I also find it beyond ridiculous to present the Ivy League as the only place where "non stereotypical" sorority chapters exist. As if anywhere else, the students aren't smart enough for that to happen.
Same shit, different day. Kind of depressing that the "paper of record" would fall for this tripe.

I totally agree. I can't speak for anyone else's sorority experience, but I went to a big, non-Ivy, which happens to be a pretty good school, thank you, and I don't think we were a bunch of "stereotypical" sorority women. I also wonder what people think when they learn that women like Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Condoleeza Rice were in sororities. Do they think women like that would be in organizations that would tell them to wear makeup or look a certain way?
I also think it's ironic that the chapter they focused on was recently in trouble for what many people might call "stereotypical" Greek behavior (but they don't mention that at all).

It's a typical NYTimes "Sunday Styles" front page story. Not much there there. The comments section is more entertaining that the actual article.
