In a lot of ways this character is an evolution of the Dumb Jock stereotype as they often fulfill the same role, although the Fratbro will not necessarily be an athlete (he will at least be a big follower of sports, however). Rare is the fratboy that is studying to be a teacher or physician where they'd have to rely on their own skills and not personal connections. For this reason they often study straightforward, business-related majors like accounting, marketing, real estate, etc. Despite the name, they don't have to be (or have been) in a fraternity.Īs far as academics go, they live by the motto 'C's get degrees,' and the more well-off bros are often guaranteed a job under one of their parents regardless of school performance. They're almost always unintellectual and usually want to party and drink all day, try to get laid all night, and will likely engage in Wacky Fratboy Hijinx. The Fratbro is a male college student or alumnus depicted in a stereotypical fratboy-ish manner.
