Only six of them, and they may have had outside pressures like family.

Can I join the Cellarity please?
If you blackball me I'll just go and start up my own anyway, so you may as well let me in.

Warning - I don't do hair-holding. If you're gonna puke you're on your own babe.
I do have a lovely wide shoulder for crying on though.

Tink & V - very interesting to hear the other side of it from people with personal knowledge. I admit I've only ever heard/ seen the stereotyped images before. I can see that properly run, female students working together and looking out for eachother is really positive.

I expect the Cellarity to focus on drunken misbehaviour though.

What makes the news? Scandal, titillation, gossip... What doesn't make the news? Philanthropy, community service, fellowship. I don't dispute that the "girls gone wild" stereotype has some basis in fact. But I think the attention given to that aspect is way out of proportion to its prevalence or relevance. It's possible to look for bad, and find it, in any organization. I don't have any prurient interests to satisfy, so I don't bother focusing on those aspects. To each his own.

There's considerable comedy potential here, though.

Wouldn't you agree that it is also chapter specific? Hence the ABL is a party place, the BD house is mostly religious, the BP place is only if you are black, etc. They all have their own personality and purpose for existance, as well as standards.

I know exactly what they are like and they do fall into the steroetype. Just saying that they also put a lot of emphasis on academics as well. The kids are held to a standard and if they fall below that standard and do not rectify the situation, they get the boot. That is the side of Greek that people do not see until they are directly involved.

Trust me, we were cleaning up a lot of Friday night.

I also have the added benefit of having open conversations with my daughter so not much goes by the wayside. Albeit, I know there are some things I prefer NOT to know. I am not easily fooled as V can attest to.
