[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Greek life sounds like a nightmare for 18 year olds. It's baffling that it still persists.[/quote]

It’s like going back in time for some of these Southern sororities.  Sexism like it’s 1950.   Females cannot have men in their bedrooms but fraternities can.   Females have to be dressed appropriately with hair and makeup and they are very picky about what makeup you can and can’t use.  Pink nail polish .  Sororities cannot have parties in their house with alcohol without joining up with a fraternity.

I can’t imagine following silly rules and regulations after finally getting some freedom. The fraternities and sororities segregate the school into mini campuses unrelated to each other. [/quote]

[b]My daughter told me that at her school the sorority girls clean the fraternity houses.  B[/b]ig nope for me!  Why would we teach young men that women are their cooking and cleaning servants?  We worked so hard to get away from that stereotype![/quote]

I don’t believe this!  The girls don’t even clean their own houses- there is help for that.  This sounds like a rumor started by a GDI to make Greeks look bad.[/quote]

My kid is at Elon and that is what she was told by a girl she is casual friends with who is in one of the sororities.  I found it shocking.

They also have some beach tradition where a guy invites a girl to a weekend and he pays for the hotel (the assumption is they will have sex) and she decorates a cooler for him (rotate to the beach, presumably).  It seemed odd to me.[/quote]
