Hell yeah!!!!!!! I'm the fastest beer bonging bro from this side of the Manatee River. J/K
I've got nothing against frat boys except they use to tie me to the flagpole in PE and beat me with hacky sacks and birkenstocks until my hairy legged hippy girlfriend beat their asses to a pulp with their own frat paddles. ;D ;D ;D
I can't even hold a straight face anymore.
Everyone is equal and we will all have fun together no matter what your in to. Be one with the music and all will be fine.
kayak, i hope you and other fraternity members represent your fraternity nation well at Bonnaroo.
Which means no chanting a stupid school or frat slogan, beer bongs in somebody elses camp, and most important, NO FIGHTING even if somebody impugns your character or a brothers character accidentally or on purpose. Keep your testosterone to a minimum.
I saw alot of frats and sororities representing themselves last year as a beneficial part of the jam band community. I'm sure there will be no difficulties or mishaps this year. I'm more worried about the cicadas with sharpie on their backs starting fights than frat boys. ;D

In college I always had a deep respect for what fraternities could accomplish.
To wit, they were large, organized groups that could raise significant amounts of up-front capital to throw ragin' parties. Want to rent out a whole bar, and serve enough virtually unlimited swill to waste 75% of the enrolled students at the school? That usually takes some greeks.
Need last year's Physiology II mid-term to study from? A frat can get you that.
Likewise, they could do a couple weekend's worth of 'community service' then wrap themselves in that 'campus community' crap and gain a certain respect and legitimacy from the administration that allowed them to get away with some of their flagrant offenses against the laws of God and man. Say what you will, but you have to respect groups that can work within the system like that.
This year I'll be going with my brother-in-law, who's a Sig Ep...and a huge Dave Matthews fan...and a pretty cool guy.
President of Beta Theta Pi (@ Vanderbilt) here; but that was over twenty years ago. Have traded greek jersey for lime green slacks, madras blazer; singing songs to clenched jaw cocktail party chit-chat; chugging beer for swilling martoonis; bong now used as plexiglas vase for calla lillies (don't tell Lovey). Will be the last one up friday and saturday, and one of the heartier partiers.
President of Beta Theta Pi, Delta Pi chapter (University of Louisville) 91-92 here.
I was definitely the freak at my chapter (although more in the Dead's Pigpen sense - long hair, kinda red - not racist but rural).
Wore a full Leprachaun outfit to our biggest party (Spring Break Warmup) when it fell on St. Patty's day. Eyes as wide as saucers too...
Jammed the entire Echoes suite by Pink Ployd on Daytona Beach while frightened onlookers walked WELL out of their way around our spot, as we giggled uncontrolably...
Probably turned on half the chapter personally. Heh-heh.
Not all of us were meatheads/arseholes (or even most). Any large group attracts it's share of undesireables - Bonnaroo too.
I'm a golden rule type of guy. I'll fly the Gadson flag at the 'Roo - "Don't tread on me" like the last two years.

as long as the dave matthews beer chugging alpha betta epsi thugs dont ruin mine or anybody elses time, and they come away from this festival with a new understanding of our scene and who this community is.. then i have nothin but love and respect for all my brothers and sisters..
Organized religion destroys who we are by inhibiting our actions... by inhibiting our decisions, out of... out of fear of some... some intangible parent figure who... who shakes a finger at us from thousands of years ago and says... and says, "Do it - Do it and I'll fu(kin' spank you."

LOL.. Frat boys, i love how people are so stereotypical, you all say peace love ect ect... your no better than any other "group", judging people like that is weak I think. I was a Pike and had some of the best times of my life there with all those guys. Summer 95 half of our chapter was on Dead tour, I still run into alot of them at shows (8 years later).

Our scene and community.. what>?! That is the most rediculous remark I have ever heard.. what makes it your scene, or my scene or anyones scene!! Please answer that one!
