Observation #1 At the bar

Tuesday night I observed the people that walked into the bar at Pantana Bob's. It was one of the busiest nights I've ever worked there not to mention it was St. Patrick's day so everyone was a little more loud, rowdy, and excited than usual. I did fairly well though to monitor the actions and ways of the fraternity and sorority girls that I've met or know of. To be honest most would think a fraternity guy would be the loudest and most wild but I found this to be very untrue. The fraternity guys acted in good measure early. The rudest ones at the door were all ones I wasn't familar and by looking at them i didn't believe they were part of a fraternity. As the night when on the Greeks changed their manners a little. I caught one I know dancing on the tables which although funny I had to get him down. Then while outside one of my closer friends threw a bottle across the street making a mess and causing a minor commotion. Besides some yelling or foul language ( the regular for many who go to the bar), the fraternity guys kept it quite in check. In regards to my hypothesis though I noitced a lot. My hypothesis is that Greeks, in particular fraternity guys, all seem to have similar mannerisms, personalities, and styles. I found this to true in some cases and false in others. The fraternity guys I saw wore the polo shrits and sperrys but honestly just about everyone in Chapel Hill dresses like that now. The fraternity ones atitudes varied greatly. Some I saw would come and talk to me and ask how I was. They were polite and nice. Others would barely say hey and just stick their arms out for a wrist band as if they had some entitlement or something. Basically some but certainly not all fraternity guys are arrogant and most to a degree have some cockiness. But at the end of the day are they really different overall. The only real thing that fraternity guys seemed to have a in common that night was that they were all Greek besides that they demonstrated different characteristics.
