The September 1976 Texas Monthly article is entitled "Sisterhood is Powerful" and was written by Prudence Mackintosh, who pledged Kappa Kappa Gamma in 1962.
I also remember reading the Texas Handbook, similiar to the Official Preppy Handbook and the Southern Belle's Handbook that the proper progression for a Texas gentlewoman was
Camp Waldemar to Highland Park HS to Big Six Sorority to Junior League

I guess someone forgot to tell that to women like Kay Bailey Hutchison.
Seriously, your interest in sororities is not so slowly creeping into prune tacos territory.

Actually, she is a member of one of the big six and was a UT cheerleader, but that's not the point.
Why on earth would you use material written over 30 years ago as the ultimate guide to sorority recruitment at UT in 2010? That's old, old stuff. If I remember correctly, the Texas Monthly article did poke some fun at the groups with it's member profiles. It was not all serious praise. Let it go and move on, or at least enter the current century.

Really? OMG I HAD NO IDEA SHE WAS A PI PHI AND A CHEERLEADER!!!! Are you really that obtuse? That's totally the point. Even back in the 1960s, the path outlined by amicus was a ridiculous stereotype.

Hence why I've stayed away from a lot of his posts.

No, I'm not obtuse. The point is that is ancient history and no longer valid. The info is readily available and is in most stories that cover her background. Just read them.
Also, "attacking the man" is one of the worst fallacies.

Ok, you're really confusing everyone and you apparently can't keep your posters straight. If you want to reply to the KBH remark, you need to snip the post before you quote it. Like so.

TXalum1: Well she was in XYZ and yadda yadda.

If you want to tell Amicus (who is a completely separate poster from LadyLonghorn in case you didn't get that) that he's relying on old fashioned stereotypes, you need to quote HIS posts.
What you are basically doing is criticizing someone who agrees with you.

Also he doesn't know how to use his fallacies.
Anytime someone calls someone obtuse I channel Shawshank Redemption.
