UF DG on a boat....

[AOII Angel]

Ha Ha...can they look more moronic singing such an overdone song that has already been subtitled with really nasty lines about binging at golden coral?! They opened themselves up for a lot of ridicule. I don't think they will get the effect they wished for with this one. Seriously...if you're really that great, do you have to flip off the AOII house to prove it?

I'll pull a gender card here and say if some dudes made this we'd have a chuckle and move on.

Exactly, I think this stems from how women perceive sorority membership and how we govern ourselves in regards to the NPC. Even if we dislike the XYZs or the ABCs we try and keep each other accountable for how our behavior affects other NPC groups, as it reflects on us as a whole. This isn't to say we don't say things about another group but we do it privately and try and promote sororities and greek life as a whole.

In juxtaposition men's groups do whatever they want in regards to colonization and recruitment, and if one fraternity did this [I]maybe[I] the local IFC would care, but they aren't of a culture of working together and having a group that has unanimous agreements everyone follows. It would likely be labeled "boys being boys" and still not regarded as a bright idea, but not as offensive, insulting, or tacky.

This is further tied to gender socialization behavior and expectations as women are expected to be nice and be kind, in an idea of sisterhood that we need to unite to better women as a whole, though we are likely to rip each other down. If men made a video with the same words discussing women's groups it would be offensive, but not a backstabbing act against other women, and therefore as outrageous as this is.

I'd find men doing this just as dumb, and a way to alienate a sorority (or more) that would socialize with them. Whereas the women here (all three of them) have embarrassed their chapter and school, but it likely won't affect men choosing to partner with them outside of sanctions against official events. It will probably not hurt them in recruitment either if they are still having events with perceived top men's group, though other sororities and people who see this elsewhere will have a negative connotation for awhile. Women have far more to lose overall with this behavior than men, but everyone should realize recording this is dumb and like a sex tape it will get out and there will be consequences even if you weren't involved.

The funny thing about it is, had they just filmed it and kept it to themselves, it would just be a funny joke between sisters.

But since they wanted to be YouTube stars, they're going to face consequences.

Moral of the story: just because you filmed it and it's funny, doesn't mean it needs to be out there for millions of people to see. Everyone (including your HQ) is not going to have the same opinion.

DG headquarters is cracking up and poplocking while they mail out those disciplinary action reports.

[Senusret I]

If they get expelled from their sorority, I am starting a FREE THE DG 3 movement.

[JohnnyCash]

Damn, whatever. It's funnier my version lol

[BabyPiNK_FL]

Exactly how common are these types of songs? My chapter never had any when I joined and still doesn't. I've never heard of such things before.

ZTAngel-You said what I was thinking...

My chapter never had any such songs either.

I could care less whether the DGs and the other sororities don't like each other, or whatever, I just think its dumb to 1) film it and 2) post it (or leave it) where people can see it. They should be kicked out of DG for just being plain stupid.

[gee_ess]

Okay, I am really frustrated...can't find it on youtube. Anyone care to tell me what I should search under? I think I am youtube challenged.

[kchaptergphib]

I guess we're too late. I've been searching on and off for about 20 min, too. They must have taken it down by now.

There is a link to it posted earlier in this thread.

[JMUdeegee]

gee_ess... everything I'm seeing is leading to a message that says "Removed at request of Delta Gamma Fraternity" so I'm assuming EO has heard about this, and they're unhappy, and doing some SERIOUS damage control.

[FSUZeta]

txchrissy found the video on the gainesvillian. check out page 2 in this thread.

i'm glad i got to see it, but it is just stupid. i'm sure that it was made in jest and was not intended to be put on youtube for any and all to see. folks just have to remember that it's a big, wide internet world out there.

[agzg]

I talked plenty of smack on other sororities when I was a collegian, I think we all might have. Not the point.

Idiot girls RECORDED IT, and put it on the internet. Once again, I hope they do face disciplinary action!

Kinda like that girl with the hook-up list on facebook - if you don't want "outsiders" to see it, don't put it out there (or record it/write it down).

[honeychile]

I sometimes think that I'm the last person on earth who understands what a private joke is all about.

Agree with all those who said that the concept isn't new, but the video taping/posting it on the Internet is a special kind of stupid.
