i'd rather just blend in and keep my opinion/voice anonymous b/c then if u see me on campus that'd suck

Umm on behalf of people from Alabama I'm going to have to say that the girls are not prudes...they just aren't your everyday whore that you are looking for. :mad:

And that's it in a nutshell.

Hooking up is different from dating and making someone your girlfriend. In fact, most girls eventually learn that the surest way to NOT make a guy your boyfriend is to hook up with him. And sororities don't like to be known as the "slut" house; my friend's alma mater has a saying about the sororities on campus: (GLOs remain anonymous) "F*#$ a ABC, date a DEF, marry a XYZ." No one wants to be that used, or to be labeled as a "slut" through association.

so who wants to explain the points thing?

A lot of NPC sororities use a point system to ensure attendance at events and require a certain amount of points a semester - like a mixer with AKL is 10 pts, Homecoming pageant is 5 pts, etc. Here's some other threads:

i just want to take a minute to thank everyone who replied to this post.

it has helped me better understand the university of alabama.


now that we've clarified some things it has made me a much happier person I.E.

1. if u go the game with a girl...and nothing comes of it...its not personal she just needed her points and u just had to have a date anyway. also she might have a boyfriend

2. if u meet a girl at a mixer and she's not really feeling u....well she might have a bf and might actually be dead tired but has to come to get the points

3. we hold respect, pride, tradition, and values here at the univ of alabama and we stand above all the other universities where the girls compromise their morals for a little fun. our girls are classy.


rolllllllllll tiiiiidddeeee roooolllll!


thanks again!

Dude...seriously...get off the points thing. The point system has little to nothing to do with what you are trying to convety. If a girl doesn't go home with you she doesn't want to plain and simple. If she goes to an event and doesn't go home with you...she doesn't want you.

And stop all the damn Roll Tide mess. It really makes you seem immature.

A) dude, i'll be happy to stop with the roll tides if it bothers you.

B) you dont understand...its about the image of the sorority...if they go home with you their sorority will be labeled as slutty. plus i asked one girl and she said that the girls in the sorority told her NOT to go into a guys room in case something goes on. its imp. for the sororities to keep their image.

Okay? Whats wrong with a sorority wanting to keep up a good image? You are aware of the stereotype that comes along with being in a sorority right? Hell, you know how women in general are viewed if they are seen going around with random guys. I say good for them.

samjones, maybe you need to get some counseling in order to deal with these things. You're blaming the sororities for the girls rejection of you. Maybe you smell. Maybe you're rude. Maybe you skeeve them out. Maybe you're a jerk. The girls aren't required to date you, and you're not entitled to a date with them. Honestly, if any girl heard this rant of yours, I'm sure she would be quite hesitant to date you. It's freaky and weirdly obsessive. Perhaps there's some sort of escort service out there that caters to guys with sorority girl fetishes.

About the points/swap thing ... I know many chapters have DDs that drive the girls to the swap, and they are required to go back to the sorority house afterward with their DDs.

So even if a girl was really into you, she would have to jump through a lot of hoops to get back with you later in the night .. and ya know what? That's just not classy at all.

Ohh ohh, I wanna play.

I believe it was kd / ddd / kat

Whoo hoooo Animate! You rock!!:p

i totally agree! its not classy and does not live up to the tradition and values we hold in the south.

For the record...not all the sororities use a points system. So, you have no way of knowing whether they are there for the points or not. So, maybe they don't have to gather points. Maybe they are there to have fun with their sisters. And just maybe, they just don't want anything to do with you.
