Section posts pictures of women for users to comment on, and I analyzed its more than 16,000 comments. To investigate, I turned to a website that claims to capture fraternity culture: Total Frat Move (TFM), which receives 8 million monthly visits, according to a site administrator. This makes you wonder just how fraternity men talk about women. Joining even when controlling for factors like prior history of assault and alcohol use. There are numerous allegations of sexism against fraternities,Īnd studies show men who join are far more likely to commit assault after In the gender-segregated world of college fraternities, sexist rhetoric isn’t exactly astonishing. Hope you enjoy these! Now go and watch “Community” (NBC, Thursdays 8 p.m… secretly this list knows TV’s where it’s at).Credit William Widmer for The New York Times But I wouldn’t mind if they weren’t so bad. Seriously, this obsession with slashers let loose in sorority homes seems kind of unhealthy. Well, they’re really the only ones besides “Sorority Row” fare (starring Audrina Patridge enough said). Runners-up (if you’re really in the mood for a real chick flick…like, with lots of chicks) “The House Bunny” and “Sydney White” are decent picks. This Reese Witherspoon rom-com is still plenty charming. It’s not the most inspired choice, I admit, but good sorority movies prove hard to come by. In the vein of “The Graduate,” this is by the far the most thoughtful and intelligent film here. This classic 1970 film stars Ryan O’Neal and Ali MacGraw as a wealthy Harvard student and a working classic music student, respectively, and follows their troubled romance. Still, this is cramping my credibility…must find critically acclaimed drama… While not consistently funny, this comedy about three buddies reliving their college years has its good moments, mostly thanks to Ferrell. If you like Will Ferrell and/or “Hangover” director Todd Phillips and their trademark humor, you’ll more or less enjoy this. Sort of like Stanford, but the valiant young protagonist didn’t have to die first. After getting rejected by every college he applies to, a high school senior creates a fake university of (but of course) likable misfits. ![]() I’m told this comedy starring the adorkably likable Justin Long and a more voluptuous Jonah Hill is actually pretty funny. This 1980s cult comedy has plenty of R-rated humor and sexual angst. But don’t let the pocket protectors fool you. Like “Animal House,” this one also involves a renegade fraternity.a more awesomely dorky one. Still considered the gold standard for college movies, the John Belushi vehicle about a misfit frat taking on the administration still resonates with those crazy college kids…go figure. For those of you rushing and those of you pre-assigning to Synergy alike, here are some films to keep your spirits high as girls wander the Farm at odd hours of the night and future fraternity men do whatever it is they do at 103-oops, I mean Kappa Sig. Allow me to wade through the Walmart clearance bins of crappy sorority horror movies and National Lampoon blah blah blahs to find you some Greek fare worth taking a look-see at. Why is it that so many movies about the fabled “Row” suck? Why does a movie like “National Lampoon’s Dorm Daze 2” exist? If I ruled the world…īut that’s not to say there aren’t some goodies. Well, actually, that should be “Dear Hollywood, make better movies, period,” but we’ll settle for baby steps. Dear Hollywood, make better college movies.
