As someone not from the US i've always see frats and sororities like a cultish group

[@MorningRose370]

As someone from the US, you're not wrong.

[@DareToBeDeviant]

They meant something a few hundred years ago. For about 4 decades they've been resulting in spreading STDs, experiencing alcohol poisoning, and individual probation status for consistently getting the lowest test scores on campus.

[@wesley939]

Every group is a cultists group by those standards

[@ericlondon2663]

Fraternities are pay-for-sh*tty-friends pyramid schemes. Sororities are the same BUT they need to service the boys at the frat so.....yeah, gross.

[@Mumwaldee]

They are just a bunch of rich hedonists who exclude the "wrong people" by having a cover price buy in for access.

[@Spencer-wc6ew]

Nothing did more to steer me away from fraternities than talking to people in fraternities. All I heard was complaining about how expensive it was and how they're treated like a slave for the first year. Yet the idea of _not_ being in a fraternity never occured to them.

[@sageoftruth]

Leaving isn't easy. They make you sacrifice so much for it, that it makes leaving very difficult. Time, money, effort. Not only would a member have to face the harshness of all that being a waste, but they'd also have to give up all the conditional friendships they made and learn to venture out into a world without a large group of people who will like them as long as they conform. It's a cult basically, and cult's aren't easy to leave. Leaving is a bit like leaving a village somewhere in the desert and hoping you'll find something out there before you starve. When making friends there is so easy, it makes finding a replacement social life outside of it seem so daunting.

I went to a college without Greek life but I visited my buddy’s campus and went to one frat party with him and some of the craziest shit I’ve ever seen happened there. People just fucking in communal spaces, a dude put cocaine under a passed out person’s nose as a prank, the amount of drugs in general was kind of unreal, somebody cut off part of their ear and the cops showed up twice and almost got into an altercation before shutting the place down and making everyone leave. Everyone there treated the frat brothers like rock stars and were just grateful to be there. I didn’t feel the need to go back after that.

[@InJeffable]

I'm glad the university I attended didn't have fraternities or sororities. It had various themed societies that were free to join and just for fun, but it was an institution of learning first and foremost. I did just fine without frat culture in my life. I made several friends the regular way and I never felt compelled to drink.

Well, they broke up and as if to demonstrate how messed up Greek life is, a different sorority member, who just happened to live in the same dorm as him, signed in a few other members, just so they could harass him in the courtyard.

I've always thought paying to be part of a social fraternity was kind of pointless. If you want friends, just join one of the many clubs on campus. It'll keep you away from alcohol and you may just learn a skill. I met plenty of friends through ski club or outdoor club, and we still hang out today.

One day a frat totally dropped off a guy who was not "bleeding" but was totally battered and had light wounds like he had blood on his face but it wasnt just running or dripping. They sent him in to get a pizza they never ordered then left him to walk back to the Greek house. And he insisted everything was okay when we offered him a ride. He hobbled however many miles that was. Cuz one of his legs was definitely hurt. He's probably farther along in life than me now tho so... lol

All fraternity organizations in my university campus were temporarily suspended and undergoing an investigation 🤣

[@worldsgreatestdude1784]

I would love to have some of them at mine have that occur

[@worldsgreatestdude1784]

What school

[@jes2276]

On my campus, a fraternity caused someone to pass away from alcohol poisoning. He was trying to impress them so he could join. He fell down the stairs, passed out, and they left him there. Be careful when choosing your friends. Im glad i never associated with fraternities.

[@c.phoenix3929]

I remember when arriving to college, I became part of a rush for one of the main universities on campus. I don’t regret not joining for a second. The people were nice (enough) but the whole vibe was cultish, the dues were RIDICULOUSLY expensive, and the only bit of “community service” we did was when we worked in a restaurant for 12 hours for just $50 (which was immediately funneled towards our due payments without us asking). I a part of a fraternity now, but unlike the first one, the dues were only around $40 yearly, we ACTUALLY did community service quite regularly, and overall was just really chill and pleasant.

I feel like Roger was in a frat back in his college days

[@phansternthephreake]

Nice shirt Roger. A little salute to Animal House, a classic comedy. Sadly I never went to college, so I didn't learn how to drink.

[@LittleMopeHead]

I never understood the whole Greek thing and frats, but I want that shirt!

