Alpha Phi's video was uploaded Aug 7

Other chapter's who 2015 is also currently visible on you tube
Zeta - July 26
Gamma Phi - July 30th - time lapse of house construction (not recruitment but a video with marketing intent)
Chi Omega - Aug 2
Delta Gamma - Aug 4 (it is a video of their winning Greek Sign performance but since the event occurred in March I think it was posted now for marketing purposes)
Pi Phi - Aug 5
AXO - Aug 7
ADPi - Aug 7
Phi Mu - Aug 9
Delta Zeta - Aug 9

That is 10 chapters (8 depending on how you consider Gamma Phi & DG) that I found quickly searching You Tube.

I did not go to Bama, nor have I ever worked with the chapter there.

Hartsofsec, why do you like to look down on others and judge them as being inferior to you and your perceived moral high ground?

I didn't check them all -- but that's no more than 7 since Gamma Phi, DG, and Alpha Chi are of other (actual) events.

I don't have a problem with sororities marketing themselves -- there are plenty of vids of events, houses, bid days, etc. I don't care when these are uploaded. But anything approaching what Alpha Phi uploaded for "recruitment" is not the campus norm.

Or is it the jumping up and down and movement of their breasts?

What EXACTLY are the negative stereotype that you perceive here?

Here are a few other videos from campuses and other sororities, that have much of the same aspects.

^That one is relevant to this campus.



I just don't consider that much of an explanation or defense -- tu quoque fallacy.

Featuring SOME women who are blonde doesn't equal racism or discrimination. However, it would seem to me that you are very happy jumping to conclusions and judging these women on three minutes of video you saw on YouTube.
