Worst. T-Shirt. Ever.
From DCist contributor Jeff Simmermon.
This DCist was walking through Georgetown with an old college friend on Sunday, wallowing in the warm sun and the uniquely back-to-school feel you get from hot late-summer days. We reminisced about the good times, lamented our button-down jobs and 50-hour work weeks and wondered like hell why we wanted to get out of school so badly.
Then we saw this guy talking and laughing with two admiring girls in front of us at Café Tu-on-Tu. We managed to get out of there before vomiting in despair for humanity, but just barely.
We never thought we would say this, but thank god for business casual...it keeps the riff-raff in line.

Nothing quite as simultaneously amusing and frustrating as when people actually act exactly like the stereotypes we have of them.
If this shirt was printed up by a GU fraternity it seems like the sort of behaviour that would be, to say the least, frowned upon by the administration of an upstanding Catholic university. The fact that the picture is obviously a porn shot onto which clothes and pom-poms have been crudely drawn just adds an extra level of classiness to whole thing.
Oh my god! They almost showed nudity! And their catholics too! To hell with them. Get a rope!
Come on. Get over it.
At my college, the frat guys had a shirt that said "Freshman Girls: Get 'em while they're skinny".
Café Tu-on-Tu
I really hope you meant Cafe Tu-Oh-Tu.
GU doesn't have any official Greek life so I wonder if this was a student visiting from elsewhere.
As any recent GW grad may know, APES is an unrecognized fraternity at GW. I think it was founded by members of a frat that had been kicked off campus, but I never really followed the story all that closely.
I attend GW, the APES are an unrecognized, and notorious for hazing practices, fraternity at GW. That is their current RUSH shirt. Unfortunatley there really isn't anything the University can, or is willing to do. They already dont recognize the, and dont let them partake in other communiuty wide or events of other sorrorities, and when complains come in the can penalize individuals, but as they have no national organization they continue on their own.
As to DS, they were AEPi, an actualy fraternity and were shutdown for hazing, and decided to call themselves APES, whether or not they use the same ritual or made up their own is obviously unknown. This shouldn't be confused with the real AEPi who came back to GW in 2001, and has been just the opposite.
For the record, I am a member of GW's greek community, in Beta Theta Pi, AEPi are our neighbors, if you read the Hatchet during RUSH time all of the articles encourage not going to these fraternities, but again only so much you can do.
worst. headline. ever.
bad blogging 101 - this line is dead. it's the lance armstrong bracelet of the blogging world.
I thought it was funny.
Take it from someone who was in the original AEPi...
The T-Shirt pictured was originally created in 1999 for the Alpha Epsilon Pi brothers of George Washington University as a "Rush Shirt". In 2000, the fraternity was thrown off campus and became the unrecognized APES - what you see above. The current AEPi fraternity at GW is in no way related to this T-Shirt as they are probably too "straight-laced" for something this funny.
However, you are missing the front of the shirt which features the funniest part.
"AEPi - We might not go down in history, but we'll go down on your little sister."
Oh no!! Frat boys and crude humor, civilization is crumbling!!!
