Less popular sororities

Seriously? Is this where your mind is going right now?

Your time would be better spent looking up Beyonce Knowles.

Would you deny that there's a significant income gap between whites and different races...remember if you say no, you'd be going against your Marxism.

With that, and with Arkansas being poor as it is...it is very difficult for minorities to pay for very expensive sororities.

I do recall one minority being in a top tier sorority, as I think about it. She went to one of the top high schools in the state and is very, very wealthy.

I am appalled at the stupidity of some people on Greek Chat ... Elephant Walk being near the top of the list. Some inferiors like him can only operate in anonymity. I suspect if we met in "real" life he would be the little twerp who barely got in to his fraternity to begin with (and one of the few accomplishments he will ever have in life). I vote to ignore him and maybe he will go away.

What exactly are you against or deny?

Do you think I'm wrong? How? What's your experience with Southern sorority and fraternity life?

I've made no wrong statements.

It isn't my Marxism.

DUH. The obvious gap between blacks and whites is why I brought up race in that "south" thread when someone celebrated the social class divide. You get it now but didn't get it then and accused me of bringing race into something that had nothing to do with race. But here you are--I guess it's okay because whites can bring up race whenever and however without being accused of irrationally playing the "race card."

However, none of what you're typing about now really has to do with what your posts were initially about. You're struggling to bring the attention away from bigotry and address social issues. LOL. Nice try.

So did the fraternity men shun the sorority or not? That's what we're typing about now because you brought this to the forefront.

Absolutely opposite. I pointed straight to bigotry and social issues. Maybe read what I wrote, discussing the gap between races and so forth...I would consider that bigotry and social issues, no?

As I said before, yes. They were not doing well before because they lacked tradition and connections. They are too new of a sorority. Because they lacked these things, they made rush decisions which were not things the fraternity system looked upon as good, it sent them much lower. This is a personal example obviously, but I would think that this has happened at many other campuses.

LOL. Not the way you brought up the issue. You're horrible at backsliding.

Soooo...the fraternity shunned the sorority because...they pledged a black woman who is from a wealthy background. Okay...so that's a race effect that can't be disguised. You said it is tradition. Now what?

DSTChaos was asking if THIS sorority was shunned, not the ones who had the bad taste to pledge the poor black girl.

Yeah. It's hard to keep EW's stories straight.

EW was the one who brought up race. He didn't just say "a poor woman" as if the class background was the central issue and not race. He's full of it.
