Books could be written on what I didn't know about race in America as an 18 year old white girl.

Books could be written on what I didn't know about race in America (race, ethnicity, and culture around the world) as an 18 year old young Black woman.

Books are being written about what I continue to learn about these topics.

That's the beauty of being able to pass for either when the mood strikes. And there are no doubt still books that could be written on what you don't know as a menopausal shrew.

I am going to give you a very good piece of advice. I would strongly suggest you dial back the insults - as a pnm who has already posted identifying information on this site you really don't want to run the risk of insulting long-time GreekChatters who 1.) have mad detective skills and 2.) have contacts like you wouldn't believe. You would not be the first pnm to think she was unidentifiable and "bulletproof" to be left wondering why her recruitment came to a crashing halt on the day she was dropped by all the chapters.

Oh I don't think she really has to worry about this meanness not being shared already. It's very nice when PNMs show people who they really are before recruitment!

No. The last bastion of those who don't really have anything to say is actually name-calling. You know, like

Not to mention the very real possibility that sorority members from the school she'll be attending could well be reading this thread and forming opinions based on the insults.

I think that in a deferred recruitment scenario, these women often unwittingly out themselves over the course of a semester.

I just watched the Paula Deen-Matt Lauer interview and thought it was compelling. Lauer asked tough questions, and, undeterred by her tears, asked the follow-ups that were necessary, which was good. I thought she answered honestly, and sincerely.

I was a fan of PD before, so her comments and thoughts caught me off guard. But given her sincerity, and in looking at the totality of her life, I can get past this.

I wish Paula Deen better things going forward. Anyone else seen the interview? if so, thoughts?
