Greek Stigma

[WVU alpha phi]

I took Soc 101 my junior year and it was a predominantly freshmen class. Our teacher was young, maybe in his mid 20s, and very vocally anti-Greek. I sat with several of my sisters and we all wore letters at some point on another to class of course. He made several remarks throughout the semester about never understanding why people go Greek, Greeks only get drunk and sleep around, etc. It was disheartening in a class of 300 freshmen who may have been considering going Greek at some point. I believe he had been an undergrad at a school in the south, so I don't know if his undergrad experience or his WVU experience led him to believe this! Nevertheless, I'd be so annoyed when he made comments.
