Here’s my opinion of the ‘Sorority Chicks that Look like Barbie’ and ‘Fraternity Dudes that Look like A&F Models’ threads: I think they’re harmless.

We have so many threads out there that talk about how Greeks have great GPAs, great social skills, we do wonderful things for the community, we’re leaders, etc. Hey, guess what??? We’re good looking, too. We never talk about that because it’s not “pc”. Why shouldn’t we? Is it so wrong to admit that every single person in this world judges people based on their looks? You’d be lying if you say you didn’t. Personality, intelligence, money (joking), and other such qualities are extremely important but, if you met someone who you were not physically attracted to, in fact they repulsed you, would their awesome personality make up for it? No.

Anyway, I think us girls are having a lot of fun in the A&F thread. But, I can understand why some of the women are getting upset about the Barbie thread (Corina made an excellent point). The girls have only said how hot the guys are in the pictures posted while the guys have been critiquing the women in the pictures. I’m not ragging on the GC guys because I don’t think they meant any harm in what they were doing. I think that we all basically witnessed the difference in the way men and women view the opposite sex. Girls usually don’t sit around staring at pictures of guys and pointing out their flaws (we reserve that for criticizing other women…meeeeeeeeowww!). Many of the guys I know will look a picture of a girl and say, “Yeah, she’s cute but her smile is a little crooked…..” Men are more visual creatures than women by nature.

After my long tangent, I’d say that while I don’t think that the thread is the most enlightening thing on GC, I don’t think it’s harmful either. I know that some GCers are worried about what PNMs might think of Greeks if they were to see these threads. Honestly, there’s a lot worse on GC than those two threads. Take a gander at the Dating & Relationships forum. We’ve had some VERY taboo topics in that forum.

They're posting pictures of beautiful women. The thread just got a little carried away by some of the comments that have since been deleted. If those men and women featured in the pictures were to come onto this site, I think many would be flattered. Especially the guys in the A&F thread. They've had a bunch of women drooling over them!!!!

Boys, have fun posting your hot sorority girl pics and us girls will have some fun posting our hot fraternity boy pics.

Corina, I totally agree with you. Let's call a spade a spade.

I think it's pretty silly that the word "feminist" is still being used as a slur. Although I don't often post here, I read the forums religiously, and I would wager that the majority of you all are feminists. If you believe that women should be allowed to vote, hold government offices, make the same amount of money doing the same jobs as men, receive the same level of healthcare as men do, and generally be treated as equal to men in the eyes of society and the law, then guess what? You're a feminist! I see lots of gutsy, empowered Greek women posting here. We're feminists, too. The mere act of establishing a Greek-letter fraternity for women when there were none was a pro-woman -- a FEMINIST -- action.

Sorry to hijack, but I felt it needed to be said.

It's all about ME!!

For anyone who is offended by this thread: it's my fault. I was getting really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really annoyed with the 8 zillion conference threads since none of them contained my sorority and people seemed to like pointing that out. So my dear friend James decided to do a satire. If you didn't get that point, sorry.

And just as a side note, the old pic of our Beta Sigma chapter is the most Barbie pic I have ever seen. And as another side note, what happened to P.J.? She was like Barbie's cool stoner friend.

At Barbie's family tree you can read all about Barbie's friends and see the names and their appearance dates, including PJ.

Another interesting find from the same website:

Quote:
Barbie® doll is a good ol’ "American Girl" in 1965. Her hairdo is the popular Pageboy cut with bangs, available in several hair colors. Her fashions are inspired by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, and offer a chic and sophisticated look. Some of the ensembles from this year are Saturday Matinee, Tickle Pink, Fraternity Dance, and Country Club Dance.

Cut us a fricking break.

There are other threads but you posted in this. There is even one on Fraternity A&F models but you posted in this. That one probably has more pictures and if it doesn't it definitely has more girls acting "hungry".

Discretion has nothing to do with your GLO. Most people on this website are here to share Greek information and chit chat as well. Of course you can chit chat everywhere but if you're not in a GLO, it makes no sense to be here. Good day.

--And you could have always sent a PM instead of posting to start with.

Wow I must have missed in the terms of service that Rudey wrote it and can define where people can and cannot post. I didn't know you were so interested in me that you've paid attention to my affiliation. I just don't put it out there because I have this thing called discretion.

Colonist - go on with the name calling, it gives you lots of credibility way to represent your Sigma Chi interest group. I am sure they'd be thrilled to see how you represent them.

decadence - the thread is harmless in your opinion, but there is more to it than saying people are pretty. Posts that were hurtful were already deleted. There is a risk management section on this site and eating disorders are mentioned, where do you think many of these young women get the feeling they aren't pretty or skinny enough? You have read rush threads and you know how lookist the US greek system is in many areas.

I haven't participated in the threads about how men look and I won't. People complain about the "who is the best at your school", but accept this as fun. This is the same, people will get upset, and it is right out there on the start of the site where anyone can see it. Why not stop with the greek stereotypes and find something that is positive? What is really being presented here to potential new members and anyone else that comes along here?

I know I am not the only person who thinks this thread is ridiculous, but I will be one of the first to say it. You have a problem, PM it, I don't want to ruin people's FUN.

Listen, screw what you think. Accept it. This isn't violating a damn rule on here OK?? If you don't like it, deal with it. By you saying it, you're opening yourself up to others telling you they don't care or that your opinion doesn't count.

The first picture is very barbie-ish. I like it bud. Nice.

-Rudey
--And I'm very conflicted in saying where anyone that isn't blonde but hot nonetheless can be a barbie...thoughts?

They look a little bit more stripper, than barbie. We'll need more pictures to come to a definitive decision.