[@matthiassventoest6800]

that dance by the sorority looked pretty dope… probably dancing to some trap music

[@leonardoalfonso7080]

Please do an Honest Ads on Roger. It would be very meta 😮

[@pa4o93ir49]

There wouldn’t be any content

[@Warriorcats64]

"Hi, I'm Roger and I'm from Honest Ads and...I'm not even Roger, he's just a character I play because some lazy writers decided Roger Horton sounded better than my actual name." [Roger] "Wait, what's your actual name?" [dude] "Ope, don't spoil everything for everyone sweetheart....anyway, we here at Honest Ads, or maybe Roger Explains...no? Okay Honest Ads? ok...well, we summarize random topics in the most snarky and cynical manner possible because we know that you, the viewer, thanks to your upbringing and...perhaps some psychology, equate cynicism and snark to being intelligent and honest, and your waning attention span doesn't give you time to hear and watch anything more nuanced." [Roger] "Yes we can." [chick] "Oooh look a 15 facts about Dentists. Number 8 will SHOCK you!" [dude] ~chick rolls eyes at dude~ "See? Anyway, because of this, nothing seems to work better for attention than slapping Honest in front of something and you will believe it! Which is weird because my brother John couldn't get anywhere with his car dealership." ~chick and dude look questioningly, Roger makes a verbal backspace~ "....oh, but I digress, don't I? Anyway, I say all these things not just in a snarky manner, but as if I had come up with them myself, when instead I'm just acting some lines some underpaid writer had to come up with, when I'm sure some of you could've done it for free. Meanwhile I get a fairly nice check and all I have to do is put on tacky clothes to fit the theme at no expense" "You mean you don't have wardrobe full of cool things?" [dude] "Well....maybe I do, maybe I don't. But these aren't mine. See, there you go again believing everything I say just because I said it in a snarky, cynical, or "down-to-earth" sort of way, or maybe your just doing what some professionals call, confirmation bias. Where you just look for any sort of thing you doubt about it and the first negative you see...boom...Honest!" [Roger] "Hey, I look up most of these facts after I watch an ad" [chick] "But do you? Really" [Roger] Ok, I'll stop there, because I'm not paid for this and I'm already bored, someone else can finish this, or not.

[@mikdan8813]

Roger you could just go all out at this point and do if war was honest

[@PJServo]

Suggestion: If Honest Videos were Honest, have it all go full-circle here.

Roger: “Damn glad to meet ya!! Animal House!!! ❤

[@grandmasterace4785]

Here was I thinking one Roger owned all these companies but I it's all owned by different Roger's who apparently went to the same college and joined the same fraternity.

[@extropiantranshuman]

I had a roommate who joined a sorority - didn't understand it. Never did - they kept waking us up at 4am for nothing. I still don't get it - a decade later. Now roger lets us know it's for sexism - by women - thank you for letting me avoid that one!

[@Sly88Frye]

Maybe it's because I was in a community college or junior college which is actually local my hometown so I didn't have to travel, but I don't recall there ever being a fraternity or sorority at the school. Then again I didn't actually go out of my way to socialize with everybody I saw or anything I was more focused on my studies.

[@Cole-ft4rr]

I have many friends from college that I still keep in touch with and I didn’t have to pay a single dollar for them!!!

[@LamborghiniDiabloSVPursuit]

The only people I've ever seen enjoy being in fraternities are the rich, or the kids who thought they were rich until their parents' pipeline dried out. Everyone else were the social awkward kids trying to make friends and got preyed on by frats, and are basically treated like second-rate mules.

[@TonyHammitt]

Unlike a lot of honest ads, I think most people already suspected a lot of these facts. They seem to look at whether your parents are wealthy and expect you to go to college to network and get business/political connections. Those would be the good recruits. Better than a lot of cults, I guess, targeting wealthy people is a different spin

[@Boutys_mom]

Good thing I took Greek in college as I was able to translate "Brother" Roger's t-shirt to English!

[@aussiebloke609]

That nickname...taint funny? Thank you, I'm here all week. 😁

[@qmoorman]

At 20, I cared a lot about this stuff. At 40, I'm glad I didn't get beaten to be apart of it.

[@personincognito3989]

* a part

[@wesside9722]

I’ve always seen these groups as organized gangs protected by an educational institution

[@Neimperec]

I'm with you brother Roger!

[@ryproar11]

I need that shirt. No really... I will actually pay for that one. EAT ME 😂

[@o_s-24]

It's more like SLT MS

[@Azhiru]

So glad I never joined one... or lived in the Dorms. Community college then lived off campus.

[@rf159a]

I don't know if it's still true but, there was a time you only got a job in the business world if you belonged to certain fraternities.

[@anonimanonim2710]

Shame we don't have these here!

[@ribclicker]

Hearing Horton say fuck was a surreal experience

[@cochazza]

After this honest commercial I see it even more clearly how fraternities and sororities are fundamental in the education of a young adult to become a fully functional adult in society (that is, one that acts as a mindless zombie at the disposal of this or that power group or in-group)

[@georgeh6856]

Anytime you have secretive, elitist organizations, you are almost asking for some kind of abuse. Fraternities and sororities, the Roman Catholic church et al., companies like Enron and Theranos. Sure, bad things happen in dorms too. But it is much more difficult to hide what goes on in dorms than in fraternities and sororities.

[@ScrakSFMs]

Plz make a "If condom companies were honest".

[@ryankornacki9918]

My dad was in a Fraternity in college, he says its why he flunked out and had to take night college for 8 years to get his degree.
