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

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.

I think it's darling!

You all need to consider the campus culture that this song is coming from. Just saying.

(GSU girls - y'all are some of my favorites ever. But you are all completely crazy - the fun kind of crazy - and if I ever saw you studying on a Friday night, I would wonder what was wrong.)

I can't believe anybody would be offended by this song...I think it's adorable. Talking about drinking and a five year plan could be seen as derogatory, but it is obvious he is into her carefree attitude and confidence, and that he respects the girl in order to sing about her. I have no problems with it whatsoever...I think it's a cute song and I wish Alpha Phi was bigger in the south so we could have been included!

As for the second song, I bet it's out of California since all the sororities mentioned are ones that are at most West Coast schools (DG, Alpha Phi, Pi Phi vs. Phi Mu, KD, Zeta)...and as a California girl I'm still disgusted by it. I'm not usually even uptight about vulgarity in songs, but the lyrics in this aren't even clever...it's one thing to do a vulgar song but make it witty (Ludacris, Mickey Avalon, take your pick) but this is just lazy and dumb.

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).
