Oh The People You’ll Meet: The Frat House Groupie

January 26, 2009 Posted in Reality

So, the thing about most of the annoying people on campus is that, most of the time, you can get away from them. Either you pass the class and move on, you simply ignore their sermons, or they generally exit your life just as quickly as they came.

By CC Staff

Not all of them, though. Some annoying campus dwellers will be there. Always. Forever. And never go away.

Who am I talking about? Why, the Frat House Groupie, of course!

Now, there are many girls who may seem to fall into this category that should not. These are:

1) Members of a sister sorority. It’s super common to see certain fraternities pairing up with certain sororities on campus; their bylaws/campus rules/international standards of fraternizing require that they have to make nice with the girlies and co-host events together. Whatev. Point is, if you’re hanging at the house one Friday night because they’re having an awesome 70s themed costume party and you see the typical group of sorority girls, those are the least of your worries.

2) Girlfriends or ex girlfriends of frat boys: These girls are expected to be there. After all, they aren’t just trolling the crowd looking for booty; this is their man’s house. Or their ex man. And they are still friends with all the boys. Read: they know people.

Now that we have that out of the way, let’s move into the girls you should be wary of. There are generally two types of Frat House Groupies:

1. The Slutty One: She is the first one at the party and the last one to leave. She’ll be dancing on a table wearing the shiny, super tight tube top that she doesn’t have the body for. On top of that, she’ll be wearing jeans or pants that are usually at least one size too small so that she looks like a stumbling, slurring Muffin Top. She also tends to wear heels that might be better suited for a scantily clad woman dancing around a pole in a dark corner of a strip club. She makes a habit of staying up half the night playing beer pong, but doesn’t bother to cover those dark circles under her eyes in the afternoon when she finally rolls out of bed. Those are her battle scars and she wants everyone to ask about her night. Her most annoying attribute is that she thinks she’s hot stuff and that every guy in the house would die to get with her, when in reality she couldn’t get into a photoshoot for STD awareness.

She’s hangs at the house constantly, trying to get laid, or establish her “place” there. She thrives on the idea of being part of the inner frat circle, when she is really just a (slutty) puppy dog following the brothers around. Or passing out on one of their dirty, beer-soaked couches.

2. The Guys’ Girl: The other groupie is the exact opposite. Her uniform includes way more conservative dress. She won’t dress like a slut, but she won’t dress like a lady either. She likes the t-shirt and jean approach because she feels like “one of the guys.” She likes baseball hats with winery names on them and watching football with the guys. She thinks she is much more mature than the other girls around the house and has a much better relationship with her “boys.” She likes to talk about being able to hold her own, whether it’s in arguments with the men or drinking them under the table (never actually seen that one happen).

This is the girl that wants to be uber important to the fraternity and all of its members and thinks herself a brother even though she lacks (among other things) a penis. The guys’ girl tells everyone that she would never date a frat boy, but secretly wants nothing more. The whole “I’m one of the guys” front is just that: a front. At her core, she wants the same thing as every other girl trolling the frat house hallways. She just doesn’t want to be seen that way.

Whichever category she falls into, the Frat House Groupie is a staple at frat parties nationwide. If you find yourself at a Golf Pros and Tennis Hoes party, or just a random Tiki Tuesday, you will run into her. Every. single. time. There is no cure for the Frat House Groupie; just avoid, avoid, avoid.

I want to disagree a bit if I may:

I consider myself to be "anti-greek", if you will. I also can't STAND most girls, so I am always hanging out with guys. This led me to one specific frat of down-to-earth dudes.

I guess at one point I was the epitome of what you call the "guys girl", however, not only did I really NOT want to date any of the guys, this was not a "front" as you call it.

Some girls are just tomboys, sorry, and I personally cannot STAND all the drama and stupidity that seems to go hand-in-hand with being a girl.

I love and agree with most of the articles on CC, but really! Just because I genuinely like football and don't show up at parties with a stupid hair pouf, heels, and some skanky forever21 dress on, this does not make ME fake or annoying. It makes you a judgmental person who is sexist towards your own gender.

(p.s. forry forever21…I do love you.)

i agree with molly. Just because i hang out with mostly guys doesn't mean i'm a frat slut. I lived with 3 guys four a year and we hung out ALL the time. I didn't want to sleep with them, they did not want to sleep with me, and we really were just friends.

And i could drink one of them under the table. Not all, but one

I laughed when I saw this article. It reminded me of this group of girls in my class. I go to a really small pharmacy college, so we have about 6 frats/sororities. The group of girls I'm referring to go to EVERY SINGLE Phi Dex event, no matter what it could be. They always travel in a group. They're slutty, dumb, and bitchy. They spend so much time with Phi Dex guys so that they can be "Phi Dex Little Sisters." So annoying. The worst part about that is since Phi Dex is associated with the sorority I want to pledge next fall, this means the girls will also be pledging with me. Shoot me, please?

I kinda agree with Molly and Emily. I'm not a tomboy (anymore, not since I was 11) and I don't think I'm better then the other girls my friends hang out with, but all my guy friends from home joined one frat together and we've all been best friends for forever so I was always at their place, cause yeah, they are my best friends, and I hate girl drama!

The funniest part of this article is – some of these Frat Sluts actually don't even go to College… High school. Frat. Groupies. Believe me, you've seen them.

I have a question. Would it be odd if guys (in or beyond college; of course) not from the Frat, were at some of their parties? Or do they have to be invited or something?

Also, I don't think the author was only talking about the girls that actually, entirely act out the part. So, if it doesn't include you, then you shouldn't be offended by it. In contrast, I think the author just wanted to advise & warn those to whom do not apply to the profile.

Now that I think about it, if you were offended, then maybe, deep inside you sub-conscious, she WAS actually talking about you.

this made me laugh so hard. my boyfriends frat has the big parties on campus and there are these girls that follow the boys around and dress all slutty at all the parties and act like the frat house is theirs..and as soon as those girls walk away all the frat brothers make fun of them and talk about how they are all stars or wanna be all stars, girls who've had sex with more than 5 brothers.

In all fairness girls, there are greek groupies at every campus and while some of you may come close to falling into one or both those catagories the CC Staff posted you all that come to our parties, drink our beer and JJ, and make your rounds amongst the brothers in the hay but wont join a greek house yourself. That does make you a greek groupie and frankly its kinda sad. There are better ways to get into our circle. Thats by actually becoming an Alpha Xi, Alpha Chi, D-Z, Tri Sig, or K-D. Thats how you get the respect you want from the brothers not the way you're goin about it. I can honostly say from a Pikes point of view, we listen to and give more respect to genuine bonafied Female Greeks more closely then we do the wanna bes or aka "Greek Groupies"

Mr. Matthews, no it wouldnt be odd, quite honostly the dudes that come to the parties we do actually seriously look at for bid potential the following semester if rush week has passed. When I was a Freshman I didnt know wth Greek houses were all about so I started goin to all the parties, talking to the brothers and actually got a good feel for the houses and which ones I liked best. Then the following semester when it was rush time again, I talked with the guys from the house I liked best and I felt was best for me and where I felt most at home. Soon as I walked thru the door the Chapter Advisor, President, Rush Chair met me at the door with bid in hand and instantly extended it to me because they liked how I took my time, and looked at each house closesly before just jumping in with both feet. So I encourage every one to do the same as I did because I dont regret for 1 second accepting that bid and becoming a PiKe
