The thing is, if you're comfortable with yourself, you don't need to bitch about how other people are insecure and basically mindless drones conforming to some BS standard.

Now, to be honest, I don't have a huge problem with much of what's said in this article. I agree absolutely that there are many sorority women out there who throw themselves into Greek culture to mask their insecurities. Where I think the problem lies is the fact that the author feels so superior to these women. We all have our ways of dealing with our insecurities that may not be so healthy . . . like, oh, writing columns bashing others in our student newspapers?
Also, his insinuation that just because someone is attractive and well-dressed, they must be insecure? Is silly and misguided.
I'm surprised that the sorority women got so upset about this -- to me, it's not worth getting upset over. However, I'm happy that they're out there doing something to counteract this rather than just being complacent about the whole deal.
And Firehouse, the writer of the article is a conservative, not a liberal.
