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]

Condescension is not helping.[/quote]

Triggered much? The truth hurts.[/quote]

The mean SJW.[/quote]

SJW really just means “giving a sh*t about people besides yourself.”

I’d love to know the stats on LGBTQ, disabled, poor, fat, physically scared (I.e. burn victims) and first generation students in rush. [/quote]

I was a poor, fat college student going though rush 40 years ago at a big state school. I went through rush on a lark, just to see how the upper echelon lived.

But I ended up with a bid from one of the largest, oldest sororities in the country. It ended up being one of the greatest experiences of my life. I have close friendships still with several of the women. One is my BFF.

The networking from the group has helped me throughout my career. I am still an active alumnae.

Forty years ago, didn’t most sororities discriminate on the basis of race?[/quote]

NP. Yes.[/quote]

Not old enough to speak to 40 years ago but there were definitely people of color, as well as international students, in my sorority 30 years ago.  Also a few girls that were what we now call first gen, although cost is probably a disincentive.  It was hard then for the historically  white sororities to compete with the appeal of the historically black sororities.

Much of this thread seems to be dominated by [b]one mom who was fine with her daughter rushing until she didn’t get her preferred house.  [/b]Consequently the whole system most go down, apparently.[/quote]

No one has said that at all. Not even close. You’re making assumptions and hearing what you want to hear. [/quote]

Come on, it is completely obvious.[/quote]
