The UA Alpha Phi recruitment video = Just about everything that is wrong with So

The UA Alpha Phi recruitment video = Just about everything that is wrong with Southern Greek life
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027085495

The University of Alabama Alpha Phi sorority has gone viral. They rail against Greek life at college. DU is lily white as it gets.

 All white. Football. Parties. Booze. Strict gender roles for men and women. Mommy and Daddy's money. Designer clothes.

I just don't "get" Greek life, especially in the South.

1. Especially in the south?

Fraternities and sorities are the same everywhere. I understand this was not a thought out video but if you think that they are different regionally, they are not. Shut them all down but not just the south but everywhere even Washington, D.C.

4. As a former sorority girl (at a college in the south)

none of this surprises me. Pretty standard. Also the reason I left the sorority life after 2 years.

7. Young women doing what they want with their lives. . .

If it fulfills their expectations, and does no one harm, it's their business not mine.

It seems akin to middle-aged men sitting on a couch drinking brewskis and binge watching the tube.

I have the same attitude towards both groups: If that's what you want out of life, you've got it.

I've sought something more from my too few hours.
What have you done for your life?  :mental:

I'm ready to join Alpha Phi. Immediately. If not sooner.

The ratio of blondes over brunettes was astronomical. The lack of redheads was a kind of a 'red' flag.

Other than needing an insulin injection after that sugary video, so what?

Do those criticizing the video know the lack of black women in it is due to Alpha Phi discrimination rather than black women at UA self-segregating? I can't speak for AL, but blacktivists at Berserkeley demanded and got their own all-black dorms 10 or 20 (or 30?) years ago.

As fl said, there's about as much evidence for discriminating against redheads as there is for discrimination against blacks (and Alpha Phi redheads may have chosen not to appear, not wanting to risk sunburn from wearing shorts and/or bikinis out in the sun).

There were red heads in the video, you just couldn't see them on film because of their close relationships to vampires

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

More likely that she tried rushing for two years and got rejected.

Nothing to see here... just another bunch of jealous, unattractive liberals.

Move along, move along.

The mere existence of the video, and what I've seen of it so far, makes me want to rush Alpha Phi (or at least be a "'Little' Brother").  :naughty:

Anyone else feel that way? :whistling:
