You think quotes like this will do the trick? Calling other women "stupid bitches" makes you look good?

WOW, and some think I get over the top. This makes me blush from the venom in those fangs.

No need to be THAT pc. If a stupid bitch is a stupid bitch, then there is nothing wrong with calling a stupid bitch that.

Well, it's probably unnecessary. Sure sometimes we all get mad and say stuff, and I’m sure I’ve said similar things or worse. But I like to think, and maybe I’m deluding myself, that if I were complaining about how other people represented greek life, I might try to do it in, um, more refined language.

All we know about the situation in question is that at least one person made a mean poster, and that at least one person didn’t like how the girls were lined up for a video.

We can read into it all the middle school motivation that we want, and certainly the pig poster makes you wonder, but considering image during recruitment, which like it or not, is a pretty image driven process in a lot of cases, in the form of thinking through how to line up for the video might not make a whole group of girls “stupid bitches.”

Is appearance alone how I think decisions should be made? No. Are appearance and reputation big factors in recruitment? yeah.

I really don't think anyone called that entire chapter "stupid bitches" it was people who do things "like this."

Someone who goes out of their way to make a malicious poster does not do so in a vacuum. Other girls knew and/or participated.

You are probably right, but while the sorority may have provided the poster-making mean ones with a victim, it probably wasn't the cause of their behavior.

I wonder how it was handled internally.

I never defended the poster. It was a cruel thing to do.

Again, no one said that they were stupid bitches because they were in a sorority. Just that they make sororities on the whole look bad. Even if the video line up was not a big deal, it clearly hurt some feelings. See my other posts for my thoughts on the actual topic.

Girls who intentionally hurt others girls (their sisters!) like this deserve the title.

Personally I keep it clean so I can keep my letters in my signature...but seriously I think it's deserved. It's not fair to call the entire chapter that at all, but someone (I bet it wasn't just ONE person, either) put up that poster...and they deserve the title.

Like I said, I don't agree with hurting people's feelings for a recruitment video, but I've seen people intentionally left out of pictures or recruitment...at least they were included...and we also don't know the whole story on that one. I don't think that's something to pass judgement on yet.

But the poster? Yes I pass judgement and no, there's no excuse, whether or not we have the whole story.

Some women are, unfortunately, bitches. Other women are stupid. Some women combine the two together and become Stupid Bitches.

Acting like you're in junior high when you're in college? Stupid Bitch

While I'll reserve judgement on the video line up (though it sounds like at the very least people's feelings should have been addressed) there's no excuse for the poster. At the same time, did she fail to address the issue with the appropriate people w/in the chapter?
Maybe the problem could have been fixed instead of ending this way.

They shoulda settled it in their panties and bras in a kid pool filled with pudding.

Well, the hot ones at least....

The pig poster sounds like someone being mean. Ever seen "Mean Girls"? Girls are mean to each other. Unfortunately, everyone has either been guilty of doing it or has been a victim of it. But there is no excuse for college aged women (these are not girls) to be so immature.

As for the line-up:

Think about it. Whoever she chooses to put in front is going to hurt someone's feelings or make someone mad. If you put only blondes in front, the brunettes will be mad. If you put the athletes up front, other girls will be mad. If you put the top GPAs in front, the not-so-stellar GPAs will get mad. You can't win.
