I don't understand either, but it happens. I have to limit my consumption in public places because of that reason. The oddest thing, is that I am in no way an exhibitionist sober. I avoid tight clothes, short skirts, and never show cleavage.

In her letters? Ok now that is really beyond reason...seems like she could've at least had the sense to change shirts, since she was going to be showing everyone boobage anyway.

I'm not modest in general...I just don't get embarrassed easily so I don't care but I STILL never wanted to show body parts. I have no problem showing cleavage all day (though there is such a thing as classy sexy...like a cleavage shirt with a short skirt is a no no...just wear it with JEANS!...or a modest shirt with a short skirt), but they still stay in the shirt.

Maybe I really am just lazy when I drink.

Oh, I don't know. It seems that in the intervening 20 years Chi Omegas have improved their programming in this area - note the following quote from ESPN:http://espn.go.com/page2/s/caple/020409.html



After winning a championship, football teams must douse the coach in Gatorade with the same enthusiasm and glee with which they would water down a Chi Omega during a wet T-shirt contest.

Seriously?

Happens fairly often. A few years back, ZTA Jenna Morasca (won one of the Survivors) was nude with another female in Playboy. Prior to that she had talked about loving hazing when she was in her chapter in a Stuff Magazine interview. She might've even still been an active undergrad them. I know that other people have mentioned other greeks that have been in Playboy. (I only mention her specifically because she's the only one I know the name of)

And this matters because....?

I have trouble understanding all the panic about female nudity. Especially from sorority women. Sororities are often thought of as "pro-woman". Having this phobia about naked or partially naked women implies that nudity is somehow immoral and/or gross, and we should be ashamed of our bodies.

I don't think it's the nudity as much as the context. I don't think a woman would get in trouble for, say, posing for a nude painting. Or owning a nudist resort. Or being a nudist, come to that. And good Lord - look at what some of these women wear today (grabs walker and hobbles across floor) But it is the posing as a sexual object - in a forum that is NOT pro-woman - that is the problem.

There is actually a famous pornstar from UofA, that was greek as well.

The chapter is now defunct, but this was early 90's apparently.

I was just having a little fun!

"Chi Omegas never rest" ??!? Come on, SWT, you know it was funny!

[SWTXBelle]

Yes, it is - which is why I responded back in kind!!! I knew those Chi Omegas would NEVER allow their programming to be found wanting.

Nudity for art or beauty is one thing. Getting plastered and showing your boobs for beads isn't "pro-woman". I don't get it, though I don't have as much of a problem with it as some people...since I chalk it up to dumb drunk college kids...we all make mistakes...but it's still not "pro-woman".

Let's be honest. When most of us wear a low cut top who are we doing it for? It sounds good to say it's because we're confident and just being secure in our right to show our bodies in the fashion we choose or some crap like that, but it's really because Johnny Frat boy is really hot and all Johnny Frat boys like boobs. I'm all for honesty. It's ok...that's part of being a teenager or college student. Stupidity comes with the territory...I'm 21, I'm still stupid sometimes. And MOST teenage/college girls have done this at one time or another, Greek or not! But is that pro-woman?

Nope.
