It was all Greek to me....

No, you're just from Pennsylvania. (high fives and pierogies)

This just ground my gears because at first she was all like "I was treated terribly, they hazed me, etc etc..."

THEN you get into the comments and she says things like "But if you had a strong personality (I'm an ENFP on the Myers-Briggs, Tamra), sorority life is stifling and full of too much ass-kissing fealty." That comes across to me that even if she would have had a dream pledging experience and never been treated with anything but the utmost respect, she would have STILL hated it. Sorority life does require a certain amount of going along with the group (and no, I don't mean hazing, I mean having the formal at a place you hate that everyone else loves). If you can't do that at least part of the time, you shouldn't be in one.

^^^ That's the part people are missing. I read the same things.

I agree.

And as someone else said, it could've been any organization that she had this self-revelation about because some people just need something to get their wheels turning.

Being Greek isn't for everyone but it isn't the only time in anyone's life where they will have to learn how to mix and mingle for the sake of group identity and a larger cause. Work, anyone? Family, anyone? Abiding by laws, anyone? Just existing as a human, anyone? Screw that chic and her pseudo-personality analyses.
