I am pretty sure that almost any national panhellenic chapter would revoke the membership of a woman who posed...the bottom line is this---whatever your personal beliefs about nudity/pornography/etc. generally speaking GLOs have in their purposes and mission extremely high standards of behavior/self respect/yadda yadda. Posing nude for a men's magazine just doesn't fit that mold. We had a situation when I was an active similar to this. One of the local dance clubs had an all-female revue (I believe it was topless) one or two nights a week, and there were t-shirts of each of the girls so guys could wear their favorite. There was quite a bit of promotion. One of our girls auditioned, and she certainly had the looks for it (most of our members did!!!) She was beautiful, long dark curly hair, pale blue eyes, dark complexion, great body----she probably would have made a lot of money, and she wanted to do it. But when the chapter found out it was uncertain how we should handle it. We took it to a higher level and were told she had to make her choice----Chi O or the dance revue. Thank goodness she chose Chi O....but this was just one example of this kind of case.

DON'T DO IT! It's not worth it in the long run! It compromises the integrity of being a Greek and contributes to the degradation and opression of women!!!

Didn't Playboy do a sorority girls special a few years ago? Did all of those girls get kicked out?

LOL Iowa. I had read the same thing on AOL tonight. I wasn't sure if I should post it or not http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/confused.gif.

Amber's an alumna of the Westminster College chapter, so she hasn't been a collegian since Spring 2000. In the article she makes some good points about how she "didn't want to be another Darva Conger and say no..then do it" and "wanting to see how much she's worth".

I don't know our policy regarding posing nude. I also don't know Amber's status in the Fraternity (i.e. if she's an active alum with the Junior Circle).

The key word now is CONSIDERING , and judging from what her friends have said about what kind of person she is, I'm sure she'll consider all sides (including AGD) before she decides to do anything.

Re: Playboy Magazine
 

could you email me some of the pics?

Re: Re: Playboy Magazine
 

No, but I can email you a pic of me! :D

I feel that it is your decision and what ever you choose you need to be able to face the concequences. I will leave you with a great saying that my big told me, and that Ive told my family...

(Assume your name is Amy and you are a XYZ)

Once you join a sorority, you are no longer just Amy, you are Amy the XYZ.

Basically saying that people know you by your sorority, and even if you dont mention it, and use a fake name, people are going to know its you and what affiliation you have.

Be Careful!!

And about Amber from Survivor... I live in Pittsburgh, and so does she (of course) and this one radio station always tried to call her when she first got kicked off... they had long talks with Ambers Dad! So this is going to be a big to do here!

Amber doesn't live in the state of PA anymore.

As far as I know, Amber's posing for Playboy was just an errant rumor and it's not going to happen. Playboy seems to like to feature the "girl of the moment" and Amber's initial 15 minutes of fame seem to have wound down. She did, however, appear in "Stuff" magazine a few months back. She looked beautiful and the pictures were tasteful (i.e. clothed!).

There have been sorority women from my school who posed in Playboy and they used fake names. However, they were easily recognizable 'cause, DUH!, they don't cover your face!!!! You will be noticed! I saw it myself and nearly fainted.

Anyway, the people in question were not active in their chapters at the time and so I don't know if any action was taken. If they were made to resign their membership nobody would have noticed since they hadn't been seen around campus a lot. I was panhellenic VP then, so I know there was no panhel stance on it other than "Holy crap, come look at this! Ha ha! It's so and so!". I don't their national even knew it was them.

I would advise against posing in Playboy. Unless you plan on giving your sisters the money to pay them for the suffering they will endure when the word gets out, then you are only going to be taking money while causing your sorority grief.

Just my opinion though. It's up to you.

well, stop and think for a second and ask yourself WHY you want to even consider posing for playboy? because you want to break into modeling or acting? if thats the case i would suggest something a little classier...and less revealing unless you want to start a career in soft core porn. do you want to do it because it would just be fun and a great experience? if thats the case, weigh it against what you already have - being a member of your sorority, having a good relationship with your family, school, and friends. personally, i dont care...playboy is a tasteful magazine compared to most...but its still a nudy magazine. i would have a harder time trying explain my decision to my parents and sisters than taking my clothes off in front of a camera just for the experience.
