I'll say it once again....sororities really need to stop using this "member experience" buzz-phrasing. It's patronizing and infuriating.

You can just envision the tight little mouth when that line is being stated....

Math girl is confused.... IP's thread says that total is around 70. The article says 6 members were dismissed and also stated "half the members were dismissed". 70/2≠6. Not even close.

Just reading between the lines, I'd guess 6 members were terminated, and those 6 disgruntled women burned their sorority paraphernalia rather than turn those things in.

That's my alma mater, I still have connections up there and what I heard was that it was the chapter leaders that were dismissed, not half the chapter, for violation of a national policy or policies. The girls then burned their letters in protest of the dismissal.

Ahem. In this case the person said,

“the premier member experience.”

Not just any ol’ membership experience, mind you. Premier.

Give it some time. Shouldn't be too long before a replacement "buzz-phrase" takes Greek life by storm.
