So embarrassed about his video game habit that he stole? We'd love to know how far he'd go to cover up paying to join a fraternity.

Another would be My Little Pony. That would at least explain his ridiculous stupidity...

Did he buy all the Ben Heck models or something? How'd he spend $12,000 on games? Does that include the 70" TV?

My thoughts exactly. His story is a fishy one. You can barely reach HALF of that ammount by getting all current gen consoles, a $2000 PC and a bunch of games for each system. Unless you got REALLY nuts buying any crap that looks remotely playable.
...
Just read the original article. I'd definitely want to see that shopping list. $12,280! Damn!

Stupid ass frat boys giving us at UW a bad name. If he was so worried about his parents seeing what he spent his money on, he could have just gone to an ATM and gotten cash. Idiot.

An idiot he is, but I can't help but wonder if there's another one around here somewhere being that you consider a random act by a random person to represent any organization or should even lead others to do so. Guilty by association epitomizes the hierarchy of stupidity.

Pretty sure grocery stores sell video games as well. His parents wouldn't know if he was buying food from Wal-Mart, video games, or even cases of liquor.

As someone who's only knowledge of the American frat system comes from movies, is there actually a point to it?
As far as i can tell its just a load of people joining clubs with stupid names... yet those clubs seem to be some kind of officially recognised national organisation. I guess there must be some benefit if the universities allow it... right?
Do any other countries have a frat system?

There is something to be said about good fraternities. A friend of mine joined a fraternity called TKE; it looks like basically a club that works for each of its members. It organizes socials, get-togethers, events, etc, as well as gives each of the new pledges a chance to meet someone in the university and get a leg up instead of just being thrust into the environment without any help.
Not all of fraternities are the "Hey bro, wicked cool *chugs keg*" variety; those can just go and get punched.

You also have to remember each campus has its own chapter of different frats. TKEs might have been a respectable frat at your campus, but where I went to school, they were the as you appropriately put it "Hey bro, wicked cool *chugs keg*" variety.
Usually there is at least one frat on campus that is the good one (lots of service work, doesn't really party). I was in one for a little bit. I didn't mind the service work, but the other members were just kind of boring and it wasn't the experience that I was looking for.

If you're in a frat you could become President and give perks to your frat brothers. From there you can continue your shenanigans by doing illegal acts and claiming you got something useful out of said acts.... even though what you did was ILLEGAL!!
Where have we heard this story before? Hmm....

So it's the industry's fault for me stealing twenty games from Wal-Mart. Completely has nothing to do with me being a thief.

These lads are a fine example of what we refer to here in England as 'Chavs'. The social underclass. Walking round without shirts, smoking pot and shopping in slippers. Pure class!

Perhaps you should read my post again and think about what you said. I never said that I think he represents the entire institution. It's the stupid people of the world that will make ignorant judgements based on isolated events. So calling me stupid while agreeing with me? Nice one.

Other things bought with the Fraternities money:
1. The entire Jack Johnson CD collection
2. A years supply of Keystone Light
3. A very classy beer pong table
4. The entire tapout clothing collection
5. A performance by Asher Roth in which he will play his instant "classic" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43pkqeamXe8
6. A years supply of roofies
I think it would be very hard for anyone to buy $12,000 worth of video games.
