Deranged Sorority Letter

[madDawg228]

I can't listen to it at work, but I will at home

LOL.  I LOVED that freaking letter.  It was a cunt punt to their Nationals and Panhellenic.  All sorority Nationals and Panhellenic are known for cock-blocking ANYTHING fun  

I wrote similar stuff and posted it in my sorority's bathrooms when people were acting like lame shits.  I was a RAH RAH Sor-or-it-tay type, but I was also kind of a "little asswipe that stands in the corners (at parties) at night."

@jennuinne Did you guys use to do the passive aggressive phone pages after 21 Runs? That was A LOT like the contents of this letter

After their 21 Runs(usually at 1 or 2 am), a lot of the girls would come back to the house and get on our phone paging system and would talk shit about anything and anyone they didn't like. It sounds really bad, but it was pretty fucking hilarious.

@maddawg228: I didn't read it as being addressed to Nationals or Panhellenic. Am I missing something? It sounds like someone just trashing all her sisters for being too lame.

The letter wasn't addressed to Nationals or Panhellenic, I was referring to how something like writing that letter is something that would piss off their Nationals and Panhellenic (and probably their Corp Board too), which is something I wholeheartedly approve.  There are always more and more rules that collegians have to follow in sororities, and it's gotten ridiculous.

Like Rush isn't Rush it's "Recruitment." 
Rushees = Potential New Members, or PNMs 
Pledges = New Members

And I'm still bitter that they only do door chants during the first round at UW now, and that no one participates in Raids anymore     Shit is becoming too politically correct!

I read that letter. I will have to listen to the reading though. This makes me glad I'm not the sorority type.

I've heard all the buzz about the letter but I haven't read it yet or listened to the reading. One of the reasons I picked my college was because there were no sororities. I had some major issues with cliques in high school and didn't want to deal with similar things in college.

The letter was pretty terrific. I couldn't stop laughing. I was not made for greek life either. 

Did anyone see that they founder her twitter handle and posted her tweets?

I don't disagree, but I also think it's rather ignorant to imply that these things only happen within the Greek system.  Sorry, but drunk college girls do mean and stupid things wherever they are.  Being in a sorority doesn't mean that incident rate is any higher; it just means it gets noticed more often because people want to perpetuate stereotypes and look for those actions which support it.

My sorority had a 3.40 cumulative GPA this quarter at UW (I know this as they told alumnae) and had about 40% of its membership on the Dean's List.  No one is interested in hearing about that, though.

It's fine if Greek life isn't for you, but it's not fine to let a narrow stereotype define the roughly 1,800 women who are current members of the UW Greek system (and the tens of thousands of women who join nationally) any more than it is fine for me to stereotype you or anyone else.  Stereotyping a group of people based on the actions of one person is just plain ignorant.

I am not stereotyping the whole greek system based on one person. I just think these are shitty things to do to people.

I think people are reading too much into the letter. It's supposed to be funny and encourage others to participate in House activities. The letter went out to 18-22 yr old women, that's their "language."

When a sorority is going through a low morale period (which it sounds like the DG at this college was, and maybe the SN too), they need to get "cunt punted" into fixing it. Low morale leads to people dropping out. DG nationals was wrong to force that Sister to drop, that is going to lead to more Sisters dropping too, and the entire chapter will suffer next year with rush. You could argue that the letter itself would hurt membership, but people who are offended by that letter probably wouldn't want to go Greek anyway. As a HS Senior reading this on the internet I would have LOL'd... but that's me and not everyone is like me.

I loved my sorority experience, and wouldn't trade those four years for anything
