** Sage agreeing to have sex with the MC in Tybalt's room during the Preps' party becomes even funnier with the Episode 8 reveal that [[spoiler:Tybalt is her hated adopted brother]].

** Subverted with the first date with Sage in Episode 10. Given the magnitude of the step in their relationship, it is clear that she feels a great deal of pressure for it to go well, which causes her to say hilariously inappropriate things at the restaurant.

** If Quinn comes to your room in Episode 6, she looks at the [[spoiler:smashed-up mansion]] and asks if the tri-Alphas are responsible. When the MC asks what gave it away, she wordlessly points to a large alpha symbol spray-painted nearby.

* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: Set in stone by the [=DIKs=]' secret code, a code a DIK member may invoke only once to ensure that something be "wiped from [the] memory" of all DIK brothers. The most notable example of this is when Jacob invokes the code during the Hell Week evaluation in Episode 5 to ensure that the details regarding [[spoiler:either Derek having sex with the old teacher (which he essentially does as a favour to Derek for "stepping on the granny grenade" for the sake of the frat) or the MC having sex with Jade (realising how bad things could get if word got out about it)]] remain a secret, though not all invocations of the code are this grave or significant (Jamie, for instance, invoked it just to ensure that the rest of the [=DIKs=] didn't make fun of him for his gardening hobby). [[spoiler:Later events reveal that the code is not as sacrosanct among all of the frat members as most may want it to be: if the MC had sex with Jade and revealed it to the [=DIKs=], Stephen Burke is seen at the end of Episode 6 watching the video Tremolo shared with them. Episode 10 also has Tommy unashamedly break the code if sufficiently angered: on Josy and Maya's route, where he is angry at the MC being in a relationship with his stepsister, he angrily yells about Tremolo's relationship with Maya and Josy, which Tremolo invoked his DIK code for, to the entire DIK mansion, including the [=HOTs=] who have come to help with post-party cleanup, which makes the code pointless.]]

** Episode 10 reveals Maya and Derek's family to be this, big time, even apart from Patrick's FinancialAbuse of her. Her mother Helen has suffered from rheumatoid arthritis and dementia since around the time the twins were born, and several years of constant pain have resulted in her being [[{{Jerkass}} often rude and hurtful]]. Patrick, who deeply loves her, has promised her that she will see her grandchildren before she died, which is a major reason why he is so opposed to Maya dating a girl; he is also revealed to have been abusing Maya in several ways, including physically, on top of the financial abuse.

*** If the player has the name "Lucky" and is committed to Jill, then, in Episode 10, when they sit in the bathtub in the Preps' mansion together, he says that he feels like the luckiest man alive, and she responds "It's easy to feel lucky with a name like yours."

** The movie Tremolo and Sage watch during their date in Episode 10 has [[Film/Barbie2023 a pink convertible being driven by a blonde woman dressed in pink]], with [[Film/{{Oppenheimer}} a man wearing a hat, smoking a cigarette, and wearing a suit sitting in the back seat while an explosion goes off behind them]], a clear reference to the "Barbenheimer" meme surrounding the two films' release.

** In Episode 1, after the MC finds out about his acceptance to B&R, he says that he will be glad to quit his part-time job, and Neil remarks that his boss will miss having him as an employer. The immediate next frame is of Tremolo's employer telling him that him quitting saves him the trouble of firing him.

* WalkOfShame: Codified into a tradition by the [=DIKs=]: the morning after a party (or any weekend, really), the [=DIKs=] gather on top of the stairs near the main hall and sing a "Walk of Shame" song to any girl who is leaving a DIK's room. Girls are often embarrassed at this, though reactions vary: [[ReallyGetsAround Arieth]] whoops to the song, John Boy's long-term girlfriend Elena just laughs it off, and the one time Isabella stays over in Tremolo's room, she gives the boys a DeathGlare so potent it shuts all of them up. By the time his room is ready, Tremolo is savvy enough to try to get any overnight female company in his room out through his window to avoid them having to go through it (though, as in the case of [[spoiler:Isabella]] in Episode 9, this isn't foolproof). This becomes plot-important in some paths, particularly in Episode 9: [[spoiler:on Maya and Josy's path, the two accidentally exiting the MC's room is how Tommy finds out about their relationship; Sage on her path goes on the Walk herself and announces that she's dating the MC (with the [=DIKs=] being stunned if Tremolo slept with Jade and they know); and the MC puts a stop to it in Jill's path, introducing her as his girlfriend (to Rusty's surprise, given that he had dated her previously)]].

** When Josy tells the MC over dinner that Tommy is her stepbrother in Episode 2, Tremolo wonders how Tommy would react if he knew that the two of them were having dinner together; Josy laughs, saying "He would '''so''' beat you up." [[spoiler:This turns out to be the case in the start of Episode 10 if you have committed to her and Maya when Tommy sees a naked Josy emerge from Tremolo's room during the Walk of Shame.]]

