Syracuse student leaves sorority, bashes "culture of cruelty"...

[FSUZeta]

Young people seem to have no senses of humor ( or tolerance for opposing views) anymore, aka "safe spaces" on college campuses. They have been indulged, coddled, and sheltered. How on earth will they cope out in the cold cruel world?

If she wished to bring up selectivity what about the top 25 elite colleges/universities in the United States? Some of these have admit rates of 6% to 10%. Potential freshmen with 2400 SATs, 4.0 grade averages, top awards and honors, rigorous course loads, many AP classes and outstanding co-curricular records are sent letters of regret from the most selective institutions. Talented musicians are turned down from prestigious music conservatories. Life today is not without competition and disappointments.

Her sorority membership may not have come up to her expectations, but some students who were ecstatic to be admitted to certain universities do transfer out or leave for other reasons. There is no perfect group/college/organization or business.

If this young woman is searching for inclusion and perfection in any organization, she is heading for more disappointments in the future.

If they survive the first cold dose of reality, they will have begun the journey to being an adult in the real sense of the word. I would say it in a much plainer way if I'd been at Ken's and had had a few....As a fellow Seminole grad, I'm sure you remember Ken's....

We also say "you get out of it what you put into it." This girl strikes me as a very humorless someone who put in very little, therefore she had a very small, humorless experience. Boo f'ing hoo.
