Study on Colgate Frats Published in American Architecture Review

HAMILTON, NY — The unique style of architectural design known collectively as “frarchitecture” was recently recognized in a study published in the journal of American Architecture as a distinct style of contemporary American architectural design, referencing multiple pieces of real estate built by so-called “frarchitects” at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York as prime examples of this new, truly unique style of postmodernist design.

“I am shocked and appalled by the design choices made by the drunken buffoons who designed this place,” said Thomas Jordanson, describing the fraternity house of Delta Upsilon. “It was as if someone made as many weird size rooms as possible, and stuck the staircase in the most inconvenient place, with the single-minded intention of making the place confusing and unintuitive. The basement was even stranger. The ‘brothers’ room is way too accessible and obvious.”

“After touring DU, I thought that I had seen the worst, but then I entered Phi Kappa Tau. The basement was particularly strange, with its weird wall art and hole in the middle of the floor. Furthermore, the rooms were arranged in a strange maze, with random doors connecting them,” stated Jordanson in his study, “the house known as ‘Tach’ seemed to be the most normal, but these houses set the lowest bar possible.”

Jordanson published his study on Frarchitecture to critical acclaim from similarly disgusted architects, all of whom have actual qualifications. Upon being asked for a comment on the Swamp, Jordanson claimed that if he ever saw it again, he would “literally puke.”
