LETTER: Sorority column is full of stereotypes
August 25, 2003
There are more closed-minded stereotypes in Alicia Ebaugh’s Aug. 25 column, “Sorority life is becoming obsolete” than I could even count.
We are diverse, intelligent and apparently more open-minded than those taking an anti-greek stance. There is nothing elitist about sororities; if you are going to attack, at least have a credible point.
You could attack our drinking. But wait, all sororities are dry and actually obey that rule, unlike people in the dorms. You could attack our poor academic abilities. But no, our average GPA is higher than the campus average.
You say we buy our friends? I guess that applies to the dorms too, especially considering that dorms end up costing more than living in a sorority house.
