I think it's a little ignorant to think that every Sounthern, beauty pageant-type PNM is only interested in NPC sorority life to get drunk and meet boys.  |
Jeni never said anything about getting drunk or meeting boys. I think everyone knows you can do that without joining a sorority. That's not the point ... look, I am a Southern white girl. I do "Southern" things, like listen to country music and drink JD and dress kinda preppy. I'm from a "good" area with a "good" family. And yes, I can speak English and I do have proper hygiene, etc., etc.
I didn't even consider going to NPC Rush - didn't interest me at all. When I found out later there were other kinds of sororities, that's when I became interested in joining a sorority. I don't have anything against the NPC groups, but they aren't for me. What I want in a sorority just doesn't line up with that. With OPhiA and with DST, it does. When I first started learning about Delta, it was shocking - it just fit so well with my values. There are different organizations for different people and personalities. No one's insulting anyone else's by choosing a different path - even if it's not the one they "should" have picked.
