Well...

...I don't think anyone who pictures herself as "the typical sorority girl" will post here and say, why yes I AM the typical sorority girl

Personally I think whether we admit it or not...we all have some sort of stereotype in mind -- Legally Blond? Animal House? Otherwise how can we say we are NOT a typical sorority girl?

There are some who say they aren't typical but they actually fit the "mold" pretty closely...and then there are those who, no matter which way you cut it, are not even close to being sterotypical! That would have been me -- as an ROTC cadet in the mid 1970s at a liberal southern California university going thru rush, I was as far from being a typical sorority girl as Tom Hanks! Even during my 22 year Air Force career, I had many colleagues, commanders and subordinates express surprise -- almost bordering on shock -- when they found out I was in a sorority! For some reason, even though I am retired, I still get that stupefied reaction nowadays

I recall my late grandmother one day tsk-tsking my youngest sister about sororities and I could tell she really had the stereotypical sororoity girl in her mind...it wasn't until I pointed out to her that her favorite author -- Pearl Buck -- was in a sorority that she started softening up!
