But the reason is UNTRUE. That's what everyone is trying to get across. I am a member of a sorority and no men had anything to do with our founding.
Just because ZTA didn't want to get confused with the Hampden Sydney groupie sorority or whoever the heck they were, does not mean that EVERY group called a sorority had men involved in any way in their creation. It's like if a brothel were called the "Majorette Manor" and the girls called themselves "majorettes" and the real baton-twiriling majorettes in the area decided to call themselves "Twirl Squad" to avoid confusion. It doesn't mean all majorettes are hookers just because that ONE group decided to not use the word.
Thanks a hell of a lot GroovePhi62 for taking us down this path for the umpteenth time, bwah.
