Sometimes I just want to hang out with my girl friends so that we can scout out cute boys and talk about our boyfriends/crushes/etc.
The way she presented was done in poor taste, but I don't know if this is an act of hate - maybe she just wants to find friends she has more in common with and can go meet boys with? Since she talks about having socials with men and finding people she has more in common with, I'm not sure if I see this as an act of hate or a way to try to deliberately exclude anyone.
I don't know. I'm trying to give the girl the benefit of the doubt and not automatically conclude that she hates homosexuals, but maybe she does.

This girl HAS to be a freshman (or transfer). There's NO WAY she could have been there more than a year and not known the culture of not only this particular school, but also the city of Northampton (and the Pioneer Valley, but more extreme in Northampton). She likely didn't realize what she was getting in to, but a traditional sorority would never ever be accepted. Trying to get together a group for the sake of grouping straight women would be futile. This girl would also get some STRANGE looks for anything lilly on campus. People would look at me skeptically whenever I wore letters in Northampton.... but lilly and letters on campus? never.
Anyone else here know the Smith college campus well enough to understand where I'm coming from and maybe can phrase it in a politically correct way?
