I can't speak for NPHC sororities (the governing body of historically black frats and srats), but as an alumna of an NPC sorority, how much an alum stays involved varies from person to person. I pay my alumna dues ($35 a year, not the thousands you pay as an undergrad), help advise a local chapter, attend reunions…

Can I be the reason not to have kids at weddings? Because in third grade, I was an excellent reason.

You make sense, especially since you're young. My brother is a doctoral candidate looking to be a professor and he definitely wouldn't be caught dead with my Camelbak. But he's much more fashion conscious and stylish than I am, so there's that.

I'm generally not a fan of pants, so, as a woman, I get the privilege of it being socially acceptable to wear skirts and dresses. My standard "uniform" is a dress, cardigan, and flats. I'm not sure if that's a suit equivalent, but it's dressy enough to satisfy my boss and separate me from my students. I rock my…

Is that some weird rule you adhere to or your college's policy? I'm a high school teacher, and I rock my bright pink Camelbak all day, every day. No one's ever said a thing about it.

It took you six days to craft that reply? Dude, get a life.

I'm an alumna of a VA (not UVA) chapter, and I work with an NC chapter as an AAC. I love our organization (otherwise I wouldn't stay with it), but I genuinely believe that a lot of our alumnae, as you said, need to sit down and be quiet. Parties are fun, recruitment is crazy important, and image is crucial, but…

I really don't get why you can't understand that this piece isn't about race. Jia threw in the comment at the end about the women being white because that's the demographics of the NPC.

You can't even type "Lol" without fucking it up. I now have every answer as to why you are the way you are.

Let's dissect everything wrong with this, shall we?

You're still missing it. Yes, the ban was prompted by Jackie's rape case. But the NPC response, and this post, are not about the rape case. This post is about what happens when a group of predominantly white, privileged women choose to fight the wrong fight.

Chapter meetings probably weren't going on, though, anyway. I can't speak for UVA, but my chapter (of Pi Phi!) ended chapter meetings when classes ended so everyone could focus on exams.

1) A-FUCKING-MEN to your whole post.

Being white it relevant here because this is an article about sororities, not rape victims. NPC sororities are overwhelmingly white and overwhelmingly from higher SES homes.

I'm a proud sorority alumna and still work with my organization. The "Greek bashing" is 100% deserved and I hope Jezebel keeps it up. This NPC "response" to UVA's non-punishment is bullshit, and I'm glad to see it blowing up in its face.

The crunchy, granola types tend to be associated with doing drugs. However, so does just about the entire culinary world. It's a 2 for 2, basically.

In college, my one housemate, her boyfriend (who we called the Mary Poppins of pot), and I made pot brownies. The infusing of the oil with the pot reeked to high fucking heaven, but the completed brownies only smelled and tasted like brownies. I can attest to this because my other housemate (who was not present for…

But Theresa is totally a COOL MOM

She's not discouraging women from going to the police. She's saying that victims should have the option of going to the police. For many victims, contacting law enforcement can be a painful process, a second round of trauma, and it could very well lead nowhere. Victims need to be 100% in charge of how they choose to…

I'm going to answer you in hopes that you're not an MRA wingnut who'll attempt to gaslight me for explaining. The thing you're missing is actually in the middle of your post:
