I suspect that's still very true at a southern school like Ole Miss.


yeah, i thought about joining one, but decided that i would rather spend the money on other stuff. there are many other reasons too haha but i won't bore everyone with them. yeah, i'm in an intensive study program for my degree already, and didn't want to give a sorority that much of my time because here, they're sooooooooooooo time consuming. and they have a bunch of stupid rules - for example, my friend anna (who is in phi mu) went to the phi mu halloween date party with another friend of mine, eddie, and one of the rules of the night was that if your date threw up anywhere besides in a toilet, then you had to pay a fine of $250. that's just one of the many bullshit fines that i didn't want to even consider dealing with.

soooooooo many greeks live on campus, and whenever an election is coming up for asb or just anything, tons of sorority girls stand all over campus in little clusters, trying to get you to vote for their sorority sister, and they shove pamphlets and shit that they made in your face and it annoys the hell out of me. and that usually goes on for a solid week...ugh. but, you have to admit, the greek scene really contributes to the grove during football season.

*sorry if i offended anyone who is in a frat or sorority - i tried to express my opinions, and chose my words carefully, in an attempt not to offend *
