To me, this isn't the concern of whether this is freewill, socially acceptable, or whatever... To me, this is a concern of standards and how we are promoting the greek community. Yes, you can leaf through Maxim and see the same thing, but when girls posed for the College Girl issue of Playboy, they were promptly kicked out of the sorority. I think it's bad enough that there is a clear thought across campus that sorority girls are drunken sluts who conform to whatever someone tells them to conform to, but do we have to feed this thought? And, do we have to feed the thought that "frat guys" are nothing but drunken apes who treat women like crap? I mean, it's bad enough that sororities and fraternities alike have people in their chapters that exemplify this thought, but do we have to do a whole event based on it? I mean, I'm sure it wouldn't be OK with MY Executive Offices if we decided to sponsor a skit round with the theme "sorority girls are sluts." I know of a fraternity that refuses to be called a "frat" because of the connotations related to it. Yes, they still have guys who are complete jerks to women, but at least their stance as a whole is to portray themselves as a "fraternity" and not a "frat."
