"Southern" Sororities?

Don't get me wrong, greek life is great, but its not the end all, at least for most people I know. Then again, southern greeks tend to join a fraternity or sorority because of how they are, not because they desire to become something else. I didn't join a fraternity because I needed a life altering experience. I joined because people like me tend to do that, its part of growing up. Its a good way to make lifelong friends, strong connections, and to have a great time in some of the best collegiate environments in the country. Thus, a term like sorostitute is not gonna shake most people to the core down here.

This guy (you ARE a guy whereas most of us typing to you aren't--yet you keep using "guys") types like he's the only Southern GLO member on this board.

You have never heard or used the term "guys" when referring to a group of people.......like "hey guys, what are you doing?"

I tend to walk into a room full of men and say "hey gals."

They're usually thrilled to be called gals, since "gals" is the generic term for all human beings.

I've never heard the term "fratdaddy" at all. The only thing that comes to mind when I hear that is Fry Daddy, which I wouldn't want to be associated with either if I were a guy. What the hell is fratdaddy supposed to mean, anyway? It doesn't have any of the same negative connotation to it that "sororstitute" does.

I'm sorry you have never heard the term. I take it you aren't from the South or don't go to school in the South?

..........and I don't associate with GDI's, so I wouldn't know. Thanks.

Thanks smartass.

I would assume its a location type thing maybe? Perhaps along the same lines as Coke, Soda, Pop, etc.

I dunno, i've never actually been around someone that would actually make some kind of issue out of it. Congratulations.

Prostitution is legal in Las Vegas.

She said she had never heard the term "fratdaddy"....which was really surprising to me, especially being in an NPC sorority. So I asked if she was in the South. I wasn't talking about the word "sorostitute."


I am usually with my fraternity brothers, girls in sororities, or other friends in fraternities. There is rarely a time when I am with a GDI...so no, I really don't associate with them. Don't see how i'm self-proclaimed "high society."

Because you typed to me about never having been around people who have an issue with a particular thing. As if THAT is the sole determinant of what you deem to be right or wrong.

[macallan25]

I said I have never been around anyone that actually made an issue out of calling a group of people "guys". I didn't know this was a right and wrong thing.

Now you know. I hope this was informative.

You seem to be having a really hard time understanding that there are people in this thread who disagree with you are FROM THE SOUTH. Sheesh. It's really not that hard to grasp. I will lay it out for you:

I am from the South. Lived here forever. I went to undergrad at a large conservative PWI Southern university. I have close friends in NPHC, IFC, and NPC sororities and fraternities. I have NEVER heard anyone, jokingly or seriously, use the word "sorostitute" IRL. I find the word offensive and it amazes me that it is a term that people would use regularly, especially sorority women.

He was talking about using "guys."

I initially thought he was talking about "sorostitute" too because, although he quoted me, his post seemed to apply "across the board."

Its not wrong to use the term "guys" in general reference to a group of people. Hope this was informative.
