when we focus on stereotypes-- "those pretty girls of XYZ" or the "devestating ladies of ABC" we by default have not only bought into a stereotype, but have helped to propel it into further existence; as members of the divine 9, we should be all about tearing down ANY stereotypes or ANY assumption that tears down another sister or brother OR that prevents people from seeing what we ARE REALLY ABOUT. now...
i'm not a hater nor is it my attempt to throw salt in anyone's game, but to ask who is the finest sorority(or fraternity, for that matter) is sophomoric and short-sided simply because we should all be intelligent enough to know that EVERY organization has people who are attractive to a greater or lesser degree-- Zeta Phi Beta and my Sigma Gamma Rho have LOTS of pretty ladies and if you don't believe me, look at the lambda rho(SGRho) webpage. much to the same accord, being a member of another sorority doesn't make you fine.
all of our orgs. are HETEROGENOUS--meaing that we are different types of types, or at least we should be. if we would stop asking questions like who is the finest or the prettiest and instead asked the much more profound questions like who does community service, who has the most heart, who is the most dedicated, who is the most GENUINE, who has the most character, who is a LADY in word and deed, who knows how to treat their brother or sister, and who truly EXEMPLIFIES the vision of the founders-- if we started asking questions like that-- we will have found the FINEST BEAUTY that NEVER FADES.
take a deeper look. and a second glance.
and for the record, being fine has nothing to with letters, but EVERYTHING to do with genetics. let's stop tripping.
