There are a lot of people in America today. That’s why each week, The Panda Page breaks down the anonymity of our great country with a new series called, A Field Guide to the People of America.

Last week, we met Hipsters. But this week, we examine Fraternities. More specifically, the Fraternity Brother species (Dateus Rapeus).

So let’s get to know them, shall we?

1. What They Look Like

The Fraternity Brother can be easily identified for their distinctive clothing style, the Popped Collar. Which consists of taking a pastel-colored American Eagle polo shirt, and flipping the collar upwards [pictured in Fig 1.1 below].

The popped collar acts as a sort of camouflage for the Fraternity Brother [see Fig 1.2]

The Fraternity Brother can also be spotted by his baseball cap being worn backwards, or awkwardly to the side [pictured in Fig 1.3]

Other common traits of the Fraternity Brother include wearing Live Strong bracelets, having gelled hair, wearing t-shirts with Greek lettering and slogans like “Go Ugly Early”, and having barbed-wire tattooes on their biceps.

2. Where To Find Them

Fraternity Brothers can be found at dollar draft nights at bars and in the run-down houses of college towns across America [illustrated in Fig 2.1].

3. Hobbies

When they’re not posting up their drunken “shaming” pictures or YouTubing Dane Cook clips, the Fraternity Brother can be found drinking light beer from kegs, and changing Beirut rules wherever they go [pictured in Fig 3.1]

Among other Fraternity Brother hobbies include having bizarre initiation rituals [pictured in Fig 3.2].

And date rape [see Fig 3.3]

5. Approaching Them in the Wild

Now that you’ve met the Fraternity Brothers, why not say “Hi” when you see one? But be warned when approaching them: if you’re not in the Fraternity Brother’s Greek chapter (and you’re not an attractive girl with loose morals), he won’t want to speak to you.

So make sure that you learn a secret handshake, or have at least 2 girls with you upon meeting him.

But most of all…
