Wow...
I didn't really post this so people would get upset. I thought it was an interesting song. I'm sorry if some people got offended but, I didn't think it was that bad. In fact, I didn't think it was disrespectful and he is a Greek, himself-so, I like to support my fellow Greeks when I don't think they are being horribly mean.
If you don't like the song-I'm sorry. It wasn't meant for so much uproar.

It really is spot on, however, for many sorority gals in the South, and that's who Luke Bryan is describing. No, not everyone drinks, and many are excellent students (greeks consistently have a higher GPA than the avg student population). But just check out facebook pictures and even the GC threads on rush in the south. There is a good percentage of beautiful, tanned, wealthy coquettes who wear sundresses to football games, and trust me, they are NOT offended by this song. Just read the message boards. Girls in the sororities mentioned in the song are bragging, not complaining, about it.
Personally, as a mom, I think it is a cute, harmless song. That is NOT true of the trash that was linked earlier in the thread. That is vulgar and disgusting, and the definition of offensive to me.

Agree with this.

I love the song! Does anyone know if Luke Bryan's wife was in a sorority? I read that they are college sweethearts...so I am guessing they both went to GSU together. GSU has KD, ADPi, KKG, Phi Mu, Zeta & AOPi Just curious :-)

All I can say is that I'm glad we don't get mentioned in songs.

A lot of Luke Bryan's songs, especially his upbeat ones, are tongue-in-cheek. I wouldn't take anything he sings about too seriously.
