Mmmm... kau pi.

I've never been a big fan of fraternities and sororities, other than the truly academic or international organizations that don't focus on drunken social activities. Yeah, I know the Greek organizations always claim to be doing some good in society, but I recently had to sit on a bus that was chauffeuring sorority girls and their dates to some bar downtown, and my initial impressions from my own college years were solidly confirmed.

But I love this. A group of students in the late '70s formed a mock fraternity called Eta Kau Pi. One of the founders was actually Dr. Jess Hickerson, a prominent OB/GYN doctor in town, and his son is part of the group that has resurrected the Un-Frat.

My brother once formed a mock fraternity as well (I Phelta Thi), so maybe I'm just partial to this sort of satirical silliness.

  • My school had an anti-frat, but doesn't that defeat the purpose of a frat altogether... the act of joining one?
