"Southern" Sororities?

[Jill1228]

I am with Kathy on this one. Very offensive and juvenile. I guess we know how you view women

You're right, southern fraternity men don't respect women at all...Its a funny slang term...hence sorority girls referring to themselves as such. It really doesn't imply anything degrading or sexual. Sorostitute and its male counterpart "fratdaddy," are not at all offensive if you have any understanding of the context.

Sorostitute is the same as saying something like Fratdaddy. Girls refer to themselves as this all the time.

LaneSig, I don't say things to get a rise out of people. Thanks though champ. Its an internet message board, I don't care enough to do that.

Hm, I thought all Soros South of Canada were Southern?

Do you really know what the Mason Dixon line is?

It actually has nothing to do with North and South.

[macallan25]

Yeah, it was actually first drawn up when there were still British colonies in the States, creating the borders for, I think, Penn, Deleware, and Maryland. It was used to separate slave states from non-slave states around 1780. After the Missouri Compromise (1820) though, it took on a more symbolic meaning of separating North and South.

Wow. You really do know everything.

To add some clout to the boys'(?) argument, girls really do use sorostitute in referring to themselves. I will acknowledge that there is some negative connotation to the world, but it's minimal. Personally, I don't find it the least bit offensive, nor do I mind being called one. It's an image & a mindset, but not a degoratory one.

Ok...you do get that sorority + prostitute = sorositiute, right?

Because I do find it offensive a sorority is likened to a brothel.

That's some messed up image and mindset, and I really have to wonder how exactly you think it's not derogatory and offensive?

I can tell you right now if ANYONE ever referred to me or any of my sorors as a "sorostitute", it would not be pretty. Why would you not only take that kind of crap but perpetuate it?

[macallan25]

Well, every fraternity and sorority scene that I have been around in the South all commonly use the term Sorostitute in the same way that they use Fratdaddy. Its pretty much understood that no one is meaning anything harmful or negative.

Chill out.

I've never heard anyone use that term IRL at my Southern undergrad. Guess I was just fortunate or something.

Neither have I and I'm talking about NPHC, IFC, and NPC. I would give a HUGE lecture if I did hear such nonsense.

The only people I've heard use the term "sororstitute" are GDIs. I don't know why any woman would want to associate herself with prostitutes, but hey, people do all kinds of stuff that don't make sense.

I've never heard the term "fratdaddy" at all. The only thing that comes to mind when I hear that is Fry Daddy, which I wouldn't want to be associated with either if I were a guy. What the hell is fratdaddy supposed to mean, anyway? It doesn't have any of the same negative connotation to it that "sororstitute" does.
