Why doesn't the author harass or belittle the many WOMEN'S magazines that allow potraits of waif women to seep into society so those who don't fit THAT MOLD feel more inadiquate!?
There are plenty other things that harm the mentality of women and oppress us...NOT JUST SORORITIES!
Furthermore, did she ever take a look at what good things would not be accomplished without the aide of sorority philanthropic work? How many millions of dollars wouldn't be donated to cancer research if the ZETAS didn't hold their fundraisers? How many hundreds of kids wouldn't be encouraged to read without Chi Omegas offering books and reading time to them? How many thousands of dollars wouldn't go to alziemers (sp?) research without the help of Sigma Kappa?
But we are so damn self centered I suppose we deserve that sort of BS!

Rejecting women who don't quite fit the mold is no way to uplift the status of women in general. Instead, it keeps us all down. It is, in fact, the mark of truly internalized oppression: our oppressors need no longer concern themselves with perpetuating our subjugation, because we women will take care of it ourselves.
