I’ve come to the conclusion that a scuttling of legacy policies would have been received with far less acrimony if it had been explained that after 150 years of sorority membership, there were so many legacies coming through some chapters that the actives had no agency as far as being able to choose women other than legacies. I think everyone would have related to that, sympathized and understood and been supportive of a change. Instead it’s turned into a big virtue signalling moment to the point that some women in those threads actually APOLOGIZED FOR THEIR MEMBERSHIP. It makes it sound like the only thing holding back sororities from being bastions of diversity were these antiquated policies. (Psssst: there’s lots more than that.)

The chapters whose members are diverse in race, sexual orientation, physical appearance and economic status will continue to be so, and those that are homogeneous will continue to be so. The only thing that will change is who will be the new superstar as far as national headquarters and chapter awards are concerned.

33, you have made some fine posts!
