On top of sounding bitter and whiny, she's a pretty terrible writer. Here are a few gems that made me go "Whaaa..?"
"The colors of AKA, pink and green, have been in my wardrobe in some faction of silhouette, design, custom made dress or from off the rack for as long as I can remember."
"You would think that with all the experience, knowledge and sacrifice one's parent has done for the action or cause of the sorority that I'd be a shoe -in."
"There were words of encouragement from my brother. His criticism of the Greeks, meant as comfort went along the lines that he was "glad I'd not be joining the cult and that my day to be a snob would have to wait." He actually has harsher things to say about all Greek organizations not only on this campus but those of national prominence citing class, privilege and snobbery. He is nicest to this one due to the number of women who belong to it from our family."
"I'm finding that perhaps some lines that are drawn to keep someone out include the same line I'm trying to cross."
"Is it all about turning papers in on a date despite the date being vague- dates that forced an individual get everything needed done now or never- one time only?"
"So are sororities a social class privilege designed only for those deemed the fairest of them all bent on being better than this sorority or that one? Is it as pervasive as Spike Lee points out in his cult classic film, School Daze 1988, where we all need to wake up from the delusion that it is not?"
"I mean, would other legacies' or founding members' children face this type of hardship?"
(Yes, they would. They do.)
