[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]any discussion of greek life always devolves into this type of argument on this board. the fact is that if you talk to the girls in sororities they are generally happy with the experience, and they are also welcome to drop out at any time if they are not. Its a social club, why do we have to assign any more meaning to it than that? If the girls find their "home" great, if its not for them,, great. Why grown women (and possibly men) on this board care one way or the other, I simply don't understand.[/quote]

It’s a social club that - up front - excludes people based on background, connections and looks. Fold in the hidden classism, racism, ableism. Yes, this is human nature but not a particularly admirable side of human nature. Why would that be acceptable?[/quote]

As a society we try to change things that are wrong.  We no longer have slavery; it's now illegal to discriminate based on race, sex, a whole list of things, when applying for a job.  Women can vote; women can have their own credit cards and hold jobs.  We try to make society a better place to live in (we still have a long way to go on most of these things).  [/quote]

but what if women who are in them (and even those who are not), don't consider them wrong and enjoy them? You speak for yourself when you say it's "wrong".[/quote]

Well of course. The people benefitting from the system like the system. 🙄 They’re not the ones paying the social cost of being excluded. [/quote]
