In a recent article, it was brought to light how a former marketing executive for Bud Light faced backlash for labeling the brand as “fratty.” This points to a broader issue of disdain for traditional values and a push to alienate loyal consumers. Cheap domestic beer, often associated with fraternity parties, holds a special place in the hearts of many Americans. It’s concerning when individuals in positions of influence fail to understand this connection.
However, a recent incident at UNC-Chapel Hill highlighted the positive aspects of fraternity culture. Members of Pi Kappa Phi stood up for the American flag when pro-Hamas protesters tried to replace it with the Palestinian flag. This act of patriotism and respect for the flag showcases the values of loyalty and love for country that are often ingrained in fraternity members.

It’s important to recognize and appreciate moments like these, where young men demonstrate their commitment to American principles. Fraternities can play a vital role in instilling these values in the next generation. Instead of vilifying them as “fratty,” we should celebrate their positive contributions to society and their willingness to stand up for what is right.
Overall, the focus should be on nurturing a sense of pride in American traditions and values, rather than demeaning cultural touchstones like fraternity brotherhood. It’s heartening to see young people embracing patriotism and upholding the symbols of our nation. Let’s encourage more of this behavior and support the positive aspects of fraternity culture.
