Sorority Girl

[HDL66]

The thing that perpetuates a stereotype is when there is a grain of truth to the description. Frankly, there is a truckload of it in this song. I genuinely don't mean that to be disparaging, and I know there is great diversity among the tens of thousands of female greek actives. 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.

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.

Agree with this.
