Was about to ask the same question. Can someone give us a "definition" of bro-y?

Google it. If you don’t know what it means, you are old, a nerd, or first gen.

Aren't you just a gem? What an a&%.

You don’t have to Google it. It just means white men who are not poor, graduated from college, and were born in the US.

Just like Karen means white women over 25.

Wow, every UVa-related comment here is totally false. Some of you really think that thousands of East Asian and South Asian pre-med academic superstars with perfect GPAs and NIH internships are preppy frat bros? Are you sure about that?

Dont believe that UVA has thousands of premed NIH internships.

About as many people that believe everyone is into theater and a nerd at WM.

Totally nuts too. The main vibe at W&M is fairly preppy, liberal and socially conscious--not artsy, quirky nor nerdy.

Right? I laugh...And yes, lots of research being done, people studying A LOT, and overall terrific young kids. My ds is one of them--and in a fraternity!! And plays musical instruments!!!! These stereotypes are those who don't get in to UVA...happens every year. It is entertainment.

Open up high school yearbook to the varsity baseball or varsity lacrosse team page. Textbook definition of bro-y.

I had to laugh. Guess it depends on the HS. Our HS barely has a lacrosse team and the baseball team is more like The Bad News Bears. They’ve been Mercy Ruled in their first two games. Heavy sigh.

But, I think you’re right on the description. FWIW, the boys I know at WM are the anti-thesis of bros. Figures, they were band kids. Sample size of two, YMMV. LOL.

Opposite. My brother played soccer there, WM. Younger than Jon Stewart- so not on the team. And his friends were not the description I see on here.

IN FACT--MY brother highly suggests my son pick WM over UVA because UVA is so douchey. My brother is 'beyond the bro'-- a higher level of cool where they look down on that striver, tight-*ss, lemming, polo-stuff. My son attends a private HS, plays a sport and also gets turned off by that kind of guy. The fleece polar vest and ball cap crowd.

Clones and lemmings that have a really distinctive 'brown-nose' personality. I think of Doug Neidermeyer in Animal House (typical UVA bro) vs Eric Stratton (from the non-prep) frat.

Perfect UVA stereotype. Not saying its true, but its as true as the theater/dork stereotype people love to perpetuate in WM.

Vast majority are neither or somewhere in between at both schools.

Jon Stewart (WM alum) vs Mr. Bow-tie Tucker Carlson (kids UVA)

This is the profile I see. Would Stewart appear dorky to a bro-y golf Lax crowd? Probably.

Okay, this makes me laugh. I completely get what you’re saying, but I was there right after Jon Stewart and the fraternity he was in was full of LAX players. So maybe they got him (at that time) after all. It’s almost like WM kids can be multi-dimensional beings.

+1 my DS is also in a frat and plays in the orchestra, def not a "bro" at all.

I suspect many WM kids indulge in that too.

Jon Stewart was in Pika - actually not the most lax-y of frats then. But he left it almost immediately. He was a soccer player and those guys were close and partied together.
