For reasons involving “real” jobs, a life changing trip to Ibiza, various golf & beach related frativities, as well as the constant pursuit of other ventures (YoungProfreshional + ChicagoBro, stay tuned…) we have been slacking on The Fratrepreneur. Sorry for partying. Now we’re back, and want to give some love out to “Making Moves”, a [...]

“CampusProtein was started by two Greek sophomores at Indiana University — Russell Saks and Mike Kunz, realized that the biggest demographic for weightlifting supplements (college students), had the hardest time getting the supplements.

Payscale.com – “Toga! Toga! Toga! Find out if universities with a reputation for party-prone students prepare them for the real world. We dug into the Princeton Review’s “Top 20 Party Schools” list to see if party school grads keep the party going after graduation or buckle down and start making the big bucks.” Top Party [...]
Greek numbers are down nationwide. Universities donʼt want the risk and could use the real estate to repurpose as new offices or classrooms as more and more kids go to college. This isnʼt anything new (see: Animal House, Old School, or any movie involving frats). When chapters do risk losing their charter from poor recruitment [...]
Walking through the University of Chicago Medical School Campus, I was nostalgic about college. I was meeting my buddy Max Beatty for a Creative Entrepreneurship Workshop organized my Minogi and the University of Illinois iFoundry. The atmosphere was relaxed and encouraging – the entrepreneurs in the room kept a chill ambiance with intriguing explanations of [...]
So this intriguing (hilarious) piece hit my work inbox about a week ago. While pretending to listen to a tedious client mandated conference call, I let out a chuckle as I briefly read through it. As I returned to it later that day, it made me think… Am I wasting away my youth as the [...]
If you are remotely connected to the outside world, you know that on Friday the SEC filed civil charges against Goldman Sachs. Specifically, for their role in structuring and marketing certain CDOs for subprime mortgage backed securities at the request of hedge fund owner John Paulson. That morning, I stepped out a conference room to [...]
My man Boris hit me up with an idea of how to revolutionize the way we buy textbooks. Take some lessons from this guy’s drive and potential. I realize that this is somewhat of a saturated market – but it’s how you set yourself apart from the competition that will ultimately lead to your success. [...]

In the not so distant past I can recall attending sorority events and having a marginally good time. Typically, the drinks were too expensive, the inter-couple conversations too forced, and the general Fratmosphere too, well…formal. However, I now realize that these don’t always have to be this way. Here is a letter sent to the [...]

A couple of weeks late on this tape, but we’re not sleepin’ anymore. The tape to get today is Greatness Opens Doors by G.o.D. Jewels. Straight out of Chicago (so already legit in our books), this guy has put out some great music and needs to be on everyone’s iPods. Just today, Urbana Poppin’ Champaign (a [...]

I was thinking about just updating the other Kinetics & One Love post, but decided that this one deserved a separate post. Here’s a brand new track from the duo we recommended you check out last week. The guys had a little help this time from Wynter Gordon (might recognize her from Flo Rida’s Sugar [...]

Three albums/mixtapes were pretty much essential buys/downloads this past week, we’ll start with the obvious. B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray Sick album. Nothing more to say. Except that he is incredibly talented–he writes, arranges, mixes, and produces everything himself. I’m not gonna post any individual tracks here because you really gotta get the [...]
