Question for sorority girls: Opinion of country crossover music

They are just pretty girls, I cannot think of any other reason why they are so popular and sell so many albums. I don't get what is the big deal about shania in particular.

About half of my friends are in sororities and about half are not. None of them listen to country music. It seems that there are some very conservative people on this board.

Gee, or maybe it's because some people on this board are from the south and southwest, where country music is very popular. However, I live in Seattle and am liberal, and I still love country music. If you're looking for a reason to not go greek, and think a love of country music by some sorority women is it, then fine. Carry on with your childish way of thinking and leave us alone.

No need to get snippy about this. I was just expressing a personal opinion, just as some other people who like country music were expressing their opinions.

My decision whether or not to go greek will not depend largely on whether some girls in some sororities listen to country music. The sorority girls I know are not country fans. If other girls in other houses want to listen to country music I don't have a problem with it, I just wouldn't want to be in an organization where I have to hear shania, carrie, tim mcgraw, etc every day.

Judging by your post, I doubt any organization would want someone like you as a member, anyway.

No need to get personal. Everybody has different tastes in music, there are people who don't like to hear hip hop, people who don't like heavy metal, people who don't like jazz, and the list goes on. This doesn't make them good or bad people, it just means they do not enjoy hearing certain kinds of music.

Do you think shania and carrie are so integral to sorority life that no organization would want a member who doesn't want to hear their music every day? I don't think that is the case and certainly hope it is not so.

Methinks this the reincarnation of the recently-banned cardinal96.

Last I checked, that trick had something against Carrie and Shania for some reason.

That's the impression I have too. She's certainly quick to continue with this thread. So Cardinal96, I'm sure your buddy Redon is right behind you.

I think reedon is too busy enjoying the scenery in HPRL. Perhaps this one should join him.

californiagal01, you are way too concerned about stupid things when it comes to sorority choice. Politics and Country music? Please! You have obviously not read these forums and realized what sorority membership is really all about!

I am nearly convinced that you are actually a conservative troll trying to make liberals look bad.

Once again, every chapter is made up of very different types of women. In every chapter, there are girls who like all different kinds of music. My chapter had 60 girls in it and our musical tastes were all across the board. Some liked the more mainstream pop stuff, others liked country, others were into indie stuff. Most of us liked a mix of everything.

You really can't judge a chapter based on the musical tastes of its members, because there is no chapter full of women who listen to the SAME type of music.

If you were to walk into recruitment and say "do all of your members like country?" you'd probably get a confused look because, well, every girl in the chapter is into different stuff and you can't make a big generalized answer about that.

Sorority membership is such that you will get to know many different women from different backgrounds.

If you're looking for a group girls who ALL like the same music, are all liberal or conservative, and are all JUST like you, then sorority membership is NOT for you.

QFP.

Good call OTW. I think this troll needs to get a life.
For what it's worth, speaking as a native born & bred California girl, I adore country music and know many sorority girls from various organizations who feel the same and guess what? They're all California girls too!

Well then you'd better not pledge ANY NPC sorority because we all sing "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!" every morning when we wake up. It's like immediate. We open our eyes and it just comes out of our mouths. It's because of the chip they put in our brain at initiation.

What the hell is your problem? You're weird, and you were banned once already. If you don't like sorority girls at Stanford then ignore them.
