I'm sorry you have that attitude about all women. You are missing out on a lot of powerful and life-changing friendships with all of us who are not evil.

During rush week, she had interrogated me about my parents’ home and father’s profession, inexplicably wincing when I said “dentist.”

What's wrong with dentistry as a profession? Dentists make good money.....

I have felt alienated from several of my sorority sisters. I have always been that oddball, that march to the tune of a different drummer--mine. It's liken to you either love me or you don't. What hurts about this woman's case is that she thought she was past her pain, and it came crashing into her with recognition. And at the time of "confession", the "you know that was college"--that was the time to bust homegirl's bubble. You have no reason to crush her reality, but how come superwoman felt the need to "recognize Kathy Dick!" As if she discovered a long lost treasure?
That is why one has be mindful of what he or she says to one another...
ETA: My mother use to work with a secretary. Oneday, her secretary's hifalutin' friend strolled in the door and wailed about how well she knew the secretary and how they grew up and was happy to see her, saying that she was the most popular woman in the world and how the hifalutin' friend was envious of her. After the hifalutin' friend left, my mom's secretary proceeded to tell her, that when she got home, her mother would lock into a closet and physically abuse her...

They make GOOD money, but it seems like her house was full of girls whose daddies were presidents of oil companies or CFOs of Microsoft. There's a difference between being extremely comfortable and being able to afford ANYTHING you want on a whim.

That's what I surmised. The look was because he was ONLY a dentist.

Were dentists making that great of money back then? Seems like with all the dental cosmetic surgeries and alll the things you can do with teeth these days are newer and more expensive.

Yes, because insurance companies weren't as stingy and restrictive regarding treatment back then, as they are now.
Due to this, a lot of dentists no longer take "assignment" (i.e. the norm is fast becoming where the patient must pay the dentist and then get reimbursed [usually partially, not fully] from the insurance company).

Is anyone else on here from the Bay Area? The author lives in the same TINY town in the Bay Area as my parents, so I immediately asked my mom if she knew her (she does not).
Anyway, Piedmont has a very small-town vibe and I feel that this story may/will haunt this woman and her daughters in the town (and their schools) for many years to come. I was wondering if anyone else on here familiar with the Bay Area had thoughts on this.

Was she actually initiated when she was forced out or a pledge? I got the impression the frat guy was a pledge.

good point, and God forbid her daughters grow up and want to rush. i'd hope she'd be open minded, but being that she is holding a grudge more than 20 years after the fact... i doubt she would be, IMO
