May I also submit an addendum banning the crap with "hubby" or "hubs"?

Anecdata fun times: In my sorority, conformity started and ended with rush. You went through the dress checks, you followed the rules (some of which were ours, some of which were Panhel's; none of which were as involved as these PowerPoints), got very little sleep for a week, and then it was over. And for all of…
You realize you replied to yourself, yes?
Now who needs remedial English? It wasn't an insult. That's literally the term for non-Greeks, and Greeks don't give a shit what non-Greeks think about Greek life.
Thanks for (wrongly) assuming I'm still in college, asshole. Or are you unfamiliar with the meaning of the word "alumna"?
Why would I need to go to my sisters for this? I've got more than enough self confidence to know that the judgment of Random Internet Commenter is meaningless.
I'm sorry your parents are offended. I know claiming ignorance is worth shit, but I honestly don't know why fraternities (which came before sororities) chose Greek when naming their organizations. To sound fancy and academic, maybe? I'd love to hear what various Greek people would like to see the names changed to.…
0/10. Troll better next time.
Do the world a favor, scroll up thread. See the part where I wrote about my organization's letters being meaningless in Greek? Good.
No. Until I see an email that says something along the lines of "POC are gross! Don't give them shit with our name on it!" I'm not just going to assume that the woman/women behind this email is/are racist. Hate sororities and the women who join them to your heart's content, but there simply was no racism in that email.
No. Jesus fucking christ on a goddamn cracker, no. You, as someone who is on the outside of Greek life, do not get to tell me what rules of "etiquette" we, on the inside, should follow and enforce. Fuck off.
Ok, so you want to judge me for joining, liking, and defending an organization you don't like. Would it make you feel better to know that, SHOCKER, my sorority affiliation isn't the only thing I have going for me? I have a career, I have a social life, I have hobbies, etc. Judging me based on one aspect of "what I do"…
I meant that I did not choose to end up caring so much about my sorority. I signed up for rush because ~90% of the women at my small school go Greek and the girls in this one house (the one I joined) seemed chill. In the end, it wound up being one of the best decisions I made as an undergrad.
And no one cares what some independent thinks about Greek life
Oh, no! Someone on the Internet doesn't like me! Whatever shall I do?!
I have never heard of saluting/burning t-shirts, but if that's a thing somewhere in Greek life it's absolutely insulting and should be halted ASAP. Most of the non-insane sorority women I know simply turn our piles and piles of t-shirts into t-shirt quilts or some other Pinterest-y type memorabilia. Most of the frat…
What part of being proud of my organization is me "wanting to be a brand"? My organization has a brand, but I am not that brand. I feel perfectly human, and I'm not even sure what the ever loving fuck "existentially inauthentic" is supposed to mean. I'm doing me, which feels pretty damn authentic.
I just literally went into the independent significance of my organization. There's no rigidity in repeating facts. My organization has supported and empowered women for almost 150 years, and I hope it will continue to do so for another 150.
It's okay. Apparently you can't be a proud sorority woman and a feminist at the same time on the internet. Good to know. Lesson learned.
Oh, fuck off.
