Chads are everywhere. My brother first introduced me to this idea after hanging around with some frat guys, then noticed some patterns. According to him, every fraternity has a guy named Chad. Chad has many roles, from being the drunk party guy, the asshole jock, or just that cool dude you go to bars with.

I noticed it as well. First, the idea that guys with names like “Chad” might want to join fraternities just made sense for some reason. Second, I found that the number of Chads I knew was mostly proportionate to the amount of fraternities I had acquaintances for. On occasion, a house would have more than one Chad, which threw off the numbers a bit.

To this day, every single person I’ve asked has confirmed that yes, Chad was in their frat.

Today, I decided to reverse the question to see if I’d get the same results. I work with a Chad and ran into him while he was outside having a cigarette. I interrupted his conversation with his boss to ask “Will you help me confirm a theory?” I then asked if he was ever in a fraternity and y’know what he said?

You guessed it.

Another guy who works there started shooting the bull with Chad about their frat experiences. So I turned to him and asked,”was there a Chad in your frat too?” Sure enough, he had one. I swear, you could go into any frat house in the United States and say,”hey, is Chad here?” and you’d get a response like,”Oh yeah, Chad’s upstairs.”

Why? Because every frat has a Chad.
