But like, how did they get away with this? I’m not a Chi O, but to get membership revoked in my sorority it has to be voted on by the chapter AND nationals has to approve it. it would need to be something actually serious. Aka, this would’ve never happened.
Like…where is the accountability in this organization?
I appreciate that you recognize what a gift they’ve given you and that you’re grateful. That is more than can be said about others in your shoes. I wish you the best…but seriously, this article comes across as little more than a privileged person complaining about how they’re sick of less privileged people making them feel bad for being privileged. You are right to say that your parents’ financial situation is out of your control and that you shouldn’t be ashamed of it. But at the same time, since it’s out of your control, why boast about it? You clearly know you’re better off than most people – what are you gaining by pointing it out to all your readers?
As a *JCPenney* employee of 2+ years, I can confirm that we have not ever been able to wear shorts to work, no matter how dressy they may be (or whether they came from our store – JCP also sells crop tops, pajamas, and jeans, but would I wear that to work? No.) It would be sexist if our men were allowed to wear shorts, but they’re not. It has nothing to do with showing legs, either; I’ve worn plenty of (short-ish) dresses and skirts to work. All this to say…seems a bit dramatic to quit your job over a minor dress code disagreement. If the manager did indeed tell her it was because they were too revealing, I think it’s safe to say both parties probably could have handled it better.
Or they could’ve waited until the class had finished to begin their relationship. I wouldn’t blame a university that was probably just following policy; there’s a pretty ethical conflict when a professor and student become involved with each other.
As a sorority woman who works 2-3 jobs during the school year and takes care of her own dues AND school bills…preach. If anything, the fact that these are things I handle with my own finances (not “daddy’s credit card”) makes me appreciate my school and my sorority even more.

The Taylor Swift jokes are beyond annoying
Really no different than Charli XCX’s “Body of my Own.” I hope this isn’t a trend that keeps catching on.

I somehow manage to be a combination of 3 or 4 of these…bless anyone who remains bold enough to get in the car with me.
Oh, I wasn’t aware alcohol consumption had any bearing on whether someone attends community college or a large university…
