And before anyone brings up the fact that some of the people who were affected were vaccinated: 1)vaccines like the MMR vaccine aren't 100% effective but are damn near close and 2) they would've never gotten measles if those who weren't vaccinated were initially vaccinated. That's what herd immunity is.

Putting this here.

I love that they can't go to disneyland. Maybe we can ban them from other public places ?

Thank you crazy anti vaxer anti science people.

I was reading the National Geographic recently, and was reading about this poor teenage girl they found in a cave. She was one of the first people to make it to North America. The way they described the society really made me upset. Basically, the women were small and submissive, and the men were violent. Many of the

Yeah, I'm gonna keep right on peeing whenever I have to pee, thank you very much.

^^^THIS. All the stars to you!

Wait, so it isn't that peeing before sex causes UTIs, rather it is not peeing after p in v sex that causes it. But if you truly have to pee, won't sex with a full bladder be uncomfortable and not worth it. Feels like another way to make straight ladies worry about sex rather than enjoy it.

I had one friend who did the whole sorority thing but at a college where Greek life isn't a huge deal. It was good for her in the fact that she went to having no friends to having several but I just remember being astounded by how she would complain about being broke but then she would have to buy a shirt for this

I figured out back when I was applying to schools that Greek life and I would never, ever be a good match, mostly based on the kinds of people at my high school that I heard raving about how they just couldn't wait to pledge a frat or a sorority. When I looked at colleges, I deliberately avoided places where a

Seriously. I'm so disappointed that that submitter didn't get any justice.

All these emails have taught me that sorority girls are exhausting. And yes, I am counting the ones who defended sororities in the comments. They weren't crazy like the ones in the articles, but were still exhausting.

I can't believe people pay money to be apart of this bullshit.

Okay... why does anyone join a sorority or fraternity? If someone tried to put me in the trunk of a car I would go ape shit. Why go along with this? I do not understand.

If there really is a devil and he (she!) wanted to create a society that is incredibly competitive and un-compassionate, where the people in positions of authority won't question people in power, I don't think you could invent anything more effective than the Greek system.

Wow, that last story. That is taking chapter loyalty way too far.

All the same, one of my pledgesisters still refuses to speak to me and spits the ground when my name is mentioned, according to mutual friends

It might not be literal rules for who you're supposed to be. In my chapter, sly catty shit ran wild underneath the film of togetherness and positivity. Clear groups of friends had no room for anyone who didn't fit in.

I don't want this to be the last one. These are hilarious and disturbing.

OK, I can understand the "don't get blasted" parts, but can someone explain the Uber thing? The spray paint thing is awful. If any of the leadership was worth anything, they would have disciplined the girls who did that.
