Here is the problem. "Those chapters" do not do a good job of weeding out the girls who are in it for the wrong reasons because a great number of them started in their chapter for those same wrong reasons. This is exactly why this 30 year battle has been on going. It is so interesting to me, as many have said, that the article is not universally flattering. If you hold an actual copy the magazine in your hand, you will find out milk was 25 cents a gallon. Yet, people who continue to use it as a guide for UT recruitment don't see the irony in that. I think the fashion guide that accompanied that article did more harm than the actually article. It stressed the way girls dressed, the cars in the parking lots, etc. It made it completely materialistic. It pitted house against house with terms like "bless her heart...she never will be"...the death kiss of southern culture.
