The Spirit Shirt

July 11, 2009 | 2 Comments

A fairly unknown but most awesome tradition during gameday tailgates is the Spirit Shirt.  The Spirit Shirt tradition involves buying everyone’s favorite freshman a ridiculous Hawiian shirt with your team’s logos on it.  At the tailgate the pledge already looks out of place because he is not dressed traditionally like everyone else.  The point of [...]

AC/DC is the tits

July 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment

This great performance of Shoot to Thrill pretty much illustrates the awesomeness that is AC/DC.  If one of their songs doesn’t play at a party you are at, you aren’t raging hard enough.  Just watch Angus shred his guitar and your face will melt off in an awesome wave.  His shorts are short enough to [...]

Spuds Mackenzie the Frat Monster

July 1, 2009 | 1 Comment

Spuds Mackenzie is absurd. As the poster dog for Bud Light in the 80s, he gave a new meaning to the phrase “party animal”. Spuds was rad enough to get Mothers Against Drunk Driving to start a campaign against Anheuser-Busch for marketing to children. Click here to see a short history about Spuds on wikipedia. Spuds raged harder than Clemson Sigma Chi ever will.
