Lol at law and medicine having the most broish culture. Look around your classes, do these look like the most socially adept people? Sure, there are a couple former frat bros, but grow up, Peter Pan, the legal and medical fields are full of nerds.

As for VC, banking, and consulting, I don't know as much about these things. From what I know about those that do them at a relatively high level for our age group (25-35), those that have done well are either super geeky or are shmoozy. I wouldn't call them "bros" though. I feel like most bros, at least in the sense of "bro" that I am aware of, went to business school and are in some kind of marketing job somewhere. *shrug*

I would saw banking, PE and VC are the most bro-ish. With a huge caveat that these are all very competitive to get into, which DQs most average bros. I think of these three, VC is the most bro-ish simply b/c there are absolutely 0 VC women.

None of the above.

finance and consulting hires from schools where no bros go. Then magically these guys are "Bros." They are faking it.

At schools like Princeton, Dartmouth, Yale, Duke, etc. where finance and consulting hire from, 20%-50% of the undergraduate population are athletes, Greek members, etc. There are a lot of bros at these schools.

What exactly is the definition of bro? One man's bro appears to be another person's bum. What are the exact traits?

In finance and law, it's Type A strivers who have good grades at elite schools who suddenly don a pink polo and call each other bro.

This is correct. I know bros that work in finance and law, but most people in these professions are posers and are not chill people whatsoever.

Exactly. Wearing chubbies, polos, and boat shoes doesn't make you a bro.

I wish you were right, but I know like 10 people who do.

If it counts as a "profession," the correct answer lies in the spraytanned world of sales.

Bro.
