Journal Some Woman's Journal: Holy shit. It's true. 21

Journal by Some Woman

I hate when it turns out that I merely associate with the exceptions to a stereotype of a group that I am a part of that turns out to be true. It's like Em finding out that he can't climb that cliff with his meager front limbs.

So, there's this grand overlord group for sororities. I think we're a part of it so that we can discriminate, as opposed to being a regular student group. My friend J is the unfortunate soul who must attend these weekly meetings filled with more self-important people than a managers meeting at McDonalds.

After hearing tales of these meetings, I am forced to admit that the stereotype of sororities is 85% true. Don your best "Valley Girl" voice...

1. Every week they vote on a "Woman of Style" for that week. Past awards have included:

  1. Jessica because omigod she has like the cutest purse.
    Sarah because her skirt is soooo cute. She's like really stylish.
    Katie because she's like totally bringing back the hairbow.

I don't think it has occured to anybody else to be offended by this practice.

2. There was some sort of information that we needed to submit by last week for the website, but it wasn't very clear what it was. The girl in charge (a rare sane person) wanted to send an email to all of the groups who hadn't sent in their stuff detailing exactly what she was asking for. Another girl said "Don't bother. They're all, like, mental retards."

It's times like this that I think maybe it wouldn't be such a bad deal to admit men. But then, I'm a mental retard.

  • I don't think I'd use the same term -- WAAAAY too many people are "offended" at stuff that they shouldn't be.

    But I'm sure that none of them have stopped to think that it's just a stupid thing to do. People (especially girls) *like* popularity contests. Social critters enjoy it for the validation. And you have to realize that girls who join sororities are *definitely* in the higher eschelons of "social" creatures.

    I guess the best that you can do, SW, is sit back and feel comfortable that you are a unique
  • I swear to you, not all Panhellenic Councils are like that.
    • Ours PanHel (Penn State) is just like that. I was on the IFC Disciplinary Board for a year and we had to deal with them all the time. They tried to push us into going dry because they were mandated to. That went over like a lead zepplin. A few houses were forced to go dry by their national chapters, but the rest of us are still raging alcoholics :)

      I say all this like the IFC council is any better. It's a load of crap as well. Nearly every vote was 50-4, with me being in the dissenting side. It basic
    • And don't even get me started on how disorganized they are.

      Too late.

      So, there was this mandatory philanthropy thing (because nothing says community service like forced volunteering). Each house had to send 3 people or else they would be fined $75. We have 13 people (others have upwards of 60) and $75 is half of one person's dues. The day of mandatory volunteering fun, we had planned for our colony in Iowa to come up for the weekend. Being that there are 30 of them, we needed every person of ours that
  • My suggestion is to secretly place air-dissolvable testosterone tablets into the ventilation system. As a chemical engineer, that should be no problem for you.

    They'll be comparing mudflaps and power tools in no time, and acting incredibly rationally (you know, like men do during football games).

    I'll even release this incredibly sensible idea into the public domain.

    And remember, cooties are a lethal disease that must be stamped out.

    Cheers,

  • Gamma Sig Sig has had a male member already. Their bylaws say nothing about gender but they do say that noone can be turned away that wishes to join as long as they complete the new member curiculum. Some guy at Penn State did it. Smartest man on earth. 1 guy sharing a dorm floor with 98 women. I can just imagine the hazing where they all have to strip naked and circle their fat and stuff ;) And the pillow fights ... god the pillow fights must be great ...
