wow - what a terrible indictment of sorority life. I hope they will publish a counterpoint article that can represent equal time. So sorry for Alpha phi which, based on the article and responses, appears to be a smaller group on campus and probably does not need the negative press.
sad. Shame on the newspaper and the reporter for such an obvious bias.
In looking at the Alpha Phi OU website, they look to be a group of beautiful and diverse women... nothing suggests what this so-called "journalist" says about them.
Some people just never will understand sisterhood... and that makes me sad.
I don't support the article, but I understand how recruitment could be a catalyst for wanting out of the system.
I think it comes across here when we touch on the more superficial aspects of recruitment that there are some aspects of how we pick members that might not 100% line up with what we'd define as a perfect sisterhood. If those unpleasant parts became defining for the way you viewed your own group, I can see how it would be hard to continue and how you might want to indict the whole system rather than admit that you bought into it.
