having to explain to SEVERAL high school aged girls that the sigmas are NOT like a real sisterhood
that we do NOT ask our rushees if they are Jewish or put ANY weight on your religious status.
that we do NOT all freak with our sisters at clubs
that we do NOT speak about our sisters the way those disrespectful new members do
gosh....i work at a camp and all of my junior counselors are in high school or going into college....they ALL come to me and say "i can't believe you were in a sorority...my mom watched it and said she would never allow me to join one...i didn't know you had to be jewish to get in...i can't believe they talk about each other the way they do...." i could go on and on and on about what they think about sorority life.

ME TOO, SISTER CASH! ME TOO!!
Being a new chapter co-advisor (new advisor - not new chapter) I have heard from MANY of our collegians about how to handle this situation. And I have heard from MANY prospectives who say "My mom watched that show with me and she won't let me go greek now" or worse... "I watched that show and I don't WANT to go greek" -- UGH!!!
And Bama Alum -- you go with the "momma-ism" -- cause my momma said it too....dirty laundry should STAY in the laundry room.
Oh - and as for the EDITING stuff -- I'm sorry, how did MTV make it appear as though that girl smacked her pledge sister?!
Oh, let me guess...its another CONSPIRACY, right?!
Like I said in another thread -- RESPECT is the name of the game. I never said that my chapter (undergrad or advising) is perfect, but we DON'T condone violence...PERIOD!! If you came from a chapter where pledge sisters were hitting each other, then there is something SERIOUSLY wrong!
You lie down with dogs and you'll get up with FLEAS!
