University of Michigan OTR: Pike will make you shout

Pike will make you shout

With Kanye's performance at Crisler still uncertain, we are certain of one particular event coming to Ann Arbor. Otis Day and the Knights will be playing at Pike during welcome week in the fall. I'm sure this is to be kept a secret, but I don't really give a s***.

Yes, it will attract all freshman that walk down Washtenaw as Pike always does on welcome week. Usually only a few people waiting at the door can get in, and only if they're cute or willing to masturbate on their couch. It seems crazy that they are spending over $12,000 to bring some old black guys - that were once (?) cool - to U-M, especially since a lot of people aren't going to be able to enjoy it. I personally don't want to have to sit on a couch and tug my Johnson rod to get in.

When I first heard about this party, I thought it seemed pretty creative and interesting. But then I heard it's going to be ANOTHER toga party.

Consider having it outside, and out of toga.

Pike is like the filter for rushing freshman. They suck in all the giant douchebags who want to dance to a bunch of old ****s playing "Shout" during welcome week. Then, the freshman who aren't fad-following sheep go and rush real houses. Posted 04/20/2008 6:46 PMReply

haha. Just watched Animal House today, actually. I wish frats would have more live bands (besides the metal frat). DJs get kinda lame after a while Posted 04/20/2008 7:14 PMReply

pike? aepi? phi psi?...one of those three i think Posted 04/20/2008 7:24 PMReply

^^^I believe it's AEPi.

Pike wishes they fratted anywhere near as hard as the Delta House. Otis Day and The Nights aren't even the original "Shout" performers, this promises to be about as much fun as 9 dudes blowing 8. And yes, I realize the irony of making a gay joke on a Pike article. Posted 04/20/2008 8:38 PMReply

hate to break it to you brah...But you're not getting the point. Johnny Quest and Ahor "poke fun" at houses, and that is what makes them such effective writers. It's their suble, and perhaps even sarcastic humor that makes them fun to read.

You, on the other hand, sound a kid who didn't get a bid.

That makes you pathetic. Doesn't everyone get bids from pike? Posted 04/20/2008 8:56 PMReply

AEPi is the largest by about 15 guys. I believe they are at 175, Pike at 160, Phi Psi at 140. Posted 04/20/2008 10:38 PMReply

does the band have to get diamond earrings before pike will let them perform? Posted 04/20/2008 10:45 PMReply

no one cares about pike...they get worse every year and are just turning into one of the 5-10 or so mid tier houses who pride themselves on partying with axo, dg, and adpi like fiji, sigep, and dke, among others

if the guys in pike want to think they're the shit because they win greek week, etc, let them...i dont think anyone in the greek community, or campus for that matter will pay attention Posted 04/20/2008 11:39 PMReply

Even as someone who isn't too fond of the members of Pike, this post is not really in great taste. Your jokes also lack any creativity, I guess similar to your theory of Pike's party-planning ability. Open blogging will be the downfall of OTR. That and JQ graduating.

this only proves how lame the greek system here is; no one ever throws a band party (frat essential) and the first ones (atleast in a while) to actually do it are ****ing pike. weak Posted 04/21/2008 06:09 AMReply

I bet every post above is from SAE or BETA.
Funny, they have to use this media to hate on other houses. Posted 04/21/2008 12:22 PMReply

While we're on it, I'd like to know why everyone in SAE and Beta thinks that being "Southern FRAT" is cool. Even worse, frats like Sigep try to imitate them. Fraternities started on the East Coast while people down South still had slaves and couldn't read.

Dear South,

There's nothing cool about wearing a Mossy Oak ballcap, you look like rednecked ****s.

Signed,
Everyone Else

Nothing good ever came out of the South, and no one gives a shit about it. Please feel free to refer to us as East Coast Jews or Midwest Trash. What does it reflect on you that you chose to go to school in the region that you called trashy? You probably should have went to Southern Miss instead, at least you'd fit in wearing your gawdy/tacky/obnoxious Vineyard Vines/BrooksBrothers combo pastels. Posted 04/21/2008 12:52 PMReply

I bet you meant Ole Miss, but thanks for trying. Also VV is by and large tacky and mostly reserved for nuevo riche wannabes.

SAE was founded in the South, and was the only fraternity to survive the War of Northern Aggression in the South. Their heritage as a strong Southern fraternity is very strong nationwide. Beta is part of the Miami Triad so they're relatively Northern by foundation, so I don't understand where they're coming from. Posted 04/21/2008 1:59 PMReply

SAE is hardly southern fratty. Every time I see sae "fratting" around their mudbowl pit they are wearing flatbrim hats and oversized gym shorts.

The Southern Frat phase happened like 2 years ago/last year. No one really does it anymore except a couple people i see every now and then. Posted 04/21/2008 3:22 PMReply

Umm....SAE is the shit, VV is adorable, critter shorts are adorable. I don't care if it's southern or eastern, it's hot and SAE is by far the best house on campus. If you disagree you are clearly a GDI or a member of any one of the 25 or so houses that can't even come close to SAE Posted 04/21/2008 7:11 PMReply

Dear whoever thought he was witty in writing a letter addressed to the South,

Vineyard Vines is not from the South. It's the last thing from being Southern. Martha's Vineyard is in the Northern Atlantic, off the coast of Massachusetts. Good try, though.

Actually most frats, when started, were very anti semitic. This obviously excludes places like AEPi, but most frats started pre-1925 or so, yeah, no jew allowed. Posted 04/22/2008 08:21 AMReply

because you posted the southern proper link (probably one of the few clothing lines that hasn't been infiltrated by east coasters or gdis), some PIKE is gonna go on an all out spending spree and think he's sweet. vinyard vines sucks...it is not southern. the only house on campus that resembles a southern fraternity (at face value, at least) is some of phi psi (the ones who aren't east coast jews).

but we all go to a school nowhere near the mason dixon line, so everyone sucks Posted 04/22/2008 10:19 AMReply

southern dress, whether its "fratty" or not, just looks nice-brooks brothers, seersucker, sperry topsiders, etc. flatbrim hats and cargo shorts, which seem to be the staple of theta chi and pike, just look terrible Posted 04/24/2008 10:27 AMReply

FRAT is dressing how you want and not giving a sh*t.

SORORITY is dressing like everyone else because you think it makes you look cool.

Is AEPi really the largest? I thought it was Fiji by far. And the Triangle label is because pike has some dumbass grudge against them. I'm not gonna belittle the whole house because I only know a couple of their brothers, but the majority that I do know are the stereotypical brosef douches. A couple good guys in there though, just wish they wouldn't all earn the douche label for a couple of ****s. Posted 06/02/2008 8:30 PMReply
