This reminded me of a situation at Bama around 35 years ago. Anyone else remember this?

Playboy published a pictorial, featuring coeds from around the SEC, and three (there may have been others) were (or had been) affiliated with Bama sororities. The Alpha Chi was photographed in regular street clothes, so nothing happened to her as far as her chapter membership was concerned (her daughter is currently at Bama but pledged a different chapter). The KD and the Alpha Gam were photographed showing breasts (plus a little more for one, actually). The KD used a different last name in the magazine, but had disaffiliated from her chapter a while before the pictorial anyway – so no chapter consequences there either. The Alpha Gam was either not very active or graduated, but supposedly her pin was lifted following the Playboy pics.

Interestingly, at the time, women who identified as feminists spoke out against Playboy and these women who posed for the SEC feature. I don’t know what perspective feminists would have on this today, but it made me wonder.
