wouldn't mind seeing a longer version of a documentary--maybe following several girls around, discussing the costs, etc.

Same here. I thought that it was well done and informative.

it's hard to call someone else out for being elitist when you're attending an Ivy

I take your point, but at the same time, there are different kinds of elitism, and there's nothing inconsistent about finding some more distasteful than others. The Ivy League is completely up-front that they pick most of the class based on who they think is going to go out and conquer the world with brains, talent, etc., and then round it out with athletes and legacies. If Anonymous is telling the truth, then her sorority not only judges women primarily on their looks and clothes, but also HIDES that fact and pretends that it's all about being BFFs.
Both my alma mater and Anonymous's sorority are elitist institutions, but I feel quite differently about them. Personally, I'm very comfortable with Ivy League faculty members judging my SAT scores to see whether I qualify for an academic challenge. I'm not comfortable with fellow college women judging my hotness to see whether I qualify to be BFF with Anonymous's sorority sisters, especially if they won't admit that they're doing it.
