I already rushed, I just haven't been initiated yet. My mother has been fighting a constant battle to get me to quit. I paid my dues myself and am on track for initiation! Its happening very soon.

But then I read the signs, which are just racist and snotty and reinforce the negative stereotypes of exactly how non-Greeks think about sorority girls as unpleasant spoiled bitches. Ugh.

I loved being in a sorority. I learned leadership, group dynamics, organizational skills, dealing with disparate personalities, and the value of having good women friends.

I had (and continue to have) a LOT of close friends in that very chapter and they were seriously great girls. I'm guessing some of these girls are their daughters, and that just makes me sad.

The whole point of college is to move these narrow, stupid, gated-community prejudices out of people's heads by exposing them to the wider world.

Ugh.

(oh, and 33girl is right. Central PA is VERY isolated and homogeneous)
