Umm yeah....
I saw her just two days days when she gave a talk at my school.
She had a very rehearsed speech that was dissappointing to those who are from Greek Life and those who are against it.
* I had a rather lovely discussion yesterday with someone who was from the latter group that accused me of being a snoby rich girl THOUGH WE NEVER HAD SPOKEN TO EACH OTHER BEFORE. *
Yeah, the fact that I many girls pay for all their own dues while having part time jobs just didn't click in her mind and her accusations of them just wanting to be snobby rich girls made it more evident that she didn't know what she was talking about.
Rather than getting angry I just agreed to answer her questions (yes, there were freshmen there that were PNM's) and she just kept digging. Who knows why she hated it all so much; I never hated her and still don't.
Alexandra Robbins is just another person putting her spin on a topic. If you watch TV or read the news, it is much the same thing.
If she did pledge or initiate a sorority there is no one that we can be angry at. There are people who have joined orgs. for worse reasons throughout history and good investigative journalists have to put themselves on the inner circle to get a story. I do think that she uses many things out of context and plays things up to be much more than they really are. People need to realize that one quote or one event does not represent a diverse whole.
By being overly citical of her, you are doing nothing more than stooping down or below some of the things that she had said.
Always read something before throwing your opinion out there FYI!
