Sorority Girls: Hollywood vs. Reality

Unless it was a documentary, how does the physical attractiveness of a bunch of actors accurately depict sorority girls from a certain era?

Your question is just kind of dumb... why are you here? What made you go through the effort of creating an account?

But in real life, now a days, sorority girls aren't that good looking like they once were at one time, or like Hollywood depicts them to be. I've seen quite a few fat ones, but Hollywood doesn't depict them to look like that. Why is this? Do sororities see their numbers getting smaller? Because they seem to not care anymore what the girls look like, like they once did. I see a lot of fat ones and it's kind of disappointing.

I doubt that there is a NPC or NPHC sorority or a local or multi-cultural or any other group that has taken "being hot" as a mission statement. Sororities don't exist to cater to guys or to the male gaze.

If sorority women aren't to your taste, move on.

Not really trying to slam Delta Zeta, but their national office reportedly had a hand in this:

Mission Statement or not, there are members of a particular NPHC sorority and fraternity who spend a lot of time nationally and internationally talking about how pretty they are. Even the unattractive ones.

If you have tell people that you're hot that kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

It's like money and class, if you have to tell people you are, you aren't.

Don't ask me. Ask them.

I think a lot of it depends on the campus. At FSU, it was the Zetas that were fine. But then, when some bruhs and I would travel to other chapters as visiting bruhs, the Zetas at some of those schools were fat. I don't think there is one particular organization where every girl in one sorority at every chapter looks good. With NPHC frats, you won't find too many ugly NUPES, though lol. And if you do, he's got mad Konfidence.

Right.

and... shiddddddd. Some of these Nupes are Nopes. but again, everyone isn't hot everywhere.

Because, Sigmas everywhere don't look like this:

That depends.

I consider 95% of the Kappas I have seen across chapters and across states to be unattractive, unsexy, and trying way too hard to seem confident.

Why am I here? That question wasn't very bright, either. I'm here to chat just like you are. I'm not sure why I was banned though.


I agree. I'm sure the founders of sororities didn't wake up and join up with hot girls to start a sorority. I was just wondering where it came from. It started from somewhere, because at one time most sorority girls were really hot. Today, I don't know what happened.


Seriously. I know you think I'm joking, but I kid you not. A friend of mine who I graduated with lives in a trailer park. I visit her every now and then. She recently told me that some Kappa Deltas were renting a double wide trailer across from her. I think she said there were 7 or 9 girls living in there. I saw them and they are PWT at its best. I saw the trailer too. It had the Kappa Delta letters on it and everything. It was a pretty cool trailer.

Move on. Clearly you are far too good for the likes of us.

If you were banned, it was because you are a pig.

Maybe I said something I shouldn't have, but I don't recall that.

I'm going assume for the sake argument that you really are clueless and not a troll. I doubt it, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I've known a few stupid, creepy guys who needed an education.

Here's where you are going wrong:

1. You assume that women in old movies represent some sort of reality. They're not. They're idealized fantasy images. They always have been. Even in the women in Playboy, gorgeous as they undoubtedly are in real life, are made up, well lit, airbrushed, Photoshopped, and shot in soft focus. There is not time in history in which this was not true.

2. You proceeded to describe Greek women in general as fat and trailer trash. Regardless of whether that was true or not, it's offensive and rude to say something like that to members of the group that you are denigrating. The only thing that it leads to is "No, we're not." "Yes, you are." "No, we're not." "Yes, you are." Gentlemen don't describe women in these terms.

3. When you were told to knock it off and then banned, you came back to double down on your rude, offensive behavior by describing a specific group of Kappa Delta women who you view as "poor white trash." Again, gentlemen don't describe women in these terms.

4. After being so incredibly judgmental and rude that you were BANNED for it, you return you now say that you don't view yourself as better than the women you are judging. Here's a clue: if you judge someone negatively, you are expressing a feeling that you are superior to them and have the right to judge them. By judging the appearance of women, you are relegating them to an inferior role as a sex object.

5. You seem completely unaware that Greek women exist for a reason other than to be sexually appealing to men in general and you in particular. As I said "Be hot" is not in the mission statement of most orgs.
