If we were judged by our behavior in college, everyone would be critical of us, too. The women on these boards who are so hard on the pledges were obviously the "bully actives" in their sororities - your insecurities are very transparent.
It's easy to judge people and make hypocritical statements when you are so far removed the situation. Casual judgements and sweeping generalizations are the attidutes that give sorority women a bad name. If you were a senior in high school, would you want to join a chapter if you read some of the statements on this board, I wouldn't.

Oh please. As much as I defend Jordan and other people who I feel are being uneccessarily picked on, I get so tired of these comments. No one on GC has voluntarily allowed their lives to be taped, no. But when you sign up for an MTV reality show, best be prepared for what ensues! Now do I agree with all of the cattyness? No. But I also don't think that just because these girls signed up for a freaking MTV "REALITY" show VOLUNTARILY that we should automatically bow our heads in sympathy when the inevitable happens. I mean it is on national TV, it is fodder for discussion. I agree with you about the judgment part, but the overall tone of your post is like, "don't talk mean about them! It is not the pledge's fault they tried to get into a sorority to get some airtime on MTV!" Except it totally is. And "no, don't say mean things about Sigma! They didn't try to make Greek Life look bad to everyone not familiar with it!" Except they totally did.
Again, don't get me wrong. I was one of the main people on the millions of other SL threads telling people to not be so catty and judgmental. But I really don't think this particular thread has crossed that line. Get over it.
