I came across this short article in my research.

I don't know if you'll be able to access this link since Ebsco Host is a subscription network for libraries, so here's the necessary info:

It wants a user id & password.

I PM'd you, 33girl.

Anyone who has access to a University Library system should be able to get to the article.

i'm glad that professor found peace with the greeks. i was always afraid to wear my letters the first couple of weeks to class because i didn't want my professors to stereotype me.

I looooved being stereotyped--because then I always had so much fun COMPLETELY baffling people by how un-stereotypical I was! But if I had been in a more "intellectual" discipline (i.e. other than Drama, not that it's not intellectual but we're generally known as a more eclectic bunch) then I could understand not wanting the...stigma? I haven't read the article but professors who have problems with Greeks are silly and need to broaden their horizons.