** If you decide to give Sage guitar lessons, then while approaching her room in Episode 3, the MC hears her having an argument with Chad after [[spoiler:his suspension from the tri-Alphas]], where he begs her to talk to "them". When she says that she will try, she goes to kiss him, only to receive a peck on the forehead. This incenses her and she angrily calls him out on not fulfilling her physical needs, angrily dismissing his excuse of steroid use causing impotency (especially given that she has just confirmed that he is cheating on her). She talks about how Dawe and Arieth still have sex, and Chad reveals that Dawe uses the birth control pill as a cheaper way to stimulate muscle growth, before revealing that he doesn't even want to stay with Sage, looking to move into a dorm instead. All of this comes back later: [[spoiler:Chad is trying to get Sage to talk to her parents Jade and Stephen; the fact that he has not been intimate with her for some time and is clearly blaming his steroid use, along with him not even asking to stay with her, as an excuse is foreshadowing for the reveal of him using Sage as TheBeard and not caring for her; and the fact that Dawe is using birth control pills plays a vital role in Arieth getting pregnant in Episode 8.]]

** Sage agreeing to have sex with the MC in Tybalt's room becomes even funnier with the Episode 8 reveal that [[spoiler:Tybalt is her hated adopted brother]].

** When Ron throws a water balloon at Derek in Episode 8, you can join Derek in getting revenge on Ron with urine-filled condoms. It gets taken further if you do this while drunk, as you'll end up splashing urine on Derek as well.

* MonochromeCasting: While it may be justifiable given that B&R is a smaller college (see WhereTheHellIsSpringfield), the cast is overwhelmingly white, including the MC, Derek, and all Main Girls (though Josy is AmbiguouslyBrown). Non-white cast members in Season 1 can be counted on one hand, with one DIK (Jacob), two [=HOTs=] (Riona and Camila), and two Pink Rose employees (Stanley and Brandi). Season 2 adds Darius, a new tri-alpha brother, and Neil's friend Luis.

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: There are many things you can do to [[TitleDrop be a dick]] to other characters in this game:
** If you bought the spicy option from Quinn's "restaurant" in Episode 1, Quinn will taunt you that Camila was close to going all the way with you. You can tell her that Camila ''did'' actually do that to get under her skin, and she'll threaten to punish Camila in Episode 3 for giving you more than what you paid for.

** One of the biggest examples of this is sharing your sex video with Jade to the [=DIKs=] to fulfill the task of sleeping with a teacher and a feminist, ignoring her warning that you absolutely do not share it with anyone else since she's cheating on Stephen by sleeping with you.

** You may have the option of punching Patrick in Episode 10 when you walk in on [[spoiler:him grabbing Maya by the wrist.]]
** If you successfully tried for something more with Josy and Maya in Episode 4 but want to pursue a relationship with Jill, Sage, or Isabella instead in Episode 8, you'll have to break up with Josy and Maya at the end of Episode 9. You spend all of Episode 9 avoiding them, as you won't have the option to take a picture with them or vote for them for the costume contest, and you don't get to talk to them while they're investigating the "murder mystery" in Rusty's room. Once you finally break up with them, Maya is understandably sad, but Josy takes the news even worse. By Episode 10, while Maya is still willing to patch things up with you after some time, Josy will coldly brush you off, still upset at your decision and wanting nothing to do with you, and both of the girls won't comment on your Clucks.

* AccidentalPervert: [[NotWhatItLooksLike A rare example where you don’t do the thing by accident, but you do it for non-perverted reasons.]] You go to the [=HOTs’=] house in Episode 1 to steal some panties so the [=DIKs=] will let you stay with them for the night. Quinn catches you in the act and calls you out for being a perv, even though she knows the [=DIKs=] and that the panty raid is part of their initiation. In fact, your interactions with Quinn always concern her judging you for your behaviour, approving of the DIK path and disapproving of the CHICK path. [[spoiler: This is likely due to her running a prostitution ring and drug enterprise and looking for more people to bring into her 'world', along with her just generally enjoying being around the player character more as a DIK.]]

** Playing without minigames enabled severely restricts the avenues for players to earn money, so not only are there more money pickups during free-roam events, but each money pickup provides 2$ instead of 1$.
** After playing the interlude once, it can be skipped, with only the major choices needing to be selected.

* DidNotDoTheBloodyResearch: When Quinn catches the MC in the HOTs' showers in Episode 1, she orders him to strip, threatening that she will tell everyone that he sneaked into their showers trying to "wank to us being naked", even though the game is set in the United States.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: All over the place, as expected. Besides the strippers' costumes ([[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin unsurprisingly]]), the most notable example is the [=HOTs=]' outfit, which combines a tiny spaghetti-strapped crop top and a very short skirt. Notably, it is lampshaded during the first [=HOTs=] party for the new sisters: Josy says that wearing it makes her feel like she's wearing nothing and Camila says that she has to wear it at night to get used to it; hilariously, fellow new sister and professional stripper Lily retorts that she would be fired for being overdressed if she wore something like it to work. It also shows up during the Dungeons and Gremlins game in "True Colors" (though the visuals for that, admittedly, are taking place in the MC's imagination) and [[SexyWhateverOutfit the Halloween party]] in "Vixens".
