The Penn State chapter of the frat that Riot, Fluffy, and myself were in has been officially suspended. You maybe read about them yesterday in the news as the frat that posted some shit on Facebook and got the popo called on them.

Unfortunately the chapter that I was in was not nearly cool enough to get the whole attractive ladies and drug deals part of frat life going. Instead we drank shitty beer and talked about our feelings in the woods.

Why didn't you just join a different fraternity at IU? There were a lot of options for a more brotastic fraternity experience.

I'm a bro but I'm not an asshole. All the other frats were assholes that I wouldn't have gotten alone with.

Pretty much my only concerns in 2004 / 2005 were DDR and surviving college and KDR was the only organization that attempted to accept the fact that I played a gay dancing game for children so it seemed like a natural fit. Paying for friends was the best decision I ever made and I was able to do well enough in college to graduate into the fledgling moments of the financial crisis with a bullshit degree and no job prospects.

Now I make $50,400 a year. Thanks KDR!

The reality is that we are in a different time and age to where greek life is more in decline, especially in smaller colleges like the one I attended. The actions that we are seeing from some of these organizations though are a clear failure to understand how social networking works along with a lack of good taste in my mind.

Also, here's a highlight of the day: Having an underground explosion happen a few blocks away from where I work this morning!

I'm sorry to have to do this but I need to speak my mind. I've heard a lot of back and forth arguments on the issue, and I think it's important that we look act the facts instead of regurgitating talking points. The left is going on and on about one thing, and the right keeps trying to invalidate their claims. The fact of the matter is Indiana State Bill 100 is a smart move, and empowers the city to do what's right. If you're so offended, let me suggest actually reading the bill before jumping on Facebook and professing your hatred for Indiana's political officers.

If you don't like it, move to a state where political subdivisions can take an action that constitutes a violation of any state or federal statute or local ordinance.

that would be such a good troll if you could hack a news site and just subtly shrink the face on the banner a tiny bit each week so nobody notices until it's like 20% as big as it was to start with

When I was a small child I thought the word "Bigot" was another word for fat people.

Oddly enough as an adult I find that that is still an appropriate definition of the word.
