I think that's the point of it. You're Greek, so you understand that we're "just like everyone else." Most people don't understand that.

Instead of seeing a bunch of beautiful, spoiled girls, she saw the actual women behind the letters. I'd love to see the whole exhibit.
Ditto. I think my favorite image (of the few I've seen) is the main one that's highlighted in the article. The SK is laying in what normally might be perceived as a "sexy" pose, but she's in shorts, a Sigma Kappa t-shirt, and running shoes. Right above her on the wall is a composite, with all the young women dressed the same. That image alone says a lot, IMO, about perception vs. reality, and how sorority girls can "pull a 180" between recruitment and everything other day of the year.
