Roy Jones Jr and Felix Trinidad — who have a combined age of 72 — have an upcoming fight to decide once and for all who shouldn't have come out of retirement. And in an effort to generate more buzz and build a larger audience, Jones has joined a fraternity.
To further his celebrity and broaden his appeal, in August, Jones became an honorary member of Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity. TKE is the largest social fraternity in the world with a presence on almost 300 college campuses in North America, and an initiated membership of over 220,000. This is an interesting marketing strategy for the self-promoted Jones… The “hey, that’s our fraternity brother” crowd could provide a buzz among a demographic that currently seems more interested in video games and drinking games—18 to 23 year old college students.
So, to recap: a 38-year-old guy looking to revive his failing career joins a fraternity to become more popular. Ring ring. Hello? Roy, it's for you. USA Network wants the movie rights.

Now that he is in a fraternity, Roy Jones, Jr. is entitled to date rape anyone he wants, right?
He wants to be introduced before the fight to the tune of "Crash Into Me"
Lamar Luttrell is going to be excited.
The paddling must've been a breeze for a man who gets hit in the face for a living.
Thank you sir, may I have another.
Roy was the absolute man.
That picture is funny.
Brilliant, Suss.
Oh Christ, I'm in TKE….
I wonder if Roy had to play the soggy cracker game to get in.
TKE: Torturous Knockout Ensues
"How could you ever get tired of looking at that ass, Takashi?"
If you can't go Greek, go TKE!
What a bunch of d-bags.
Roy's going streaking!!!!!
Jones will give TKE some street cred; he actually knowns Otis.
Knows, even. Crap. Damn public education.
"Outta my way, lady, I wanna see some of that muff!"
Being a pro athlete, I would've pegged him more as an SAE man.
(Sex Always Expected & Sexual Assault Experts are the only ones I remember from college)
Roy Jones – "How does it feel to be an independent, Felix Trinadad?"
Feliz Trinadad – "How does it feel to be an Asshole, Roy Jones?"
Just don't call TKE a frat. "Do you call your country a cunt?"
(Sometimes, by the way.)
"ring the fucking bell, you pansy!"
(with hundreds of college kids chanting, "you're my boy, Roy!")
Did anyone bother to tell him that of all the fraternities he could have joined, he chose the one that is best known for collecting douchebags and assholes with popped collars like they were Pokemons?
I know that this opens me up to douchebaggery comments, but TKE is not the largest fraternity. SAE has over 280,000 initiates. As an SAE, let me assure you that Sexual Assault is indeed Expected.
Douchebag!
(Someone had to.)
I wouldn't want to have Roy next to me during the customary Elephant Walk.
RJJ's evil conscience: Fuck her. Fuck her brains out. Suck her tits, squeeze her buns. You know she wants it.
RJJ's good conscience: For shame! Roy, I'm surprised at you!
RJJ's evil conscience: Aw, don't listen to that jack-off. Look at those gazongas. You'll never get a better chance.
RJJ's good conscience: If you lay one finger on that poor sweet helpless girl, you'll despise yourself forever… I'm proud of you, Roy.
RJJ's evil conscience: You homo.
News at 10: Roy Jones Jr.s new favorite drink is Natty Lite.
