Or at their next national convention, they vote in some new leadership who interprets that rule a bit differently, and reaches out to repair the damage done by the bigot currently in charge.

Because for most Greeks the experience of their house is 100% at the local level. Unless you're the chapter president or something, you very rarely have any contact with national whatsoever, and haven't read the national charter and by-laws unless a new one happens to be enacted while you're a member and is sent…

I have yet to meet a religious person that doesn't selectively ignore bits of their own religion. That's par for the course.

But "don't be gay" is a discriminatory rule that I'm sure the University of Berkeley would not have actually allowed in their by-laws. So I'd bet it's not even an actual rule.

And do add to this, greek organizations are a specific sort of club, that values tradition and history very highly. Starting out with "we want to be exactly like them except not bigots" doesn't really provide a solid base to establish tradition from. Additionally, being initiated as a sister of one house generally…

Mine has a particular interest in martinis! I don't know what it is, maybe she just can't tell the difference between gin and water, but she always tries to steal my martinis when I make them.

god no.

while questioning every step of the way what medical school she went to, where in her class she finished, where she did her residency, has she ever seen a case like this before, etc. etc.

oh no, I'm going with early 30's. I'm picturing a NiceGuy™ who still thinks he's not sexist because actually he "worships" women.

I've seen both sides of this one too. I volunteered for a no-kill rescue group years ago, and we had the same chow come back to us multiple times. We didn't rule out apartment-dwellers for every dog, but for this one we did. Several times people lied to us about this issue (she was a huge, beautiful dog with great…

Just a dose of realism: it takes a fair amount of time for publications with so many different sections and articles to sort through their web content. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt that these decisions will be reflected within the next few months.

Then that's their decision as parents. You (and I) may not agree with it, but at least the people responsible for those kids is the one who gets to decide, not some stalker with a camera.

I dislike how much imitation she's doing here. I just prefer when an artist brings their own voice to the piece instead of trying to copy every note of the original down to the riffs.

apparently there were a whole bunch of sequels and a really terrible TV show, and eventually Elizabeth was the one who got screwed over. Yet again.

Does it also identify your ideal divorce date based on your friends' divorce dates too? Because that seems the logical extension of this...

I never had a ton of warm fuzzies towards Julia Roberts, but taunting your sister until she gets bypass surgery? WTF.

That would be a relief actually. I swear I've got about 3 bottles of codeine and hydrocodone lying around the house because of over-prescription. I've specifically told doctors "no I'm pretty sure I'll be fine on advil" and they write the prescription anyway.

apparently the author has a problem with me saying so though, as I've gone from gray, to accepted, to suddenly hidden completely now. Maybe Jez is getting a little sensitive to criticism about some of the dead horses they're beating up on these days?

ok but it takes research most people aren't interested enough to do and puts the spotlight on people who would be well within reason to want to distance themselves (notice how many have changed their first names?) from the past. Again, why? Your defense of it is solely that we could have dug and found out other ways,…

Why? Why, why, why Jezebel? Do you WANT creepsters tracking these people down because of the drama in their family? Do you want every acquaintance who hadn't thought twice about the name to suddenly broach the topic of their parents' drama and sister's molestation? What the heck was the point of doing this?
