How to Obtain a Fracket
Because who wants to walk home in the cold with little to no clothes on.

Okay, so how do you about stealing (I mean borrowing) a fracket? Well, there are a few ways you can go about it:
1. You can just get your own.
2. You can steal it.
3. You can ask for one.
So, where do you purchase a fracket? Well, you should know this jacket has a high chance of getting dirty, lost, or stolen, so it shouldn’t be your favorite or one that’s expensive. Please do not wear your Canada Goose jacket to a frat! I suggest you thrift a zip-up or an oversized sweatshirt, but be sure you are okay with never seeing it again. Besides that, I wouldn’t recommend spending over $10 on a jacket you know you’re wearing to a frat house.
In my opinion, the easiest way to obtain a fracket is to simply borrow it. Most frat guys realize it’s super cold outside, especially in Syracuse. They want you to come back to their frat, so of course, they want to make you feel comfortable. Most of the time, along with a walking companion, I have been offered a jacket, but sadly it was taken back after my walk home from the night out. If you want to keep your fracket and make sure you don’t have to go through borrowing one every time you go out, then I don’t recommend having the frat boy walk you home.
Now, let’s say you have a consistent sneaky link. All you have to do is go into their closest and take one. Most likely you will be back to see him, so you can just give it back and rotate your collection of frackets. This is also an easy way to create an excuse to see your sneaky link again (as we all do). Just say you have to return his sweatshirt! However, if a boy doesn’t offer you a sweatshirt the night before or the morning after, DROP HIM! What guy is okay with a girl freezing on the way home? He is definitely not a keeper. Find a new sneaky link.

Now that you have obtained your fracket, where should you hide it when you get to a frat? I am about to give you all my best hiding spots, so please do not take my fracket!

The goal is to never take another girl's fracket, no matter how cold you are. Always take it from the guys. It honestly depends on the frat, but most of the time you can easily find any of these places. The first is easy: If you have a friend just put it in their room. Still, I am sometimes the victim of a stolen fracket when I used this technique, so I put it under their sheets or find another place to hide it in their room. Never leave your fracket in plain open sight! This is where it gets a little more technical… depending on where the party is taking place, put it in their kitchen cabinets. I can assure you no one is going into a frat boy’s kitchen during a party. If that fails, find their laundry room and fully put it into their washer or dryer (The girls that get it, get it!). The boys barely use them, and no one would think to look there.
Good luck finding and hiding your frackets! Stay warm out there, xoxo.
