Me too. While watchng, I was floored by how absolutely STUPID they were to put that on video. Let's hope that there are some pins pulled after this fiasco. Especially after seeing the blatant disrespect in front of the other sorority houses.

How embarrassing for DGs and sorority women everywhere.

From my trip to UF I concluded most of sorority girls there are like this.

And IDGAF if it's a generalization, because it's fucking true.
Well you have met many, I have only met a few. And they all seemed sane! I have no business in G-ville, that's a hick town w/ nothing but a college to me. LOL! I'll stick to our hometown.

I'll pull a gender card here and say if some dudes made this we'd have a chuckle and move on.

Ha Ha...can they look more moronic singing such an overdone song that has already been subtitled with really nasty lines about binging at golden coral?! They opened themselves up for a lot of ridicule. I don't think they will get the effect they wished for with this one. Seriously...if you're really that great, do you have to flip off the AOII house to prove it?

Exactly, I think this stems from how women perceive sorority membership and how we govern ourselves in regards to the NPC. Even if we dislike the XYZs or the ABCs we try and keep each other accountable for how our behavior affects other NPC groups, as it reflects on us as a whole. This isn't to say we don't say things about another group but we do it privately and try and promote sororities and greek life as a whole.

In juxtaposition men's groups do whatever they want in regards to colonization and recruitment, and if one fraternity did this [I]maybe[I] the local IFC would care, but they aren't of a culture of working together and having a group that has unanimous agreements everyone follows. It would likely be labeled "boys being boys" and still not regarded as a bright idea, but not as offensive, insulting, or tacky.

This is further tied to gender socialization behavior and expectations as women are expected to be nice and be kind, in an idea of sisterhood that we need to unite to better women as a whole, though we are likely to rip each other down. If men made a video with the same words discussing women's groups it would be offensive, but not a backstabbing act against other women, and therefore as outrageous as this is.

I'd find men doing this just as dumb, and a way to alienate a sorority (or more) that would socialize with them. Whereas the women here (all three of them) have embarrassed their chapter and school, but it likely won't affect men choosing to partner with them outside of sanctions against official events. It will probably not hurt them in recruitment either if they are still having events with perceived top men's group, though other sororities and people who see this elsewhere will have a negative connotation for awhile. Women have far more to lose overall with this behavior than men, but everyone should realize recording this is dumb and like a sex tape it will get out and there will be consequences even if you weren't involved.

...wonder if "Jerry" is their pledge mom, and "PC '09" is this fall's pledge class?

There is a Jenni Skinner from UF on Facebook.

What the heck does this mean?

"I’m lookin fly, you at Sigma Chi straight lookin’ proper"

Did we get dissed* or was that a complement?

(* Or whatever turn of phrase the kids use now to show disrespect.)

It was a compliment. When you are "lookin' proper" it essentially means you are looking good.

This is freaking hilarious. Whiter than white girls trying to act gangsta are always hilarious.

They're dumb as hell to let it get out - but everyone on your high horse, get real. This is hardly the first time one sorority said something mean about another one. They just didn't put it on a video for all the net to see. They should be disciplined for being stupid and indiscreet, but if you want to start kicking people out for being unpanhellenic, we'll have a very small Greek system very quickly.

Quoted for truth.

I think they were dissing KD because they're the "proper, classy" sorority at UF- meaning they don't know how to party.
