The link between Greek membership and social conservatism

[violetpretty]

This is from my NPC perspective:

I think it has to do with how sororities are portrayed to the general population. How do they see us? Think of every sorority stereotype. Rich, exclusive, obsessed with looks, only in college to find a husband, parties, objectifying ourselves, etc. We are part of "the establishment" to the general population. I think conservatives tend to be more attracted to (or at least more okay with) this image than liberals.

However, if sororities were perceived as organizations to develop female leaders, organizations that are based on non-political values like friendship, loyalty, service, scholarship, etc. our chapters would be composed of a more representative microcosm of the particular campus.
