So what the heck is the FOAOE? and how do I join??

If you are reading this page, I'm assuming that you should be one of the biggest Georgia football fans in the world. I'm talking BIG......HUGE! The point of the Fraternal Order of the Anti-Orange Establishment (FOAOE) is to spread the message of anti-orange and to combat the evils associated with the color orange. Especially when the color blue is also used in combination. These two colors, when placed side-by-side, are the root of all evil in society as we know it today. To see if you can qualify as a member of FOAOE, answer the following questions and you can soon be on your way to a full fledged member!

You know you are a member of FOAOE when:

Your favorite teams are the Georgia Bulldogs and whoever plays an orange team.
You do not own one piece of orange clothing.
In fact, you do not own anything orange.
You refer to fans of those other schools as "the orange persuasion."
When eating M&Ms or Skittles, you never eat the orange ones. You are afraid they might poison you.
When two orange teams play each other, you have a VERY hard time deciding who to pull for. Eventually, you hope that the paddy wagon takes everyone away because it's a federal offense for so much orange to be in one place at one time. It's just too much of a risk to national security.
When you see the color orange, you have to keep from gagging.
When you hear someone yell "GO BIG ORANGE," you immediately think of large fruit.
You think that the term "redneck" should be renamed "orangeneck."
Everytime you attend a UGA vs. Orange School game, you look over at the other side and wonder "Why the @*#&$^* would anyone want to pull for that team??"

If you answered "yes" to all of the above questions - CONGRATULATIONS! You are now a member of FOAOE.

You now have all of the following benefits granted to you.

Possibly hate mail from the orange persuasion (not guaranteed).
A sense of superiority.

Benefits not offered by the Fraternity:

A little sticker for your car window.
A membership card.
Discounts at local restaurants.
A free T-shirt.
Twenty CDs for a penny.

Feedback and Questions from the FOAOE page:

My wife wants to know if there is a secret handshake? Keep up the good work.
Herman & Joanna
UGA '83 & '84

Here's the handshake:
#1: Raise your right arm while making a fist. #2: Slowly twirl the arm in a small circle while making a "GOOOOOO" sound. #3: Suddenly fling the right arm down while yelling the word "DAWGS!!" #4: Pump the right arm back and forth in the air while exclaiming "SIC EM! WOOF WOOF WOOF!"

You can use this handshake when meeting other FOAOE members, or even at anti-FOAOE people.
