sororitys

Could someone explain the concept of this college thing

what's their purpose ? why do they exist? and why are they relevent in todays world?

lookout123 · 04-11-2008, 04:32 PM

They are quite effective for grouping and referral purposes.

They tend to group together women of certain personality types and goal orientation. This helps the male of the species to efficiently qualify likely targets for fornication.

The female of the species is benefited in that she doesn't have to personally sleep with every male on campus to separate the subpar, average, and above average lovers, she can simply look to her sisters for referrals while occasionnally taking one for the team.

At least that is my understanding of the situation.

BigV · 04-11-2008, 04:36 PM

Not helpful, l123, as DaughterofV is many hundreds of miles away, with ample cover for the males of the species in my field of view.

One can count on one's Sisters to hold one's hair back while one pukes, and -- occasionally -- to take one's contacts out when one is far too drunk to actually make it to the bathroom at all.

At least that is my understanding of the situation.

It's a WAT? (Weird American Thing)

SteveDallas · 04-12-2008, 12:06 AM

All I know about sororities, I learned from watching this documentary.

Crimson Ghost · 04-12-2008, 02:33 AM

Ah, yes, the sorority.

This is a time honored tradition in American culture, where places of higher learning group together young women of similar age, and socio-economic groups.

The main effect of this grouping is to help these young waifs learn that it is wrong to be different, and that mocking and belittling those who are different is the only way to succeed in life.

In addition to this valuable life lesson, these future home-makers are taught that the only things that matter in life are success, money and power. And that the acquisition of these things is paramount.

Of course it's not all work!

Sororities also teach these young ladies how to pillow-fight in their underwear, when to put out for the captain of the football team, and that college is the best time to experiment. Especially with their sexuality. It is almost mandatory that these nymphs sleep with each other, so as to gain a better understanding of their bodies, and in the process, become better acquainted with the bodies of those who'll be lifelong friends, and sometimes even more.

Yet, even as these life lessons are imparted to them, dangers still abound.

Every year, countless young ladies are lost to homicidal killers hiding in the basements of the sorority house. One would assume that the sound of a chainsaw would send them running in fear. But, alas, no. The mere sound is enough to attract cute, curvaceous co-eds to their doom.

Running though the woods in high-heels while being chased by a knife-wielding madman is now being taught in many state universities,

Spur-of-the-moment sexual encounters, occurring while a murderous psycho is on the loose, is another cause of alarm for many faculty across this great nation of ours.

But, the biggest hazard facing college co-eds today is the "Caribbean Trip".
So many young, nubile, photogenic co-eds are disappearing these days, one would assume that a "white slavery sex ring" was claiming them. Only time will tell, although one theory has suggested that America's institutes of higher learning should send as many co-eds as possible, all at once, so as to overburden the possible killers, and end their reign of terror once and for all.

As a student of the most fraternized college campus in the US (Illinois), your words hit the ball out of the park.

Yes I know Brianna was role playing.

The reason I asked about this was because I've only recently watched 2 documentaries on this American phenomenon.
By the time I finished watching these shows I thought about the comparisons to the black and hispanic gangs. It seems that sororitys are a white up market version of a gang.

Ah, I'm glad you knew I was fooling around, lushchocolate! I usually mean no harm at all and am just a silly person.

I think your assessment of sororities being an up market white girl gang is on the money. In my time they were anyway. There was a sorority in an Indiana college that wanted the chapter closed because the girls weren't cute enough---they didn't explicitly say that, but that is what those sorority girls thought of the closing issue. I just wish I could recall the name of the college...anyway, I fear and am suspicious of sororities. If I meet a girl/woman who identifies herself as such I always wonder what their deal is. Couldn't they get friends on their own and had to join a gang to have built-in friends?

Though, in truth, in high-school I was a selective friend-getter myself. I only wanted to hang out with the people who partied!! Looking back on that, I can see how I cut out a lot of cool people because they weren't "just like me"---you know? It's dumb on both ends.

I think that there is a lot of that still going on however as BigV stated, DaughterofV is in a sorority. We are in no means "rich", which is a big stereotype. She works her ass off to get merit in the house, she has held the position of Parlimentarian and is now the Standards Chair. The house is very serious, as is the university, on upholding GPAs or you get the boot.

Partying is still an element anywhere but not just on Greek Row. All over every campus. As in evidence by the great game of beer pong I got to play on campus during Mom's Weekend last weekend.

Followed by a fantastic concert by Elton John.

The Sorority was invented by Al Gore in an effort to decrease global warming. So when you have a keg party you only have to print one invite to each house and thereby save paper which saves trees and increases the amount of CO2 which is absorbed from the earth's atmosphere and cuts down on destruction of the ozone and saves us from getting sunburns when on holiday in Florida at the beach.

But wouldn't the additional CO2 released due to increased consumption of beer defeat the purpose?

Not if you drink Guinness.
