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.

0:20 'balanced brain chemistry' - roger's back!! lol He knows how to deplete brain chemistry faster than you can say "I lost a dollar bill"

[@edgarlarios4718]

I still greatly appreciate the funeral services one. You've saved me an incredible amount of money Roger and team. Thank you!

[@Hrafnskald]

Love the stealth Greek Pun: his shirt says "SLT ES" in Greek letters :D

[@simeonellinger2064]

I don't get it

[@Keznen]

@simeonellinger2064 It says "SLT MS", which sounds kinda like "slut mess"?

[@animn7386]

Real funny episode as usual; loved the shirt😂

[@jamisongunsaulies]

“With the invention of beer pong now it can!!!!” 😂😂😂

[@nessesseda]

I was in a German fraternity and let me tell you one thing: The US ones are like easy mode compared to ours. If you want fencing with sharp blades, commiting burglary as a weekly activity and play cat and mouse with the state authorities, join a German fraternity. There's also binge drinking and partying and all that stuff as well.

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

[@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.

[@ultralaggerREV1]

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

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@LittleMopeHead]

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

[@mikdan8813]

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

[@aussiebloke609]

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

[@leonardoalfonso7080]

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

[@premiumaccount4166]

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.

[@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!

[@matthiassventoest6800]

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

[@PJServo]

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

[@wesside9722]

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

[@Azhiru]

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

[@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)

[@TundeEszlari]

I love your videos.

[@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.

[@chaseroush6503]

If you join the military, you get the same experience, but you get paid.

[@ScrakSFMs]

Plz make a "If condom companies were honest".

[@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

[@Neimperec]

I'm with you brother Roger!

[@dairdb]

As a person who was in a fraternity, they are completely right. And i lived every minute of it

[@wyattangle]

Finally! A video my avatar pic lines up with! And yeah, it's one of the ones with an iffy history. 🎉

[@Boutys_mom]

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

[@murder.simulator]

Love that shirt!

[@annieseaside]

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

[@allanvanuga9196]

Great video.

[@jaydavis9717]

I’m usually not this early for these videos
