Same. I think it might be more important to certain knds of moms who are living vicariously. ![]() |
No, greek life is for morons. The whole buying your friends thing, hazing, etc is utterly ridiculous. I went to UF the amount of back stabbing at Chi O house or Kappas or Tri Delt etc why in the world would anyone want their kid involved in this crap? Rapes at frats were standard, books about who was the best at sex etc. Books about women in general from the frats common knowledge. And paying for your kid to have "friends" nope. |
Why are you reactivating an old thread? |
What are the “top tier”sororities at UVA?? |
Two weeks old is not an "old thread." DP |
+1 Yeah but the moms are really into it, and they think it "helps" their daughters, without knowing what people really think about the whole situation, and without knowing the unwritten history about greek life. |
Did a pledge hit his head last night and get hurt???? |
Or alcohol poisoning? |
Is he dead? |
I was greek (sorority) and have a middling view of it. But, there was zero hazing among sororities (can't say the same about frats). Frats were pretty misogynistic, also, I agree. Though more prevalent in certain houses. Having said that, sororities are no different than any other group. Yes, you "pay dues" but that is to support the house and activities. Green club, intramurals, and other clubs also have fees (just less so) and provide a way to associate with like-minded people. You're still "buying" friends, just not at the price tag. So that is a wholly idiotic, and not terribly original, slur. |
I heard this ![]() Very much hope he is okay. |
