I don't think she was trying to generate a massive paradigm shift WRT sororities and their perceived behavior. I think she was just making an observation. But...

:) Good for her and I thank Senusret for sharing her observation.

Why pick us? :confused:

Because that was the first NPC sorority that popped into my head at that moment. I wasn't trying to say anything about Chi Omega specifically (hence, my ".., say, Chi Omega...")

And if an uninformed GDI came to GC (or in real life) to say that he/she thought (insert stereotype) until hanging out with members of a specific GLO, I'd say "WOMP WOMP @ you believing stereotypes. That's great that you learned something, if you interact more with GLOs you will learn both good and bad things."

Yup.

The trouble is that so few people actually interact with sororities even on a superficial level, so it's so so easy to have the Legally Blonde stereotype in one's head.

I also think that in some ways, sororities (of all kinds) don't make it easy for people to interact with them. Whether it's poor public relations, insularity, size, or poor devotion to lifetime commitment.

Why does it matter if you were the only one who reacted that way or not? Several people can be wrong at once. lol

The point of the article is

1. I thought sororities acted like this
2. I met some sorority women who didn't act like this
3. Because of these women, I changed the way I think of sororities

Exactly. I mean, I don't know this woman, but if you were even a very well educated person from a school without a Greek system, you may (and probably do) have certain stereotypes about Greek life. I don't think anything is wrong with someone owning up to their ignorance and highlighting an UP AND COMING NATIONAL GLO.

"Not your typical sorority" is a horrible title for what was intended to be a positive blog entry.

Agreed. Maybe that's why I missed where she said she revised her opinion of sororities -- the title was drowning it out.

I would agree with that.
