wouldn't it be interesting to know if any of these folks explored greek life while they were in college? i imagine they did not. instead they came to college closeminded, with preconceived notions of greek orgs.

and rileydog-what a piece of work that woman is?!?!?

It's the mentality of the Northeast. I grew up there. The parents and kids who post were just like the ones in my area back in the days of the dinosaur. Obviously things haven't changed since I left for college. In regards to the parents on CC who attended Ivies (probably in the 1970s if they have kids applying to college now), they probably didn't go greek or even join the finals clubs.

I do find it interesting that the same individuals that encourage and are proud of selectivity within the college admissions would be so against it in regards for a social organization.

OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.

Maybe it's the mentality of people you hung out with in the Northeast, but fortunately, not me.

Incidentally, if we aren't allowed to link to f****y.net, why should we be allowed to link to this? It's a competing site.
