I just wish I could recall the name of the college...anyway, I fear and am suspicious of sororities. If I meet a girl/woman who identifies herself as such I always wonder what their deal is. Couldn't they get friends on their own and had to join a gang to have built-in friends?

I think that there is a lot of that still going on however as BigV stated, DaughterofV is in a sorority. We are in no means "rich", which is a big stereotype. She works her ass off to get merit in the house, she has held the position of Parlimentarian and is now the Standards Chair. The house is very serious, as is the university, on upholding GPAs or you get the boot.

Partying is still an element anywhere but not just on Greek Row. All over every campus. As in evidence by the great game of beer pong I got to play on campus during Mom's Weekend last weekend.
Followed by a fantastic concert by Elton John.

I don't think I could deal with a Beer Pong game with one of my kids.

[classicman]

I don't think I would want to. S-ok tho different strokes for different folks.

Can I join the Cellarity please?
If you blackball me I'll just go and start up my own anyway, so you may as well let me in.

Warning - I don't do hair-holding. If you're gonna puke you're on your own babe.
I do have a lovely wide shoulder for crying on though.

Tink & V - very interesting to hear the other side of it from people with personal knowledge. I admit I've only ever heard/ seen the stereotyped images before. I can see that properly run, female students working together and looking out for eachother is really positive.

I expect the Cellarity to focus on drunken misbehaviour though.

Yes Tink I'm sure your daughters sorority is not like the others!

I know exactly what they are like and they do fall into the steroetype. Just saying that they also put a lot of emphasis on academics as well. The kids are held to a standard and if they fall below that standard and do not rectify the situation, they get the boot. That is the side of Greek that people do not see until they are directly involved.

Trust me, we were cleaning up a lot of Friday night.

I also have the added benefit of having open conversations with my daughter so not much goes by the wayside. Albeit, I know there are some things I prefer NOT to know. I am not easily fooled as V can attest to.

My freshman year of college, as an early acceptance, I was put onto a floor that was mostly dedicated to a sorority, upperclassmen, with a few of us freshmen on that floor. All my buddies joined. It was a smallish private college in the middle of nowhere, there was not much to do. I admit, I joined too. My mother so did not want me to. She was right.

The values? Please. Once my money ran out it was all over. What do you mean you can't spend 300 bucks for a pretty pin and 400 for a preppy sweater?

Also, I couldn't get on board with the whole pepperjack cheese sex I heard so much about. I'm only partially kidding.

The frats, however, found ways to finance brothers who fell on hard times.

What makes the news? Scandal, titillation, gossip... What doesn't make the news? Philanthropy, community service, fellowship. I don't dispute that the "girls gone wild" stereotype has some basis in fact. But I think the attention given to that aspect is way out of proportion to its prevalence or relevance. It's possible to look for bad, and find it, in any organization. I don't have any prurient interests to satisfy, so I don't bother focusing on those aspects. To each his own.

There's considerable comedy potential here, though.
