I wasn't miss informed. She does have a point, girls that parents' pay $20, $30, $40 k a semester have more stict of parents and better behaved. They have more pressure on them to succeed than school that cost less than $10 a semester. I am not saying you have to be rich to go to a school that is expensive but if you are then you probally have been taught how to act in society and being a heavy legacy chapter you are more prideful about your image. I am sure her chapter has had wild parties and aren't always perfect "Angels" but if they get caught they would have more to lose so they over all act better. As far as being insultive maybe it was rude but it isn't a lie, everyone knows the 5 sororities you go to in Tennessee and most of the South. The truth doesn't have to be cotton candy skies and skittle trees.

No, but it does have to be true.
I'm bored and can't sleep so for kicks I corrected some of the errors in your post. You are welcome.

If everyone knows the five sororities one goes to in Tennessee and most of the South, then why doesn't every school south of Mason-Dixon have these five and no others? And it isn't only rich people who know how to "act in society." In my experience, it's the so-called rich who act up - they know they can buy their way out of trouble. Those of us who aren't rich know we are responsible for our words and actions and that any trouble we get into will follow us, maybe not for life, but certainly through our college careers.

ETA: My sorority is about as Northern as it gets, having been founded in Maine. Why, then do we have thriving chapters at both Memphis and Tennessee if we are not one of the southern Favored Five?

"Miss Informed" would know what she is talking about. You are misinformed.

Well bless your heart for sharing. Now we all know that the way things work in your hillbilly neck of the woods (where people apparently lack class, manners and basic language skills) is the way things work everywhere. Your little hamlet is the center of western civilization. You are not Greek. You have no basis for your ridiculous assumptions. Now go back to the University of Memphis, take some remedial classes, move out of your mommy's house and pray that some sorority might possibly take you someday.

Are you fucking kidding me?????? If anything, it's the reverse.

Although you certainly right about not being Miss Informed.

That's a bit of a stretch. I don't really see a correlation either way. Some rich parents are strict, some poor parents are strict. Some rich parents are lax, some poor parents are lax. Additionally, just because the school is expensive doesn't mean everyone that goes there is loaded. Some people are willing to be $100K+ in debt upon graduation.

Besides, having strict parents does NOT automatically mean the children are well behaved. In my experience, strict parents have rebellious kids who go crazy when they get to college, which may be the case here.

This woman from my town is super Catholic, goes to Latin mass every day, always stirring up trouble with the public schools regarding the required reading, etc. But guess what? Her 3 sons all do drugs and are always in trouble with the cops and school.

In summary, expensive school =/= rich parents =/= strict parents =/= well-behaved kids
