Such guys are commonplace in every college.
They act very silly, are ignorant and annoying creatures overall.
The 'beta' guys are just paid by the 'alpha' guy to stand by him.
He becomes a stranger to them the moment his dad stops giving him any money.
Then the betas go in search of a new alpha whose dad lends him both pocket-money and an old blazer.
Might of the middleman leads to the plight of the professionals.
