Mvonstein,
If you have free time and the motivation, I think you should start a
Sigma Chi Sweetheart Group on Facebook or whatever. Go through the Archives and find out who these gals were, take pictures with the Sigma Chi letters and post them online.
I understand your point now. I think you should have left the shirt on. If you are presented with the opportunity in the future, I think you should leave it on and force Nationals to take action. When they do, Veronica will write an article about it on here and I believe you will have enormous support. All these girls and a few guys will bombard Nationals on social media and will force them to back down.
About the ‘elder’ thing- I was reading another article before I wrote the comments and for some reason I thought you were the Sigma Chi sweetheart in 1982-1983.
Nationals picked a fight with you and I think you owe it to all of your TPA sisters and Sigma Chi to fight back and win.
Ma’am,
Maybe I should have used research instead of experience.
I feel that Greek elders sometimes throw us under the bus because they don’t want the non Greek critics to make a scene. I don’t believe there is a sex assault, substance abuse, or hazing problem in Greek life. People not associated with Greek life create these false crises because they want to tear down Greek life because they are unhappy or jealous of the exclusivity of it.
Compared to the general student body, I think Greeks use the fewest drugs on campus. The hipsters, goths, feminists, and skateboarders are the ones who are always lit up.
There is no hazing problem. Unfortunate accidents happen sometimes, as in all aspects of life. Men like both Bush presidents, Reagan, coach Belichick, the founder of Nike, the founder of Delta Force and thousands of other men have gone through pledging tougher than what I went through and they turned out ok.
On hell night I was swatted 68 times. It stung but I feel I am a stronger man because of it.
I felt like you threw us under the bus in order to minimize your situation. These problems only exist in the minds of Greek critics. It is not an epidemic.
Maybe I should have used ‘research’ instead of ‘experience’.
Are those things really a problem? Greek members drink, as do most GDIs, but I don’t think drugs are a big substance abuse problem. I’m not sure hazing is a problem either. The people who create the false sense of crisis over hazing are usually those not affiliated with Greek life.
My father and grandfather had to do things that would be banned today. Greek alum like both president Bushes, Reagan,
Coach Belichick, the founder of Nike, the founder of Delta Force, and thousands of other men went through ‘hazing’ and they turned out ok.
I don’t feel like Greek elders should pander to these false crises. It’s throwing us under the bus to prevent liberal Greek opponents from making a scene.
Ma’am,
You mentioned that Nationals should be concerned about preventing sexual assault. Do you truly believe this is a crisis or is it just a talking point?
The Duke LaCrosse case, the UVA Rolling Stone case, and that girl who was carrying around a mattress all turned out to be hoaxes.
A recent Department of Justice report claims that the 1 in 4 claim is a myth and that the actual number is actually about 1 in 75. It also stated that women on campus are twice as safe as off campus women. In my experience, every legitimate claim is assault was committed by a GDI in the dorms or by a GDI pretending to be a frat member.
I hope that respected elders like you would not give traction to a false feminist narrative used to attack Greek life.
Thank you.
Miss Malicious,
You seem like a nice girl so I’ll give you some context. Yeaokaywhat wrote an article for TFM about how to get a girl to do buttstuff. Her profile picture never showed her face and TFM commenters often inquired if she was hot enough to back up her articles. She has a goid sense of humor. Hopefully the poem makes sense to you now.
Good insight. I’ve heard a few chapters talking about ‘going local’ and cutting ties with Nationals. One of my friends goes to a school with local Frats and they seem to have more freedom on some levels because he says they only answer to their alumni and the school.
Do you think this cod become a trend?
We came to know you as yeahokaywhat,
And you taught us how to give it to you in the butt.
Your articles made Greeks laugh,
So TSM hired you as staff.
Now that you are on your way to fame,
We finally know your name.
It’s Rachel Malloy,
And after seeing your picture,
I’d gladly make you my Frat sex play toy.
I just did some Google research. You are the new writer on the staff page. I just saw you twitter pics. Don’t take this the wrong way, but you are hot as fuck!
Ol Sratty Shat,
What are our basic human rights?

All four are wife material. My fav is on the far right.

I agree.
I only use Facebook to look up people. I never post. I don’t tweet or Instagram. I text or call my friends. Am I weird?
Veronica,
I’m interested in hearing how you think this should be solved. What would you do if you had a magic Panhellenic wand?
*frat
Our feat tried this but no one wanted to bid on our dad bodies. 🙁
I learned poetry in school.
