A local sorority at USC?

Okay, trojanpride, or how about we just call you trojanslime. What a fucking trained monkey you are!

We all know that we discuss reputations on here, you dumb fuck! Your post merely encourages them. I'd quote it but I am seriously hoping that you remove that part.

Joining a sorority is not about reputations. It is so much more; friendship, sisterhood, ritual, traditions and more to name a few. It is for a life time. Women need to realize that.
You have no idea what is like to be in those chapters. And for the lower tier chapter, try telling them that their sisterhood is less valuable. Try telling them that their BFF is sub-par or "nobody". You can't rank that. You can't rank the life long friendships and sisterhood.

Hey, I'm not condoning this behavior, but USC has a very unique and strange social scene. Girls join sororities for much much more, I understand that. Same for guys in frats. This is where the OP is off. I have friends in all of the chapters I mentioned, and none of them fit those types but that's the point! It's messed up. Nasty reps about sororities are like stone at SC, and it shouldn't be that way.

I'm trying to convey to an anonymous board what a very specific environment is like. There are very many things wrong with it (but there are many, many things great about it). The OP sees it, 28thStGreek sees it, and so do I. There are tons of valuable facets of the Row, which is why I choose to be a part of it. I'm not in a top top frat or anything. It's hard for someone who isn't attending USC at this very moment to understand what we're talking about. The stereotypes offended you and they should, but that's what they are here and my point is that it's batshit crazy.

Edit: I know that what I've posted has been downright offensive but imagine how it is for students at USC right now: When a friend says what house she's in she has to go out of her way to prove she's not slutty. Guys in frats have to prove they're not "creepers" or gay or a bunch of other things. Girls I've talked to have lost interest once they ask me what house I'm in and I'm in a middle tier. Guys hook up with top tier girls just to say they did. It's bad. I'm sure it's that way at other big Greek systems and all that but it's not good.

This is obviously the bad side of Greek that USC's focused on recently, particularly freshman keyed into collegeACB. We have high GPAs, successful philanthropies, well-established houses, large chapters, great alumni, but scandals and anonymous gossip websites are ruining us.

You don't condone it but perpetuate the stereotypes on a public message board. You are a douche lord.

You seem think that you are stating the obvious. But, in reality as BR said it, you are just contributing to it.

My thoughts exactly!

Give it up! The culture you describe at USC is not unlike several other large schools across the country.

All these stereotypes aren't pretty and I don't mean to encourage them, yet I did. I am very sorry.
Yet any incoming freshman will be told these things again and again when they arrive on campus. This didn't happen to even a couple years above us because ACB and TFM weren't popular. Now the year below me is pretty much always on ACB it feels like and I know that incoming students shouldn't look there for advice or anything, but now it's a part of USC culture.

A student started a "take the anonymous out of ACB" movement and so far there are 300+ posts on our page of people giving their names...and that's just the people willing to admit they're reading it. It's a start, but it also shows just how influential it is.

Just because this is the environment at several other schools doesn't make it okay. Change is tough but it could happen by perhaps shutting down ACB and moving on from there. I don't know.

Since you're so eager to promote the sorority stereotypes here, please share with us the name of your fraternity, its stereotype and position in the USC food chain.

I'm in Beta Theta Pi.

Apparently we're a house of fags and pussies.

Threads like these are what ACB is full of, which would be fine if people (especially freshmen) didn't take it seriously. Say a nice thing about a house and you're a member self-promoting. Say a bad thing and you're a jealous geed. Things like that.
