I'd say it's more sorority girls in the north who act like this. Don't be such a prude. Did you stay in and study on weekends?

Well, it's definitely too cold to wear sun dresses on game day up here haha. And yeah I did study on weekends. I guess you can say I was definitely not on the "five year plan" like this guy seems to think we all are. Actually on weekends I was usually on mandatory field trips, or in the lab. Geology: not just rocks for jocks.

You're probably right though, I shouldn't have made the north/south comparison. I was having a bad day, and not really caring about blanket statements about either region. Though that doesn't change my opinion of the song. I still think is slightly hypocritical of us (the body of sorority women) to complain about not being taken seriously, then run through the halls of a sorority house singing about the benefits of sisters to get you home when you're "drunk off your ass".

In all honesty, this song is much tamer than another sorority song that is making its way around college campuses.

It obviously reflects sorority girls poorly, but most girls I know think it's funny rather than degrading.

Lol I'm from Michigan. I don't care if it's 100 degrees out. If I saw a girl wear a sundress to a game I'd probably throw marshmellows at her.

is this West coast in origin? I noticed that they tagged UCSB in the tags. If that's the case I'm glad my sorority didn't get a shout out. This is one time I'm glad we only have one chapter in CA!!!

There is NOTHING funny about this (or most hip hop music). It's too misogynistic.

ETA: The original song mentioned in this post has its "bad" points (five year plan, drunk off your ass) but it's a country song so it's against its nature to be disrespectul (at least in a mean way). It's cuter than the other one hands down, but I'm not a huge country person. I don't mind that my sorority is shouted out in that one. It's just way more respectful than the other one.

What's wrong with the 5 year plan? I laughed at that part because rarely ever does anyone I know graduate in 4 years. Too many prerequisites and too many students needing those prereqs.

I have a different take on this. The way it's put in the song implies that sorority women take less than a full course load in order to have more time to do social things. I'd be offended if someone assumed I wasn't going to graduate in four years (which I did), and my major had the most prerequisites, and required courses out of any other at my school.

You people are ridiculous, it's a fun song to be taken lightly. Sure, it's pretty accurate for the most part, but it also leaves out a lot of truth, it stick to pretty much a very small part of the social spectrum of Southern sorority girls. And I happen to find that most girls who are on a 5 year plan or so, are the graduate college, get married 5 year plans. And college might as well be five years anyway.

And for all you Northern people who want to bash Southerners, screw you. So we don't like change, never have never will.

My friends and I all graduated in four years, from different schools including Univ. of Washington and a variety of private schools. In fact, I hardly know anyone from a private school that took five years...just athletes, actually. I was pre-med my first two years, then did a 180 and switched to the communications division, picked up a minor in sociology, and I still graduated in four years from a liberal arts school with a thorough core curriculum. It CAN and IS done.

LOL! I personally don't hate it because...

(irony)

I did like a 4.5 year plan... However, let it be known that I did not rush until junior year. And I kinda did stretch out my time b/c of sorority related reasons (I was on Panhellenic e-board and needed to finish the term) but also because of a last minute language requirement. I was not a social butterfly, but I won't lie, if my parents hadn't refused to pay for anymore

I still might be in school (b/c when I graduated I had not yet figured out what I wanted to do after graduating).
