"Outsiders" perceptions

[FSUZeta]

wow alum-isn't it funny that the people who are so prejudiced against greek organizations are accusing greeks of holding the attitudes that THEY, themselves are exhibiting?

wouldn't it be interesting to know if any of these folks explored greek life while they were in college? i imagine they did not. instead they came to college closeminded, with preconceived notions of greek orgs.

and rileydog-what a piece of work that woman is?!?!?

It's the mentality of the Northeast. I grew up there. The parents and kids who post were just like the ones in my area back in the days of the dinosaur. Obviously things haven't changed since I left for college. In regards to the parents on CC who attended Ivies (probably in the 1970s if they have kids applying to college now), they probably didn't go greek or even join the finals clubs.

I do find it interesting that the same individuals that encourage and are proud of selectivity within the college admissions would be so against it in regards for a social organization.

OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.

Maybe it's the mentality of people you hung out with in the Northeast, but fortunately, not me.

Incidentally, if we aren't allowed to link to f****y.net, why should we be allowed to link to this? It's a competing site.

Again, I must've read the wrong thread.

All precetions have some reality to be honest. I love my frat, but many frats go beyond a lot of the bad preceptions.

For example, I know I'm not the best speller, but this individual didn't even give me the benafit of the doubt that maybe, just maybe I made a typing error.

I actually have a big preception about many, but not all sororities/some fraternaties (on an individual level) that they are all stuck up fuckers. Many people on this forum prove this to be true threw making posts such as the one I'm quoting.

I love my fraternity because just as long as you are a cool guy who gets a long with everybody and don’t fit the loser category you stand a chance to at the least receive a bid from us. I really hate reading about all about these “sheep” sorority girls who are willing to do anything and everything down to even changing all morals to gain acceptance into a sorority.

You don't make sense. Typing errors are the least of your problems.

Just work on your spelling and word usage for a few words that you have difficulty with and everything will be okay. You spelled all those other words well and used them in the appropriate context.

It is called phenetics isn,t it?

Oh, maybe fonetics maybe?

Maybe the point being made should be the most important thing of a poster instead of spelling bee/typoing errors.

See, this is why I don't want "CrazyDogLady" as my new screen name! And my dog's name is Riley! Eeek!!!! (Now not only do I want to change my SN, I feel like I need to change my dog's name, too. What is up with crazy people?)
