i grew up with my mom calling the sorority women that came into the bagel shop she worked in on the UT campus not so nice names.

and when i told her i was going through rush she called me one too. she's lightened up a bit though, after ive told her about some things. now she doesn't use that awful term and she actually wears an adpi mom shirt.

dad grew up with very greek parents, so he's always been cool with it.

they were both raised in the 60/70s and my mom and i were talking about it one time and she said "yknow its the time when we were raised, and it was a time when that was kind of looked down upon, and i was conditioned to think that the people who joined were all spoiled brats that had their daddies pay for everything."
so i agree that for some people it has to do a lot with their generation.
