I'm youthfully almost 31 but I expect some undergrads to contextually think I'm old. That will shape how they perceive our views on certain topics.

"When I was in school...."

Meant in all good fun, :themeofthehour........but seriously.

Yeah, that's what I mean. You're an old too.

So maybe sorostitute is the more common spelling.

Wow. #5. Am I the only one who had never heard the term "whorority" before? I think my eyeballs about rolled out of my head when I read it.

Urban dictionary will clue you in on all kinds of words you probably 1.) have never heard before and 2.) wish you hadn't heard now.

[Thetagirl218]

If somebody uttered the term this thread is about I would probably punch them in the face..... Not very sorority girl like, but hey its the truth!

[fantASTic]

Honestly? I don't like to hear it. But if I DO hear it, I will conduct myself with grace as is befitting to counteract a stereotype that is all too often imposed on Greek women.

Personally, I like to encourage the person to put his/her foot further into his/her mouth. Then announce that I'm a sorority member and watch him/her get embarrassed and try to backpedal. Like this one time, a guy was talking to me at a party. He said something about disliking frat boys and sorostitutes. So I was like, "Well, what exactly is it that you hate about them?" So I let him go off on this long rant, rattling off every stereotype about fraternity and sorority members. Then after he's done ranting, I go "You know I'm in a sorority, right?" He got flustered and quickly said "Oh, well, I'm sure you're different. I'm sure you're not like the typical sorority girl." So I said, "Well, according to you, all there is to sorority girls is wearing black pants, going out on the weekends, and spending tons of time with sorority sisters. Well, if that's all it takes, then I guess I'm just a typical sorority girl. Too bad, you'll never get to know the real me." And I walked away.

i couldnt find a good "oh snap" gif, so i opted for:


p.s. i cant imagine the phrase "sorostitute" being actually used. i feel like you'd be waiting for the right time to use it. and thats lame.

Maybe it's because I went to a school where Greek life is huge and also in the middle of nowhere. If you're over 21, you can go to the bars. But if you're under 21, your only options are frat parties or apartment parties. It's not like attending school in the city, where underage kids can go to 18+ clubs. My freshmen year, I attended Pitt. Since we were in the city, even if you didn't know anyone in a frat or know any upperclassmen throwing apartment parties, you still had places to go...places you could get into. In fact, there was a 18+ club right down the street (can't remember the name of it...only been there once and we thought it was kinda lame), but at least it was somewhere to go if you didn't have any parties you could go to.

Being around brothers, i know the kinds of things we call each other. Playing devils advocate here:

considering how a poster claimed that women deserve better and have fought for equality and such, isnt being called derogatory names, names guys use to refer to each other in jest, the ultimate form of inclusion and equality? If guys are treating girls like guys, isnt it a sign of the acceptance of womens equality?

Now, that being said, i have only ever heard the term being used to reference the actives of a specific person, not a group as a whole.

[SWTXBelle]

Men can keep the whole calling each other derogatory names thing. I'm pretty sure that's not what my founders were acting as pioneers in higher education in order to obtain - I'd like to think they fought for the right to an equal education.

now how exactly does that answer my point made above? sluts are sluts no matter where you go to school. if she's in a sorority, well then so be it.

Not in that sense.

However, part of gender equality is having the equal ability to tell a man to "fugg off" if need be without being called a "PMSing, man hating biatch." So if men can dish the namecalling, hopefully they can also take it.

From one of the better rappers (very few of them):
"when people speculate about what Pac would say
You don't know shit about a dead man's perspective."

Don't assume...I'm not saying you're not right, but I'm pretty sure that's a fallacious argument.

My post was kinda in response to your "p.s. i cant imagine the phrase "sorostitute" being actually used. i feel like you'd be waiting for the right time to use it. and thats lame." I never heard the word when I was at Pitt. When I was at PSU, I've only heard the word once from a Greek and he was just joking around with me. All the other times I've heard it, it's been from non-Greeks...and it's usually been in regards to parties (either not getting in or having to deal with all the drunken people walking around outside being loud and not watching where they're going)...usually saying something along the lines of "stupid frat boys and sorostitutes".



ETA (because in rereading, I see my post might still be kinda unclear): Basically, my post was about people who generalize about the entire Greek system. If someone is using the term sorostitute to refer to a particular individual engaging in questionable behavior, then it's not going to matter what school it's at. My point was that the term may not be heard as much at schools with smaller Greek systems where Greek life isn't as in-your-face. But at a school with a larger Greek system, Greek life may be more in-your-face and may inspire more hatred for no reason (i.e. people hating on Greeks without ever taking the time to find out what Greek life is all about or taking the time to get to know any Greeks).
