PNM Questions regarding sorority life

[James]

Edited for Italics and sense.

Since a lot of people believe that MTV's Sorority Life will sponsor a lot of misconceptions for potential new members (what a mouthful NPC has given us in the name of politcal correctness) that will translate into wierd questions.

So lets role-play a little and see if we can guess a lot of their questions and suggest different answers. Kind of like the infamous: 10 objections to joining, that we all get to hear about every year.

I'll start with some common questions and some answers. I am sure that you will have different answers and more questions. Also some of my answers might be way off because I am not a girl.

Also, these questions are posed more formally than they would be in conversation.

Q. Do you have pledge houses?

A. No we don't have pledge houses that was just a device MTV used so they could follow a group.

Q. Do girls talk about each other in sororities?

A. People don't stop being people when they join a sorority, so some will and some won't. Much like your current circle of friends.

Q. Do you slap each other a lot?

A. It almost never happens and if it did the people would be called before the chapter. Although if we don't know about it . . . well we don't know.

Q. Are there a lot of rules new members have to follow while joining the sorority?

[/i]A. Well if you live in the sorority house there is no alcohol and no boys past a certain time. And there are certain rules of conduct you have to follow. [/i]

Q. Will we have to move rocks or something like that?

[i]A. You won't have to move rocks, our organization considers that hazing. You may be asked to do other similar types of team building activites, but it would not be late at night and actives would be doing it with you.

Q. Are the new members held to a higher standard than initated Sisters? For example: are new members likely to be called-out before initated sisters for the same types of behaviors.

A. Yes, they are held to a higher standard.

Q. Why?

A. I have no idea. . . I am running out of time right now lol.

Here are some more possible questions:

Q. Will we be expected to party less than active Sisters?

Q. Will you really care what we wear like the girls on the show did?

Q. Will the sisters actually be discussing the we behave to each other when we are not present to defend ourselves?

Q. Would you really come to us and say that you "heard" stuff about us without telling us who "said" so we can know what you are talking about? Why?

Q. Will we be required to attend a lot of events?

Q. If its not "required", are there penalties if we don't go, or don't go to enough events?

I am sure you can think of more also . . . but I think some might be difficult to answer without scaring PNM's.
