Seriously. This is absurd. No one in real life loves Greek life as much as these people claim to. The astroturfing on DCUM is getting out of control.

And the people that hate Greek life would know this how? Sorry to disappoint, I’m a real person who had a great time as a member of a sorority and hope my daughter chooses to rush as well.

It’s just seen as terribly gauche. The equivalent to someone who, 30 years later, continues to brag about having been a cheerleader in middle school as if it were the highlight of their life. And that’s a generous comparison — a less generous comparison would be someone who’s just very proud of being a member of the KKK. I’m sure 70 years ago, it was all the rage, too.

You cannot be serious. Get a grip. Wow.

Bless your heart. It’s on the other side too it’s just delivered in an underhanded way.

DP. Wrong. I was curious about sororities, having never been in one, and your unhinged and vitriol-laced posts are making me think sororities sound pretty good. I'd hate to be in any kind of activity with someone like you.

You’re replying to the wrong person, Lindsey.

Right. The Japanese drink themselves brain dead after getting into University and my Oxford kid (UVA) says the drinking at Oxford fatr exceeds anything he ever saw in the States. But if course you know better. …because, why? Oh and let’s talk about the German students at Bier-gardens while we are at ot.

Personally, as the parent of a cancer survivor who received treatment from St. Jude (that did not cost us a cent) I am grateful for the over $84 million that has been raised for the hospital by the Tri Delta sorority.

You do realize that the KKK was directly inspired by Greek life. Right?

This. Americans who constantly hold out Brits and Europeans as somehow "classier" than their American counterparts are beyond ignorant. HUGE trashy underbelly in all of those countries.

Not really. All one has to do is read this thread and see who is posting the most hateful posts. It's not the pro-sorority camp.

Ha. She probably read that the KKK started as a "fraternal" social club and thinks the word fraternal means college Greek Life.

You do realize that anyone trying to make a comparison between Greek life and the KKK needs a good therapist. Right?
