As for the jap comments you made, I figure that if you just don't like that little sub-culture, then you should remember you are not a part of it. People are free to act in a certain manner among themselves. This might seem obnoxious or bother a lot of people, but then again I'm sure that group you judge has a word or two to say about you and your judgements. Oh and you really don't realize just how offensive that word can be until you leave the NY area - specially if someone who isn't Jewish uses it.

What is wrong with NY girls? BTW anyone over 18 is not a girl, but a woman.
I thought/hoped that the whole JAP acronym had disappeared completely because of the hostility it contains towards Jewish women. I can say that acronym was frowned upon over a decade ago when I was in college in upstate NY. It is a slur.

Rudey, I agree with most of your post. At my college, I know many women in SDT and AEPhi are Christians. There were also Jewish women in all of the sororities not just SDT and AEPhi, some of whom were Kosher and stayed home on Friday nights in order to observe the Sabbath. The sororities respected that and accomodated them. There were no sorority houses so Kosher kitchens weren't an issue, but they had formals at facilities that were kosher.
