A few friends from Forest Grove were hanging out after finals last spring.
"Walker, Texas Ranger" was on and Pabst Blue Ribbon was being openly consumed.
Thinking this was something great, the guys decided to start a "fake" fraternity sponsored by Pabst.
They sent an e-mail to the general questions and comments page on Pabst's Web site. Ten minutes later, impatient for a response, they made a phone call to PBR.
The response from a Pabst marketing representative was overwhelmingly positive.
Today, Oregon State has its very own beer-sponsored, unaffiliated fraternity: Pi Beta Rho.
