fraternity

From a scientific stand point, the mentality of frat is extraordinarily close to that of a street gang as they both have various symbols and signs that you find engraved into bathroom walls and desks. They believe that strength comes in numbers and the individual is powerless by themselves. If understood by its definition, then a fraternity is a group of individuals who’s self esteem comes only from the amount of friends they can initiate into their frat. There is the social experiment of placing a member of a prestigious fraternity into a setting of those who are not part of the frat lifestyle and after a small amount of time, that individual conforms to the interests and beliefs of that group. Thus the strength of their fraternity is disproved. This is exactly the reason fraternities do not allow those of low income levels to enter their social groups. From an evolutionary stand point, diversity is beneficial in all forms. Thus a fraternity who lacks unconditional acceptance is flawed in its abilities.

fraternity

A social group made up of men that actually do a lot of community service and gain a lot of connections for life. While some are expensive, you can talk to them to see if they can create a payment plan for you. These are often confused with unrecognized gangs that call themselves fraternities. Real fraternities don't rape women.

The Alpha Kappa Lambda Fraternity colony at SUNY Oneonta has raised money for Opportunities for Otsego (OFO).

flatter myself

1.) when someone gives you a compliment and you have no idea how to react. when this happens close your eyes and laugh out loud to yourself enjoying the moment.

2.) when you tell a joke that no one else found to be funny, or no one else heard at all and you proceed to laugh to yourself.

3.) A smugness

Sebastian: "damn Randy that sure is a nice beard you got going there."

Randy (inner monolouge): "I never really thought it looked that good, but alright ill flatter myself...haha, hahah, hahahahaha!

I'm flattered

Something a girl says to a guy when he tells her that he has feelings for her. She will say it if she is to kind to admit that she would never feel the same in a million years.

Boy: "Susan I think you are amazing! A have had feelings for you for a long time now."

Girl: "Well I'm flattered, but I think we are better as friends."

Northern Fraternity

Contrary to the biased views on the Northern Fraternity that the geographically lower Fraternities of America have created, Northern Fraternites are known everywhere for their hospitality, respect towards women, and culture. Northern Fraternities were the first to be founded, and first to quicken the ethical code of our nation. A Northern fraternity man will be the first to display these characteristics. Southern Fraternities may claim to be cultured gentlemen when in reality many of them hold the same ideals embraced by most Southern citizens of the early 1860's, which directly inhibits the diffusion of American culture on many levels. Many are quick to forget that 90% of the clothing styles worn by Southern fraternities were all procreated in the North, and designed for Northern culture and tradition. Any use of derogatory Fraternal slang is the primary way to identify a true fraternity man from the any sub-par organization.

A Northern Fraternity will follow a fraternal code, and express the class that Southern Fraternities claim they have.
