Hugs are nice. I'll take it. But Rad, Goose, Mal and their 25000 posts are still on the shit list.

Everyone else, if you went to a crappy northern undergrad or some place where fraternity brothers wore cargo shorts and played Yugioh, I don't expect you to think that it would give me a boost. However, at any decent college below the mason Dixon, it gives me a boost. I just asked because I wanted to know whether it would give me a boost specifically in the law school application field.

Also, if you call your fraternity a "frat" your probably one of those cargo bros I was talking about. Don't be a jabroni.



AND Please let's talk calmly? Y'all are flippin out on these message boards.
I think adcomms are more likely to have backgrounds like "went to a crappy northern undergrad or some place where fraternity brothers wore cargo shorts" than be like nucky. Check out these bios: https://blogs.law.harvard.edu/admission ... view-team/
Bates College, Hamilton College, and a Studio Arts major. I would bet that most places would be the same. I can't imagine it would be particularly significant one way or though, just that I doubt you're going to get many people in these environments who think it's super cool. That being said, if it's important to you, put it.




Dude. I'm applying to UVA...
Dude. Just put it then. It doesn't matter.

(Hopefully you're applying to other schools too..)

lol, who cares? If you don't have anything better to put on your resume, I'd say go for it. If you do, then leave it off and put something else. Either way, it's unlikely to make a difference.

Along with the animal house-type bros, you and your fellow sweater vest bros make me embarrassed to acknowledge fraternity membership. Those in the former think they are better than other people because they drink a lot and break shit. Those, like you, in the latter think they are better because they wear croakies and boat shoes (and shorts without cargo pockets).

sorry brah, but if you're defined by the clothes you wear and the location of your college, then you're likely too insecure to be a true alpha. once you're forced from your fraternity bubble, no longer benefiting from the social protections afforded by it, you'll realize how much of a beta you truly are. don't inflate the importance of your frat membership.

Wow, you're more full of shit than the before mentioned folks. Sweater-vest?! wtf?! Lmao.

Without addressing all of your nonsense I have to address the following, "if clothes define who you are," line. Please walk into your interviews in boxers and a tank top and repeat that nonsense.

Wearing cargo shorts doesn't make you a bad person. It's just not something you should wear. Kind of like bolo ties, save Phillip Rivers. Or wide lapels
On your suit, etc.

But hey, keep doing you buddy. Sorry fraternities, in your eyes at least, teach their members to dress properly.

It's not a frat joke, it's from Team America, but at least Goose somewhat gets it.

You participated in an internet fight over something relatively meaningless to LS admissions and largely unhelpful to the OP, so yes :lol:

You're conflating a few issues here, unnecessarily. I know that the clothing I wear will affect the way others perceive me e.g. interviewers will perceive me differently if I wear boxers vs. if i wear a suit. However, just because other people may perceive me differently because of the clothing I wear does not mean that I must define myself by the clothing I wear.

I will wear a suit to an interview and I will wear it well and I will impress the interviewer. However, I do not comment on the clothing I wear. I do not comment on or judge according to the clothing other people wear. Why? Because I know id have to fucking suck as a person if I felt superior to others based primarily on my clothing / good looks.

You don't get this. You are therefore a very small person. You judge people based on their clothing because it allows you to artificially prop yourself up on a pedestal. If the rule is "people who wear cargos < people who do not wear cargos" then you're allowed to believe that you are better than other people in spite of how small and insufferable you are.

Can everyone PLEASE relax? If I knew there would be blood shed I never would have asked , jeez. I still haven't even gotten a solid answer.

And whoever said that I said cargo pant wearers were less than people was wrong. Stop putting words in my mouth. All I said was that if you came from a school where people who wore cargos were in a fraternity and they called that acceptable, it probably wasn't the type of fraternity that I was referring to in bing influential.

Wearing cargos does not make you any less of a human being.


Jeez you people are crazy. Forget this, I'm gonna go study some logic games

What frat bros wore cargos? I never saw that. My brethren and I wore only the finest silk spun Brooks Brothers sport coats, salmon trousers, and ascots.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
