I think that ultimately you and I are on the same page -- I don't think there's anything wrong with a girl who joins a sorority to meet fraternity men -- as long as she doesn't slack on the other obligations of membership (financial, academic, being a good sister, whatever)...

Basically, we are. This is part of my original response to her post:

We just have slightly different views on what constitues "social" opportunities.

First we all need to make sure we all have the same understanding of the term "social." To me personally, social would include mixers, date parties, formals, dinner exchanges -- things you do with other fraternities/sororities. And yes, these are important aspects of membership.
I associate hanging out in pjs watching Laguna Beach or going to DQ or Target as aspects of sisterhood rather than social opportunities. I think that's why we're getting so much hostility--people define "social" as only those mixer-type events.
