I’m not denying that this is the experience of people with certain groups at UVA. But it is not the case throughout the university, which is large and full of all types of students.

The people repeatedly slamming and stereotyping entire universities over the appearance of some sorority girls sound like they never left high school.

+1

Seriously. Use some basic math. Five “stereotypical” sororities with 50 pledges per year is a total of 1,000 kids.

How large are the schools you all are stereotyping? 8,000 kids? 20,000 kids? More? 🤦‍♀️

That is 25% to 10% of the women at these schools.

Yeah, but who pays attention to the people not in your orbit once you get to college?

Saying that these random pretty sorority girls who are not in your kids' social world when they go to a college of thousands or tens of thousands of students are going to ruin your daughter's college experience or saying they scarred you decades later is a very middle school approach to life.

I was a poor kid working multiple jobs at a big state flashship with a very strong and dominant greek life. I only had 3 friends my whole time there that were part of that world. One guy who hung out with my friends at the student union between classes, who I think was from the same high school as a friend. He was very involved in his frat, but was so funny, smart, and interesting. And 2 coworkers who were from the "prettiest" sorority on campus. They were gorgeous and looked the part. But they were awesome. Smart, witty, friendly and kind. Two of the nicest girls I met my entire time in college. We didn't overlap at all socially, but they both enriched my college experience. Other than that, the only greeks I knew were people I casually knew from classes, where we had enough shared degree interest to make small talk or discuss the classwork.

Who judges people like this based on their grooming practices and hair color? You are missing out on some great people and experiences by stereotyping these young women like you are still in middle school.

You just wrote that there was a pretty sorority. They judged other girls and only accepted who they determined were attractive

Did these gorgeous girls ever invite you to a party or to hang out after work?

Why, yes they did. I was neither as made up as them nor did I dress as well, because I was poor. But I had a serious boyfriend and preferred to hang out with him over going to parties.

How shallow are you people for fixating so much on the physical appearance and hair color of older teens and young adults that are not part of your life?

We went to the Georgetown vs Maryland lacrosse game last weekend. At halftime they showed a commercial about Georgetown and there were lots of images of Catholic priests. Seemed like they were playing up the Catholic aspect. But from what I hear, when you're actually at Georgetown it's barely Catholic at all (unless you actively seek it out).

Georgetown's chief religion is wokeness.

Well, the Jesuits were indeed woke before it was even called woke.
