Hm . . . I'll strap on the letters in my handle, and step on out I guess - just a few quick points:
-It is perfectly understandable to talk about the show's impact on greek life, and greek stereotypes - that affects everyone here directly. It is NOT understandable to judge these people. Comments about hair, make-up, clothing - how do these impact the show's effects on greek life? Past this, if negative nicknames are examples of promoting bad stereotypes . . . well do the math. Plus - for all the "THIS SHOW IS RUINING RUSH!!!" comments I read, I don't see but maybe one post addressing how to positively impart change . . . I can guarantee you that Sorority Life will not hurt my rush, I couldn't give a damn for that particular point (and how it relates to Jordan's make-up).
-We'll all admit that this was, most likely, a mistake on the part of the SigmaAEPi sorority (IN OUR OPINIONS) . . . but this doesn't allow soapboxing, or give us a position of moral superiority from which statements (or judgements) directed at people can be aimed, does it? Better yet, doesn't this sort of action just absolutely smack of ironic hypocrisy?
-If any of you have a Gamma Chi in your signiture or recent past, it doesn't work (to me) to talk shit about the Sigma AEPi sorority, or individual sisters. Talk about the show, etc - but it's antithetical to act as such toward another GLO, right? I didn't jump on that boat, to be correct, but I think that was the point of the endeavor, no?
To me, it seems that most of the responses don't read any of the opposition view's writings, so I guess since I'm not on either side mine probably will go unread - but that's OK. Discussion like this can be very very good, an intrepid quest for understanding - however, degenerating into jawing and catty quibbling quickly becomes "RETARTED"
