Sorority Girl

[als463]

So, I came across this song and thought it was interesting. Apparently, the singer is a Sigma Chi from Georgia Southern. For all of you Southern girls-I thought it was cute and you might like it...I'm not even Southern and I think it is interesting....Enjoy!

It's already created a splash down here. My Alpha Xi daughters from West GA brought it home when they were on spring break last week. Too bad they are not mentioned but I'm sure the girls will try to fit their letters in somehow!!

I posted it on the ADPi board and it's HUGE in my house...we were running through the halls singing it right before spring break

I love this song. One of our girls has posted it as her facebook status and I'm sure its going to be sung WAYY too much

Wow... I'd never heard this song before, and I couldn't even finish it. It makes sorority women sound like vapid lushes who don't take school very seriously. If that's the case in the south, then I say thank goodness I'm from the north land.

Ok, I'm glad someone else said this, cause I feel the same way! We complain about the negative stereotypes that the media and pop culture gives to Greeks, and then a song like this comes out and doesn't exactly help the cause..

I'd say it's more sorority girls in the north who act like this. Don't be such a prude. Did you stay in and study on weekends?

Well, it's definitely too cold to wear sun dresses on game day up here haha. And yeah I did study on weekends. I guess you can say I was definitely not on the "five year plan" like this guy seems to think we all are. Actually on weekends I was usually on mandatory field trips, or in the lab. Geology: not just rocks for jocks.

You're probably right though, I shouldn't have made the north/south comparison. I was having a bad day, and not really caring about blanket statements about either region. Though that doesn't change my opinion of the song. I still think is slightly hypocritical of us (the body of sorority women) to complain about not being taken seriously, then run through the halls of a sorority house singing about the benefits of sisters to get you home when you're "drunk off your ass".

In all honesty, this song is much tamer than another sorority song that is making its way around college campuses.

It obviously reflects sorority girls poorly, but most girls I know think it's funny rather than degrading.

Lol I'm from Michigan. I don't care if it's 100 degrees out. If I saw a girl wear a sundress to a game I'd probably throw marshmellows at her.

They actually just filmed the music video for Sorority Girl by Luke Bryan in my school's town, none of our ladies were allowed to participate in the filming. I think it's a very fun song, not degrading.

is this West coast in origin? I noticed that they tagged UCSB in the tags. If that's the case I'm glad my sorority didn't get a shout out. This is one time I'm glad we only have one chapter in CA!!!

There is NOTHING funny about this (or most hip hop music). It's too misogynistic.

ETA: The original song mentioned in this post has its "bad" points (five year plan, drunk off your ass) but it's a country song so it's against its nature to be disrespectul (at least in a mean way). It's cuter than the other one hands down, but I'm not a huge country person. I don't mind that my sorority is shouted out in that one. It's just way more respectful than the other one.

What's wrong with the 5 year plan? I laughed at that part because rarely ever does anyone I know graduate in 4 years. Too many prerequisites and too many students needing those prereqs.

I have a different take on this. The way it's put in the song implies that sorority women take less than a full course load in order to have more time to do social things. I'd be offended if someone assumed I wasn't going to graduate in four years (which I did), and my major had the most prerequisites, and required courses out of any other at my school.

You people are ridiculous, it's a fun song to be taken lightly. Sure, it's pretty accurate for the most part, but it also leaves out a lot of truth, it stick to pretty much a very small part of the social spectrum of Southern sorority girls. And I happen to find that most girls who are on a 5 year plan or so, are the graduate college, get married 5 year plans. And college might as well be five years anyway.

And for all you Northern people who want to bash Southerners, screw you. So we don't like change, never have never will.
