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

[cinder1965]

This is complicated and I am not sure I agree with this young woman's tactics...however, I do think sororities are different from a sports team and other organizations because we DO promise during recruitment that our chapters are about sisterhood, supportive friends, home away from home, etc. Sports teams don't promise that or neither do many other orgnizations.

If our undergraduate chapter leaders and members aren't fulfilling that promise (and I think many aren't), sororities do have a problem. I am quite sure all of our founders would be appalled if they saw how sorority life has evolved.

At the same time, as a collegian, I participated in the parties, etc. and loved it.

As I said, its complicated.

She says she understands and appreciates the principles underlying sororities. She says she hopes her video will help them change. So why didn't she stick with her chapter and work to change it from within? (As other people have pointed out, she is a communications major and is likely building her portfolio.)

Oh. Wonder if Hoda knew this when reporting this story. (I would think so because she noted a disclaimer that this student's dad worked for NBC.)
