You know what's almost as bad as hearing another group rip on your sorority? Being the president of your sorority & receiving a call from the pledge trainer of the other sorority on campus, telling you that several of her pledges heard some of your pledges singing a song in the Greek store near campus that was very disparaging of them (and they had ended up calling their pledge trainer in tears). She wouldn't give me any names (although I know she knew all of our pledges b/c she would have known them from rush), but still, I have never been so angry at my sisters for (a) being stupid enough to teach those songs to new members (btw, I hate those songs, no matter who is singing them) and (b) for being so classless as to actually sing them in a public place where they would absolutely be heard by members of other organizations!
The funny thing is, that we were usually the butt of their rude/unflattering comments, so it was very hard for me to not say "see how it feels?" The actives who taught the song to the pledges were disciplined, and the entire pledge class was counseled to watch the way they portray the group/treat others as you would like to be treated...all of them responded that they had heard similar things from the other group & thought it was fair game.made me feel horrible. Of course, of all the times I had heard such things from the other group's members, it had never occurred to me to call their president...after that incident, I wondered why they should expect us to treat them any differently than they treated us? Fortunately, we didn't have any more incidents like that while I was there (although the other group still made publicly disparaging comments about us).
Women can definitely be beeyatchs.
