like pledges.

Old times there are not forgotten by the overfed rich fraternity boys.

Sorry but all I see is young men being actual men. Y’all are so soft.

All you commenters grow up. Just good ol' drunken college fun.

Yes, this ritual behavior is completely ridiculous. But, believe it or not - many of these boys become men through their affiliation with those greek organizations that function as surrogate families with freedom from authority during the young adult reach for independence. When too much alcohol leads to injuries, of course it's preventable, and regrettable.

What's truly ridiculous however, is that many of these young men will perpetuate the cult of arrogance that permeates Oxford. Many women see right through it (after getting used/hurt) and run the opposite direction. Others run towards the douchebags because of their daddy's money, etc. - then get used/hurt, and run away later.

Compared to "back in the day".....this was mild soy boi.

That 98 percent acceptance rate…….

11:25, I’m unaware of any fraternities when I was in one in the late 70s that would punish that behavior. Just drunk boys being drunk boys - the headache and muddy ripped blazer would have been their punishment the next day.

Gotta love it when a Dawg like 12:52 tries to psychoanalyze UM students. I’m guessing during rush 12:52 was stuck in the parlor with Sidney, Jugdish, Mohammed, and Clayton.

12:52 may not see the risk of frat alcohol, but I know it. My son had to quit college and spend months in rehab. Yes he took responsibility for bad decisions but the enabling was thickly pervasive in that frat atmosphere. He has been sober ten+ years but I resent his ever being in a frat.

11:39/12:52(2): I was actually a fraternity pledge, and then an active, at Ole Miss “back in the day.”

So I actually have an idea what I’m talking about.

Can you say the same?

Anyone who uses the term “soy boi” was never in a fraternity, and has probably never touched a girl.

@ " believe it or not - many of these boys become men through their affiliation with those greek organizations that function as surrogate families with freedom from authority during the young adult reach for independence."

Nope. Don't believe it.

1:27, Let me guess. You went to college in Starkville.

Nope, 5:15, just a little north of Starkville.

Reading these comments leads me to one simple conclusion. “You’re all worthless and weak! Now drop and give me twenty.”

Hell yeah boys!!!!!! I, for one, have hope for this generation of young men! HYDR!

Starkville college low T goofs and the massive butthurt is telling. It’s ok, little buddies, this is actually a good thing and should be encouraged.

Wtf is soyboi

Good to see the future top tier MS men engaging in this behavior. The left isn’t going to like this batch of future leaders. Beautiful. Hey guys, the future looks damn bright!

I would expect this type of behavior from MSU fraternities but not so much at Ole Miss. I seriously regret being in a fraternity. I have had 4 fraternity brothers that drank themselves to death and that’s just ones I know about. I am sure there are others.

Future Mississippi lawyers and politicians learning how to screw over the good taxpaying people of Mississippi. Same at MS State and JSU.

Nobody who uses the word frat was in a fraternity. That said kids these days are different than 1980s and 1990s. They don’t drink and they seem to all be fitness models. Maybe if they would congregate some and dance a little maybe they’d feel better about life? I don’t know. I had a good time and made good friends to this day.

A couple of points: 1. Drunken college guys doing things that pretty well represent what drunk kids do, i.e, stupid and silly shit, is not new or news. 2. I was in a fraternity and some drank to excess, a small number didn't drink much if at all, and most drank about like average kids of the same age, college or not. Today, most are a pretty typical example of a cohort of young men, again college or not. Some did well, most did OK, and some flamed out in various ways and to various degrees (pardon the pun). My wife, who was in a sorority, has the same general view.

There's a reason for the above: college kids, Greeks or otherwise, as a large cohort of society as a whole are a cross-section of society, so it is not new or news that they more or less mirror society as whole. Would we as parents encourage our kids, boys and girls, to join fraternities or sororities? Yes, we would and did. They turned out fine and are glad for the experiences and ties, as are we. Is it right for every kid? Nope. Are there problems? Yep. Such is life.

I've had stomach cramps that I enjoyed more than I would enjoy that.

It’s easy to blame fraternities (I was in one, they’re not “frats”) for excessive drinking, but when you put 18-year old boys in a situation with other 18-year old boys, and no parental supervision for the first time in their lives, some will find some shit to get into. The independents in my dorm at Ole Miss were the wildest hooligans on campus, and many were into hard drugs, which was very much frowned on in most fraternities. Not being a formally organized group, however, the collective misbehavior of the boys in my dorm would never be as easy and convenient to be scrutinized or condemned by others as a fraternity would.

You should have seen what happened to a frat brother who got engaged to a sorority girl. Where are those videos?

Imagine getting butt hurt over someone calling a fraternity a frat.

Not Oxford , thought they were so perfect !!

Over dressed drunks in Oxford. Something new here ?

I'm sure all of the critics never heard of The Dutch Bar here in Jackson. None of you know which MS GOP leaders were in fraternities, and which were in the White Citizens Council. Grow up people. Indeed, too few parents knew then or know now what their sweet Janes and Johnnies do when they are at their own parties! Pots calling out the Kettles!

I doubt these guys care what lonely old men have to say about them.

9:12, The White Citizens Council was a shameful response to Brown v. Board of Education in 1955.

But by citing them you seem to completely disregard the last 50 years of progress.

I got $20 that The University Grays of old would whip the pants off these UM students of today
