ISU has thousands of students roaming around campus each and every day. With that in mind, one can scope out a variety of different types of ISU guys. Whether he is kickin’ it with his bros or studying at Milner on the weekends, we got you covered with the 7 types of guys you’ll meet at ISU. Â
Â
Â
The Hipster
Whether you see him skimming through the racks of Goodwill for a new flannel or serving you a mocha latte at The Coffeehouse, you can never miss this Hipster. His sense of style might be borderline metrosexual but it’s just in his Hipster ways. It’s guaranteed he’ll be rocking a beanie and/or fake glasses and his deep V will probably be deeper than more than half of your cleavage baring tops. You can recognize a true hipster by his faint smell of cigarettes and teen angst. He may try to strike up a conversation with you, likely circling around topics of music or Zooey Deschenal. He could also possibly approach you with a casual, “So have you seen the awesome sale at Urban?” or “The Killers? Such sellouts”. When talking to him stay far away from subjects such as ESPN and Pitbull, for they will only make him whip out his look of disgust that he has perfected so well. Though his aura might read “If you don’t know the Fleet Foxes – don’t talk to me,” this guy is a sure thing for a great date filled with a little-known coffee shop concert and of course, lots of PBR.Â

The College of Business Man
We all know we’ve seen him….the guy who wears a suit everyday, chillin’ in the college of business, drinkin’ his coffee. He’ll take more classes than the rest of us and make sure he’s acing all of them. He’s got internships and jobs all lined up for the future. Sorry ladies, he’s already busy for the whole summer. He’s ready to take on the real world. While we may laugh at him now, since he obviously looks ridiculous compared to everyone else wearing sweats to class, but there’s no doubt he’ll do amazing in the future. Those COB men sure do know how to dress to impress. Every girl does loves a man in uniform.

The GDI
Known as “God damn independent”, these guys have no affiliation with Greek life. These guys are known for doing their own thing. You can find them everywhere here at ISU, but mostly apartments and house parties. Although they are no “Frat Daddy”, they seem to point out A LOT that they are not in a fraternity.  Yet, don’t underestimate these boys ability to play the game!  They are definitely capable of turning on their charm and making you fall in love! You’ll probably never see him dating a sorority girl because well… like… that’s just NOT acceptable because he hates Greeks for the most part. GDI’s date GDI’s, end of story. The typical GDI guy has friends from all different circles. He’s a social butterfly that just wants to party, have a good time, and spend his money on things other than “brotherhood”.

Frat Boy
The stereotypical frat boy is usually found at his campus home- the frat house. With sticky floors and alcohol in abundance, the frat house is the place to be on a Thursday through Saturday night, unless they have a social of course. The frat boy is known for using those annoying pick-up lines that we see in the movies, and surprisingly they actually work on the usual drunk girl. Yet, they know how to turn on the charm and will actually step up and ask you on a romantic date (don’t tell his brothers though). These frat stars are also usually up all night and sleeping all day. They coined the term “bromance” and reiterate this relationship with their daily trips to the Rec to lift and “get big” in their matching Greek lettered cut offs. Watch out if you are downtown with these frat boys, they go HAM bruh because they are in the top three ISU frats!

The Honor Student
He love books and he has no shame in admitting it. Having a healthy relationship with the library, he thinks he lives there. This rare breed of man, the honor student is part of the Milner “regulars”. This guy seems to have his own spot in the library, as if it’s reserved only for him. Dubbed as the honor student, this guy gets his stuff done. He gets straight A’s and he’s prim and proper. Parties on the weekends? No way has this guy rages at the library, him and the librarians are on a first name basis. This glasses wearin’ cutie has no time for the gym; he’s most likely a bit skinny which allows him to stay at the library for long periods of time because he has a fast metabolism. The honor student is typically not the most attractive guy but he definitely has a great work ethic and most likely to succeed. What’s the way to this kid’s heart? Ask him for help on your homework or where Albert Camus The Stranger is located. He’ll notice your love for knowledge and French authors. In other words you’re in.

The 5th Year Senior
The fifth year senior had so much fun in college for the first four years that they decided to stay one more year and lend their experience and knowledge to the younger generation of ISU-ers. Right?! They have changed their majors at least three or four times, so they are experts in several areas of study. They can be seen hitting on freshmen girls before they take the party bus downtown where they have become regulars at the Blo-No bars over the years. See you next year my friends!

The Athlete
Sports are his number one priority. At school, his coach is his best friend; the one who determines his future and would do anything for his “star athlete”. The buff man spends most of his time on the court or field, and considers working out to be relaxing. The only thing that evens compares to scoring on the court or field is scoring in the bedroom. Relationships? Who has the time? Everyone knows who his is, so athletes may have the privilege of having a different girl every weekend. It’s this man’s dream of making it to the big times. When he’s not focusing on sports, he is in one of the many easy ISU electives… thinking about sports.
