A FIELD GUIDE TO ART STUDENTS: THE UNDERESTIMATED GREEK
The Underestimated Greek looks like the stereotypical frat boy/sorority girl. They come with all the trappings:
- vacant-sounding diction
- UGG boots
- sideways ballcaps
- popped collars
- fraternity hoodies
- nacho cheese-colored skin
Because art students are usually snobby hipsters, many (including professors) jump to the conclusions that they are not good artists because they don’t have the correct look and pledged something.
Fun Fact: The Underestimated Greeks are the most mocked art student at major university art schools!
However, nothing is logical at art school, so naturally these people often are some of the best artists in the program and often have the best attitudes. They also usually leave the Greek system around their junior year out of disgust and become either hipsters and/or pre-med majors.
