GRRR...

[sammie17]

sorry guys to totally rant, BUT i just cannot help it! everywhere i go, we greeks are seen as "bad" and just "people who party and buy their friends" GERRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

These ppl who say these kind of things obviously do not know how much Greekdom means to all of us and how much my sisterhood with Theta has changed my life!!! My sisters are there for me 24/7 and i suspect they will always be even if i turn insane for some reason! They have been through everything w/me--I can honestly say that if I hadn't gone Greek, I wouldn't be as happy as I am today. I would have never found these group of girls that I can honestly call my family away from home.

I was on some Survivor Messageboards and those supposed-amber fans (who's an AGD) stopped adoring her JUST BECAUSE she is a sorority gal. Allow me to post some tidbits (hopefully i won't get in trouble or anything):

(I'll leave out the screenames)
XYZ said:
From her bio on the CBS site:

quote:
She's a member of Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority, where she was Vice President and New Member Coordinator.

Call me unfairly biased, but as soon as I saw that one line, I knew I was not going to be a big fan of the Beav.
Now that I reflect on it a bit more, I find it kind of funny how she was vice-president...not quite the top (female) dog, but up there with the elite just the same. She seems to fit into that role pretty well thus far in the Outback, too.

("Babysitter for her professor?" No comment. Okay, I'm done being catty now.)

UGHH!!! XYZ's comment is so typical--ignorant of what we Greeks stand for!!

here's another:

ABC:Most sorority girls I know wouldn't eat an M&M that fell on the ground, much less a big-ass insect.

BCD: It's probably unfair to judge her after only limited appearances in two episodes, but this is Mighty Big TV! It's her background that bugs me, since it includes:

- High school cheerleader

- Sorority member, as January pointed out

- Public Relations major in college

- Living with her parents after graduation

- Working as an administrative assistant (secretary) while looking for her "career job"

- Favorite hobbies are "going out with her friends, dancing and just generally having fun"

She may be the most attractive female contestant, but her background betrays a certain lack of seriousness. I hate women who are like that, and I certainly wouldn't want her as a role model for my daughter.

Her background is why I think she'll be weak and go with the "in" crowd, i.e., Jerri's Kids.

AHHHHHH!!!!!! THese make me PISSED off so bad. Just because she is a sorority girl, she gets all this s*** piled up on her?? There have been other Survivors who have listed "just love hanging out" as their hobbies, and they have not been baited on as Amber has!! And come on, the typical 21 year-old doesn't know what he/she is gonna do with his/her life--that is almost to be expected sometimes.

Sorry just had to get this out!!!! I have friends from HS who just go "oh migod samantha, you went GREEK?? so...i suppose you have a lot of friends...how much did that cost ya?"

Guess I know who are my true friends now....my Greek sisters--who are priceless!
