fractal

A fractal is an extremely complex geometric form consisting of smaller copies of itself repeating across (theoretically) infinitely smaller scales, the whole a development of a disarmingly simple mathematical formula. When a fractal is fed into a computer that is also programmed to cycle the colours of the visual spectrum through the pattern, the result can be pleasantly trippy.

Wow, fractals on screen! Let's drop some acid and watch the grooviness!!!

Fraccent

The accent that all fraternal men pick up in some fashion when they rush their respective chapters. I know that we’ve all heard it, but it has a douchy right to it and there is a filler word every other word of the sentence
ie. dude, bro, bruh, dog

I swear I understood Chad until he rushed Beta, and now his fraccent is throwing me off.

fractal

An infinitely complex mathematical shape that most people find interesting but are utterly clueless as to how it is made.

I know how to make fractals and you don't.

Fratcation

Gathering of fraternity brothers to re-live the college experience in a new, exotic, unspoiled location.

The Island was quiet until the boys came down on their Fratcation and raised hell for 3 days straight.
