i haven't read from the original post, but seems things have gone down hill... maybe more fun and crazy, but less classy to the way you describe your days.

We had fun and got crazy. We just did it differently and with more modesty.

Hey now! I take offense to that. I graduated in 2005--we had fun, we did it tastefully, and we didn't need to do drugs, have illicit sexual contact, or drink excessively in order to do it!!!

How did differently and with more modesty turn into all of that?

I take offense to the line "with more modesty," since it implies that just because you graduated after 1985, you weren't modest or lady like. That kind of annoys me, because it can't be said that just because you graduated in a different time period that you were more modest than anyone else, in any other organization. That's how that turned into that.

Offense taken; annoy on.

Switched off, now. Notice of enjoyment taken from the annoyance of another person on GC. *Red Flag*

I also have to take offense here. Differently? Maybe. That's got to be true on some levels. More modesty? Can you at least explain that further? I really don't think I could say that's true.

ETA: Just to explain further, I think that everyone who is actually in college now or in the near past has stated that there is still social stigma with hooking up and it does not happen frequently [with exceptions, like always]. The skimpy clothing thing you said was also contested by several, and other people stated that in the 80's they wore micro miniskirts. So...morals are the same, and clothes are the same. How in the world could you then go on to say that there is more modesty back in the day?

I think you have taken what your niece has said as fact, when in actuality it is far from the truth. Just because she hangs out at shady places with meth and half naked people doesn't mean it's anywhere near the norm.

At least I wasn't the only one who saw that statement as a bit one-sided.

Sounds like you all were boring!

What kind of college girl doesn't enjoy tequila and put out like an electrical socket?

Wow, this thing is getting heated, I'm sure vtgreekalum is glad he waded in here! (btw, Chris, my take from hanging out here for a few months is that greek life today is still pretty much the way it was when we were younger, the kids today just have lots more hoops to jump through with risk management and they can communicate a lot faster and more efficiently than we could with all their gadgets and whatnot... otherwise, normal societal differences between "then" and "now" may translate into your son/daughters having a very similar or very different experience from you, depending on their campus)

Benz, I think you need to throw up a LOLcat and bug on outta here!
