Fratire

A genre of writing aimed specifically at the 18-35 male demographic. Often contains depictions of drunken escapades, hedonistic living, and irresponsible sexual adventures. Also conveys a mocking attitude toward social convention, traditional male roles and aspirations of power and authority.
Pioneered by internet writers such as Tucker Max, Robert Hamburger(author of Real Ultimate Power: The Official Ninja Book) and George Ouzounian(a.k.a. Maddox).
Fratire was first coined in a New York Times article written by reporter Warren St. John called "Dude, Here's my Book".

"Wow man, that time I consumed a gallon of cheap vodka and had unprotected sex with three transgendered hookers would go great in Fratire!"
"Wow, this book is rad. This "fratire" is something a drunken young collegiate lad like me can appreciate, having also a general disdain for society! Lawlz!"

Fratire

Fratire is the mode of dress traditionally accepted by fraternities, especially prevalent in the south. The definition of successful fratire is "conservative". This generally means solid colored polo shirts (never with popped collars), oxford style button downs, khakis or dock shorts, traditional blazers, dock shoes, driving mocs or loafers, and d-ring or club belts. This kind of clothing will generally ensure full frat potential, however bleached or gelled hair or any kind of jewelery will overpower even the frattiest of fratire and make you look like a douche. In addition, true fratire must come from fine brands such as those below:

Polo (the horse)
Brooks Brothers (golden fleece)
Cole Haan
Vineyard Vines (the whale)
Southern Proper
Sperry
Lacoste (don't overdo it on this one - the crocodile)
Costa del Mar
(this isn't a comprehensive list, just the basics)

Also, one should never wear all of one brand. It screams "trying too hard"

Things to avoid:

Abercrombie and Fitch
American Eagle
Gap
Aeropostale
Cargo shorts
puka shells
flip flops
non-Costa sunglasses
jean shorts (jorts)
anything trendy
anything your forefathers would cringe at

Brother 1: (wearing vineyard vines dock shorts, a Brooks Brother polo, sperry top-siders, costas with croakies and a Polo D-ring belt)
Brother 2: Nice fratire man, we better get these GDIs outta here before they see you or–
GDI: (head explodes)

frattire

The fashion or commonly worn drab of fraternity members. It is not uncommon to see pledges adopt the style very quickly in order to distinguish themselves from the local population and to seek acceptance from the membership.

Some common examples of traditional frattire are Vineyard Vines, Polo (sweaters, hats, shirts), Northface/Mountain Hardware jackets, Sperry shoes.

1.I heard Vineyard Vines is posting up some sick sales on their frattire!

2. Nice frattire! I haven't seen a Polo in that shade of blue, yet!

frattress

Young college female, often times a member of a sorority, who spends an excessive amount of time having sex with brothers of a fraternity.

the term derives from fraternity + mattress, because the slut spends so much time under brothers that she might as well be their bed.

"Bro, you see that frattress over there? Yeah, the one on top of the table. I'm gonna do work and put her to use tonight."

"So, I was banging this frattress the other night, and after we got done she told me not to tell any of my brothers. You know she's just gonna tell those other sorostitutes how awful of a guy I am."

fraticelli

an amazingly awesome person who will find a way to make your day, she can also be a scary person on her bad side so don't get on it. if you find a Fraticelli you should never loose her/him. they are very kind and are very loyal to the people they love and trust.

" wow Fraticelli is the nicest person that i have ever met"

fratress

A girl that hooks up with Frat Guys all the time. Like a mattress, she spends every night under a frat boy.

I was the first one to put a stain on that Fratress. --Nooch
