I have a question for 33girl, AlphaChiGirl and anyone else who's wondering what's up with Rhoyal22India. Before you wrote your responses to Rhoyal22India, did you stop to think maybe this is nowhere near true for her sorority experience? (rehetorical question) I mean, a couple of you have already said it "rings true." That may be the reason Rhoyal22India responded the way she did is because the satire is nowhere near her sorority experience. To be honest, if I did not read the earlier posts asking if anyone had this "joke," I would have responded the same way she did. In order for satire to be funny, one has to have an understanding of the thing or idea being satired. That's why everyone does not get political humor, because not everyone (unfortunately) is current with what's happening on the Hill. It's also why not everyone catches all the jokes in South Park.

After I read the "joke," I asked myself why it's funny. I couldn't come up with an answer because my sorority experience, and I'll bet the sorority experience of every NPHC Sorority member on this board, is very different from what this joke is satiring.
