LOVE THIS. Was the joke in poor taste? Yes. Can we expect college aged boys to stop making insensitive jokes? Don’t hold your breath. Their sign had no malicious intent, they’re just dumb for putting it up in the first place.
I don’t think the fraternity deserved to be suspended over this. You’re telling me college aged boys said something insensitive without thinking about it first? I am shocked. If you don’t like what they’re saying and think they’re bad guys, then don’t go to that house! Don’t hang out with them! Nowhere does it include any mention of rape or anything remotely misogynist. There are true feminist issues we should be fighting, and sorry but this isn’t one of them.
So you’re shaming her because she didn’t choose to spend money on an organization she didn’t feel comfortable in? We tell these girls to go with what feels right to them, but then we put her on blast when she follows our advice? Take this down TSM seriously. She never once said what this sororities standing is, for all we know it could be top tier. Oh and didn’t you just write an article identical to this a week ago?
Some organizations have higher standards of personnel than others. When we pledge, and eventually initiate we understand that were representing not only ourselves, but our letters as well. If she couldn’t handle that, she should have never joined in the first place.
This article spot on said everything I’m feeling right now. I’m going to remember this later tonight, when I’m losing my voice from singing and I don’t think I have the strength inside of me to “do it just one more time”
Im on the fence with this one. I do think PNMs have the right to know if things like this occur and if they occur constantly. If an organization claims to be diverse, but their actions prove otherwise PNMs should know about it. It’s hard to place judgement since we do not know if she tried to address her sisters about their behavior, or if this came out of the blue. Intentional or not, it’s still ignorance. We Greeks are always getting bad publicity, and we need to be more aware of what we’re posting.
Actually no. If the only thing you care about is a large, extravagant expensive wedding complete with an expensive, flashy dress and ring then maybe YOU’RE the one who shouldn’t be getting married. Oh and PS some couples prefer smaller backyard weddings. My cousin chose a small ceremony, with brunch and a cookout at my aunts house. And trust me it’s not cause she couldn’t afford something else but that’s what her and her husband WANTED.
Iggy Azalea did not win a Grammy, stop making stuff up. She’s aware that people dislike her. Macklemore won the Grammy due to the message behind Same Love and has not won one since. And excuse me but your screen name is privelegedandpreppy. Stop crying race every time you’re passed over for something.
I will always respect Taylor Swift because at least she had to work for something and wasn’t just born into money. People have a problem with the Kardashians due to the fact that there are actually important matters in the world, and important respectable people that we should ACTUALLY be paying attention to. So what you’re saying is because she was linked to spoiled, drugged out, overall horrible person Paris Hilton and some money hungry Hollywood CEOs I should respect her? Yawn. Was there really nothing else to write about TSM?
Your retention rate must be stellar based on the way you treat your new members.
so apparently consensual sex is no longer a concept women can WILLINGLY engage in? Please point out where they made any threats to women. I’ll wait.
