I'm not going to lie, I can see why people are angry but I thought it was funny. Let's be honest, this type of thing happens behind closed doors pretty often. It was incredibly stupid for them to think that there would be no reprocussions if they made it public, and I fully fault them for that. But if this had been a pump-up song before recruitment that had stayed within the chapter I would have had no problem with it. I know that's probably a controversial view on this board, but a little competition can be fun and get people riled up.

I did a little "research" (aka a gossip site) and the sororities they mention are their biggest competitors during recruitment. If they had been doing this to struggling chapters I would have been upset, but this seems like friendly rivalry (albeit classless friendly rivalry). I personally would have been amused and not too upset if a sorority had mentioned my chapter in a similar song, especially because I would have made the assumption based on the other chapters mentioned that we were seen as competitors by DG.

So to sum up my argument, incredibly stupid and classless to make this public. But I don't have any issues with the song persay...it is pretty obvious to me it was in jest and not malicious.

And count me in with the group that has been saying if boys did this it wouldn't even be a blip on the radar.
