I wonder if it speaks more to the relevance of college. It seems like #1 most of the youngin's are entertainers whereas with the Legends there was a mix of entertainers with political activists, authors, politicians, etc, and #2 more people are entering the entertainment business at a young age and forgoing college. Perhaps it isn't that these women aren't opting not to 'go greek', but rather, aren't in situations where joining a BGLO is an option. I wonder if we view the legends of tomorrow (say 50 years from now) if the list will have expanded to include women other than entertainers who's full impact/potential has not yet been realized. Perhaps it will include current politicians, activists, authors, playwrights, directors, business women, etc. who will have gone to college and therefore may have some greek affiliation.
