Is This Forum All Females?

I mean, I've heard of sorority exec meetings that last literally all afternoon... on a regular basis, when there's not a "crisis" going on or anything. Girls/women just seem to be more chatty than guys, especially in the greek world. I think this is the biggest factor, honestly.

2. Sororities generally have more in common with one another
At least, the NPC seems to have pretty much standardized a lot of aspects of NPC sorority life on a national basis, so they have a lot of common ground that they can start topics about. Fraternities seem to have a lot more variation in style from place to place.

3. There's more to talk about with a sorority, rather than a fraternity
This is the "recruitment story" syndrome. It seems like many women have a long, drawn-out recruitment experience, with lots of ups and but a lot of IFC "recruitment stories" would go something like this:

Day 1:
Went to a few houses, didn't really like them.
Day 2:
Went to a few more houses, a couple were pretty cool.
Day 3:
Went back to the houses I liked, one of them offered me a bid, I took it. I guess I'm a pledge now.

There's just not the drama there, y'know?

but ....but....but....what about telling us all about what you wore? What they wore? The conversation topics? The decor? Did they sing?

Men.......you can't pry it out of them with a can opener...bottle opener maybe...but not a can opener!
