[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a school with no sororities, so I am reading this thread with zero knowledge and total fascination. What does any of this have to do with college? It is such a strange thing. [/quote]

Me too. I intentionally avoided applying to schools with sororities and they sound even (much much much) worse than I even imagined. [/quote]

Well, the depictions here are not very accurate, except perhaps at Alabama or Old Miss, so I wouldn’t give much weight to them.  Typical of DCUM that people who weren’t actually in a sorority think they know everything about them.[/quote]

Exactly.  +101  I did not go to Alabama or Old Miss but I did go to a large state school where Greek life was a big part of the social scene.  Unless you live under a rock you would recognize our house.  I love all those girls and they have helped me through some of the worst and best times of my life.  Even today, 30+ years out of school, I know that I can pick up the phone, call one of my sisters and she will be here in a heartbeat.  And I would do the same for her.  It was one of the best choices I ever made to rush and I would not hesitate to encourage any girl interested to do the same.[/quote]

That’s lovely. It’s based on exclusion. You don’t seem to get that. [/quote]

[b]Oh, I get it all right.  I also don't think that everyone should get a ribbon or medal or statue just for showing up.

The concept of a sorority or fraternity is people with like interests finding each other and entering into a deeper bond.  The reality is that any single sorority or fraternity cannot accept everyone who is interested.  Fortunately there are a lot of sororities or fraternities so there are plenty of options.

I was fortunate that I found the right group for me.  I highly recommend that girls who are interested explore their options and rush.[/quote]

Yeah, they should get a medal based on how they look, what high school they went to or what camps they intended instead.

LOL.  Now you're just being silly.  The comment about a medal is a clear reference to the fact that in your generation it was common for every kid to get a medal if they belonged to a team or for every kid to get a ribbon for participating.

Again, joining a sorority or fraternity is about people with similar interests joining together for friendship.  There are so many sororities and fraternities that it is hard for me to think that there might not be a match for you.

I am sorry that you have such angst about this.  I suggest you work it out in therapy or something.  Life is too short to have such a huge chip on your shoulder.  It must make it really hard for you to get around.

I am done responding.  I just don't have the wherewithal to deal with your recalcitrance and negative mindset.  Good luck to you.  Hugs.[/quote]

It’s about people with the same backgrounds bonding over high school experiences, summer camp, vacation spots and clothes. And excluding people who aren’t like them.

You really can’t see it, can you? I mean, you honestly can’t see it.

Wow.

I mean, it's hard to face, when you think of yourself as a good person.

Just like it's hard for ppl to face that their SUV kinda sucks, when they claim to care about your kids' futures. Our lust for status really brings out the worst in us, wish we could evolve a little faster, or develop a gene editing tool to delete the cruel exclusionary tendencies. [/quote]

Oh please.[/quote]
