In a follow-up by our reporters, we were able to get the following statement on the subject: \u201cI am a hipster. And now that I\u2019m old enough to go to the bars, I don&#8217;t have to care what my brothers think so they&#8217;ll buy me liquor. I can finally get rid of these hideous boat shoes, hang up my vinyl collection, and enjoy some nice craft brews from a place I know outside of Cleveland that you probably wouldn&#8217;t recognize. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>The tweet made by Buchanan was well-received, garnering 12 likes and 1 retweet from his longtime best friend Alex Fear. &#8220;While I had a hunch, I was never quite sure,&#8221; Fear told reporters. &#8220;When he started re-tweeting a bunch of stuff about the importance of beard oil, I knew something was up, but I figured I would let him take his time. I didn&#8217;t want to put any more stress on him than what I&#8217;m sure he was already experiencing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Though initially fearful of backlash from his parents, Dave was reassured when they told him that they were more than happy to stop paying for his semester dues and alcohol fund. &#8220;It is a hard decision to hear your son has made. We weren&#8217;t quite sure how to take it at first, but we can still tell he&#8217;s the same old Dave we raised,&#8221; his mother informed reporters. She continued, &#8220;He&#8217;s just kind of a douchebag now about the things he likes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked about how he feels this decision will impact his future, Dave told reporters he thinks a less party-heavy life will be good for him. &#8220;I&#8217;m ready for some PBR, man-buns, and going to house parties once a month while on horse tranquilizers. It&#8217;s time that I finally show my true self.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Fannie Wanker Flipside has received reports that former Theta Chi Social Chair, Dave Buchanan, has informed the world of his true hipster personality following his tweet about Bon Iver&#8217;s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":546,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[242,244,52,241,243,246,245],"class_list":["post-545","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","tag-coming-out","tag-gay","tag-greek","tag-greek-life","tag-hipster","tag-skinny-love","tag-twitter","has_thumb"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hoosierflipside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/15996209_1327022190674127_1979652776_n.jpg?fit=642%2C428&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7b5Hd-8N","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":757,"url":"https:\/\/hoosierflipside.com\/index.php\/2017\/04\/21\/former-ato-members-to-host-little-er-500-for-banned-greek-houses\/","url_meta":{"origin":545,"position":0},"title":"Former ATO Members to Host &#8220;Little-er 500&#8221; for Banned Greek Houses","author":"Hoosier Flipside","date":"April 21, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"By: Jonathan Pollock BLOOMINGTON, IN -- With the women's Little 500 race almost here, former members of Greek society Alpha Tau Omega have announced they will be hosting the Delts, Tri Delts, and Phi Psi in their own collegiate athletic competition dubbed the \"Little-er 500.\" The events will include an\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Local&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Local","link":"https:\/\/hoosierflipside.com\/index.php\/category\/local\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hoosierflipside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/60197_atopanorama_webf.jpg?fit=1000%2C486&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hoosierflipside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/60197_atopanorama_webf.jpg?fit=1000%2C486&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hoosierflipside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/60197_atopanorama_webf.jpg?fit=1000%2C486&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hoosierflipside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/60197_atopanorama_webf.jpg?fit=1000%2C486&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x"},"classes":[]},{"id":928,"url":"https:\/\/hoosierflipside.com\/index.php\/2017\/11\/30\/prohibition-of-greek-life-social-events-leads-to-opening-of-speakeasy-in-wells-stacks\/","url_meta":{"origin":545,"position":1},"title":"Prohibition of Greek Life Social Events Leads to Opening of Speakeasy in Wells Stacks","author":"Hoosier Flipside","date":"November 30, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"By: Sutton Lee Seymour and Jonathan Pollock BOOMINGTON, IN - In light of the recent Interfraternity Council\u2019s prohibition of social events and alcohol circulation among Greek houses, dissatisfied members have\u00a0opened a 1920s-style speakeasy on the Wells library eighth-floor stacks.
