I would agree. Especially when you look it from a PNM standpoint, most girls would tend to favor those which have what they call, "Barbie" looking girls, in the chapter, than those who have more personality. It's sad, but true that a good amount of girls go for appearance. Not saying that every PNM is like that, but you do have to admit it does exist.

I actually admire DZ's selection in girls at DePauw. It's pretty sad that it has to go this way.

hmmm

hmmmm and you wonder where anyone would get any sort of idea that only hot, < size 8 blond chicks belong in sororities *no offense to you all* and reinforcing the negative stereotypes that women are trying to get away from. As every greek girl says that they are diverse and have a duty towards service. And it's not helping that you women are giving him the pictures, while it might be ego boosting for you, it takes away what you have worked hard for, as you may be now known as a piece of @$$ vs a philanthropic individual. Maybe not, but I am slightly disappointed that anyone would subject themselves to this. Nice job for ruining 'images' of chapters and being insensitive as a whole.

and yes i agree, it is creepy that you are wanting people to post pictures of 'barbie dolls' geez...

Feel free to post a thread with links or pics to chapters with the best service or philanthropy. Chapters with the best records in greek week. Or any other way you choose to cateogrize.

I won't delete it. I am sure people will contribute.

This thread DOES objectify women, and quite frankly some pretty rude things are being slung around about girls that some described as "the offspring of Helen Hunt and Ellen Degeneres". Oh, and there is nothing creepy about guys wanting to see girls... however just remember, 1/2 your age plus 7 if you want to break the "Look but don't touch" rule.

Can't we all just get along?

:sigh:

I'm going to bed. I hate all nighters. 6:30 AM comes around too darn quick these days...
