It’s your body and you are entitled to do whatever you want with it and for that reason I fully appreciate you writing this article. All I would hope is that before you get the procedure that you are 100% sure that it is actually an issue with your boobs and not with the confidence you have in your body as a whole. Unfortunately many times women get procedures thinking that if they fix one thing it will make them happy with their bodies, and then after the surgery they still aren’t happy because it is a deeper confidence issue. That being said, good for you for not being afraid to do what you want regardless of the stigma. I hope that the surgery turns out wonderfully and it’s exactly what you hoped for.
I think the problem is how we define hazing. Sororities are so afraid of “hazing” that they hand everything to their new members. When I was a new member our nationals told us that the active sisters making us walk down the stairs to our chapter room was hazing, scavenger hunts were hazing, even making us have extra study hours was hazing. It’s hard to express the serious side of the commitment the new members are about to make when nationals expects everything to be sunshine and rainbows. Hazing should just be defined differently so that sororities aren’t afraid to give their new members true bonding experiences.
This is one of the most relatable articles I’ve ever read.
