So this is like my second post but ive been reading this thread for over a year and almost like everyday. I have been to bonnaroo for the past 3 years and i am a frat guy. I dress it and i have a good time, but i know how to handle myself as well as the 3 other brothers i had with me. It kinda makes me mad that people are blaming frat boys for the bad roo. How bout the damn metallica metal head sketch balls? wtf? they were some real assholes... What about the kanye fans? (No racism intended please dont take that the wrong way) but there were some sketchy people walking around of all types. But in "fratboys" defense i didnt play a damn game of beer pong. I smoked, i drank, i had a great time listening to music and i dont and didnt judge how anyone else acted or dressed. I didnt act like how everybody was saying that "fratboys" were acting. So please dont judge on that because i am one of those guys myself and i just wanted you guys to know that not all frat boys are just drunk assholes and alot are just like you and me. Sorry for the rant but its all i have read about since ive gotten on this since getting home.

I'm in a fraternity and have been to every bonnaroo, usually with at least one of my brothers. None of us have ever caused any problems for anyone. Some people just have to bitch about one thing or another when nothing is wrong.

You must have missed all my Kanye posts ;D
But you are right. I saw plenty of frat boys being well behaved. Might have even been you. Also saw a lot of metal heads being cool. Unfortunately it only takes a few to fuck it up.

the only reason frat boys piss me off at Bonnaroo is because why do you have to bring greek to Bonnaroo? It's not like I don't see enough of it everyday on campus but why does it matter if your Greek? YOUR AT BONNAROO! Theres no reason to wear your letters because no one cares.
I have no problem with frat boys, I just have a huge problem with drunken assholes who walk all over my friends and step into our food during Jack Johnson because they're SO DAMN EXCITED about getting a Budweiser wristband.

coanbread, bad karma for you, buddy. We wear letters so that brothers from other schools will recognize us when they see us. Contrary to your narrow view, people do care. I'll even go out of my way to talk to other greeks if I have friends in their fraternity, to see if we have any common friends.

hey man you can throw me all of the negative karma you want. I understand why you wear your letters.....i just think its dumb. I don't understand why you have to 'rep' your group at all times. I went with a Greek friend in 07 and he didn't wear his letters because he knew he would be out their partying and didn't want to give his crew a bad name.....also he said he could get in trouble for it. I don't know about you but I have about 80,000 brothers there all weekend and we don't have to go out of our way to enjoy each others company.

We "rep" our group because we're proud to. Wearing our letters is a privelige that we've all put a lot of work into earning. I don't worry about giving my brotherhood a bad name when I'm partying because I'm not prone to doing stupid things while I do. You've obviously chosen to walk the path of ignorance and are comfortable feeling superior to something you won't make an effort to understand. How can you call all 80k people at roo your brothers when you are so quick to judge someone by the design on their t-shirt?

Just because the clothes you wear don't have letters on them doesn't mean they don't represent anything.
Every year after Roo you hear the same thing.... Frat guys are ruining Roo, the Tool heads are ruining Roo and on and on. There are @ssholes in all walks of life from all groups. Lockage.....
