[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does "bro-y" mean?[/quote]

Open up high school yearbook to the varsity baseball or varsity lacrosse team page. Textbook definition of bro-y.[/quote]
I had to laugh. Guess it depends on the HS. Our HS barely has a lacrosse team and the baseball team is more like [i]The Bad News Bears[/i]. 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. [/quote]

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 [b]because UVA is so douchey.[/b]  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.[/quote]

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

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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

Jen Psaki is the other recent W&M alum "celeb" that seems to fit the broad W&M stereotype--intellectual humor, earnest, liberal and basically engaged in the world.  W&M students seem to be well-informed and interested in politics but not super activist. The dominant trait I see is that they are generally intelligent and reasonable people.  There seem to be a lot of long-term couples rather than hook-up culture.  They are still 18-21 and party etc. but they seem to basically accept that they are mainly in college to learn.[/quote]
