History Main / WackyFratboyHijinx

Suffice to say, when this happens in real life, people either get into serious legal trouble or neglect studying and drop out (or, at best, have a rude awakening).

* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'': The Holliday Girls spend far more time participating in wacky sorority girl hijinx, and beating up Nazis, than they do going to class. This gets them in real trouble on occasion such as the time two of the Heyday triplets were kidnapped from the Girls' Haunted House mostly because the place was incredibly unsecured and no one knew where they were since the older girls grabbed them and tossed them in a truck to bring them there on a whim.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Undergrads}}'': Rocko engages in various kinds of these, particularly odd hazing rituals, to the embarrassment of his fratmates.
** The irony is that Rocko is the only one that fills in the fratboy stereotype. His other fratmates don't go for drinking, ogling at girls, or pulling pranks (Well, except for parties).

A movie in which much of the humor comes from [[{{Fratbro}} fratboys]] getting [[AlcoholInducedIdiocy highly intoxicated and doing incredibly stupid, risky, and dangerous things]] and getting away with it. Usually has the main characters as a bunch of loveable rogues pitted against the evil [[AristocratsAreEvil aristocratic]] old money frathouses or oppressive [[DeanBitterman deans]]. Expect panty raids. Lots of panty raids.

* Subverted in ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers''. The guys in the underdog house think they're involved in a prank war with the popular house, but they're being tricked by a house alumni. The guys in the popular house spend their free time doing charity work.

* ''Series/TheGlades'': In "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves", a pair of pledges are dumped in the swamp in their underwear as part of their hazing. While truding their way out, they stumble on the BodyOfTheWeek.

* Some side missions in ''VideoGame/SaintsRowGatOutOfHell'' have demon fratbros engaging in this kind of behaviour, mainly trying to smack each other into goal rings to score points.

* The fraternity households in ''[[VideoGame/TheSims2 The Sims 2 University]]'' certainly ''can'' be played this way, depending on the player's inclination, and some of the game mechanics (e.g. toga parties) are obviously meant to invite it.

* ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'' has an episode where the parents have their kids see what the local college is like. Fred's father, Mayor Fred Jones Sr., is clearly very fond of his college days and urges his son to see his old frat, which is currently full of {{Frat Bro}}s. It gets implied that Mayor Jones went through one of these stages, as he's considered a legend in his frat, there's an unsubstantiated rumor circulating in his frat that [[NoodleIncident he ate a live bear]], and WordOfGod implying that he liked toga parties. A flashback from a later episode suggests that he was just a charismatic [[TheSmartGuy smart guy]] that [[{{Narcissist}} liked the attention]] rather than being a typical dumb FratBro.

-> "There's a time and a place for everything. It's called 'college'."
-->--'''Chef''', ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''

* Likewise parodied in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', where Homer has to go [[BackToSchool back to college]] and complete his degree, and blindly assumes that college in real life is like college in the movies, going so far as to watch various ''AnimalHouse'' knock-offs as "research". [[WrongGenreSavvy It isn't.]]

* In ''ComicBook/MyLittlePonyMicroSeries'' Issue #3 during Rarity's after party, involving a stallion with [[AnimalHouse Bluto's]] likeness, (he even has Delta Tau Chi as his cutie mark) Lyra Heartstrings, Octavia and Pinkie.

* The SpikeTV series ''Series/BlueMountainState'' lives on this.

* In an early episode of ''QuantumLeap,'' Sam Beckett finds himself as part of a rowdy fraternity in the body of a popular football player (with two girls in bed when he leaps in).

* In Creator/EdgarAllanPoe 's "William Wilson," the eponymous character is implied to be in an early form of one of these, and spends a lot of time drinking and gambling, and chasing women. (Overlaps with WriteWhatYouKnow.)[[note]]Given that Poe was most likely asexual; his only college experience was at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point (where he soon dropped out and which has never hosted Greek organizations); and his alcoholism was in reality oversold by a literary rival seeking to undermine his reputation, it's hard to see where the overlap is.[[/note]]
