You do realize that the vast majority of off-brand items (clothes, food, appliances, etc.) are the name brand item in different packaging, right? I’m an intern at a clothing company and we get empty packaging from numerous “off-brand” vendors that we fill with our product and they sell it for half price, if that. It’s you airheads who think you need a special tag on your clothes that keep these companies alive. You are paying $300 for something that costs maybe, MAYBE $25 to make.
My boyfriend and I’s sex life literally improved ten-fold when we started watching porn together. You don’t like it? Don’t do it. But don’t say something is bad for a relationship just because it’s not something YOU like.
This poor guy has to live the rest of his life with a disease, that could be life threatening, and you’re saying you’re jealous of him?
Do you also want Type 1 Diabetes because you lose weight rapidly? Or cancer so that you can legally use marijuana?
This post is disrespectful as fuck to anyone who might be suffering from this.
I’ll agree to most of your post but please don’t refer to racism as a “petty detail” in college organizations. It’s kind of a big deal. That’s why the article was written.
Pull out a damn dictionary. You do not, under any circumstances, have to be under nationwide oppression for it to be considered racism. It’s simply a set of beliefs about a race that’s generally meant to distinguish said race as inferior. Plenty of white people are racist, yes. But you do not have to be part of the majority to be racist.
I am not denying racism. I’m saying it is prevalent in more than just Panhellenic sororities and it goes BOTH WAYS. I don’t know what school you go to, nor do I really care, but at MY school the thought of a white girl joining a multicultural chapter is way more laughable than a minority going through Panhellenic rush.
I’d venture to guess that 50% of Panhellenic chapters at my school have AT LEAST 4 or 5 “minority” members. I know that’s not a huge number when we are talking about houses with upwards of 150 members, but they are there. Would you care to guess how many white girls are in multicultural greek organizations? Not a damn one.
The whole racism in sororities issue drives me nuts. If I tried to join one of my schools’ multicultural Greek houses, I would get laughed at. THAT’S SEGREGATION TOO. But nobody pays attention to it because we are white.
I’m perfectly happy in my Panhellenic chapter, but still, people need to look at it from every angle.
I think this is a lot like Spirit Jerseys. I LOVED them because nobody except sorority members had them. I used to see them and wonder which chapter was written on the back. Now everyone and their damn dog owns a spirit jersey. PINK is constantly coming out with new ones, hell my little sisters cheerleading team ordered them. They just don’t stand out anymore!
Lilly will now be the same, regardless of whether you are wearing the $300 or $30 version, nobody will know because EVERYONE will be wearing them.
I honestly think Lilly looks like my grandmother’s tablecloths from the 70’s and would not be caught dead in it. That being said I understand where everyone who is pissed is coming from.
Lilly is going to go from a chic, expensive, exclusive brand to something “trendy” and we all know what happens to trendy over time. *if I see chevron on anything else I will puke*

Looks like we found one of the 10-15 percent. Should I start sending Edible Arrangements?

What the actual f*** did I just read
To add on to that, if maracas aren’t a part of Mexican culture, why the hell is it such a large culturally offensive issue to have them on a poster?
Yes. Because God forbid Mexicans be associated with HELPING FOSTER KIDS.
When did society start caring so much about the Kardashians?

This book is the reason that all GDI’s- young and old- hate Greeks.

Disrespecting the bible #TSM? No. I don’t want to be associated with this.
Why are you in TSM if you go to community college and aren’t Greek? Not trying to be a bitch but, like, for real question here.
This is why people hate us.
