I mean, I know when I was in school, the biggest sorority had like 150 members and the biggest fraternity had 80. But the sorority with 80 members was considered struggling. The fraternity with 30 guys wasn't considered struggling. If the sorority with 150 members had a social with the guys in the 80 member house-that is still weird. So telling me that people won't have socials with you or whatever if you are smaller is silly. The men's groups tend to be smaller in general because there is always more of them. I forgot what my point was. I have to take my medication now....

AMEN TO THAT!

One of the sorority chapters here decided that they were going to take a more diverse group of women. While they are still one of the biggest, the rumors going around are that they've gotten worse as a chapter. Totally untrue. They just have a more diverse group of women rather than the barbie-dolls that they used to have.

Yet, our fraternities consist of 5 "southern" fraternities, 3 "northern" fraternities, a fraternity for the political type guys, a Christian fraternity (also known as the fraternity that doesn't haze), a diverse all around fraternity (the pin-up party guys and the smart intellectual guys), and one fraternity that is known as the fraternity for guys who couldn't get into a fraternity (but that one's quickly improving). You can't really number the fraternities from best to worst. I mean, everyone has their own opinions as to who is number one, but with the sororities, it's pretty clear. It just disgusts me that there's no diversity in our greek system, and the sororities who try to be diverse ultimately fail and close.

All right, there's my vent for the day.
