I saw a strange little video where this white chick complained she quit her sorority because her 'sisters' were more concerned with their looks, popularity and partying with frat boys than they were with developing and reinforcing healthy mental states in teen girls.
Apparently sorority girls are bitchy bitches who make fun of fat chicks and often talk about other women behind their backs.
And it was so strange because the woman making the video was so fucking naive. Like she legitimately didn't seem to know what sororities were like before she joined. I was flabbergasted.
There's a cycle that girls go through when they join sororities.
Freshman year: somewhat concerned, anxious about the decision.
Sophomore year: complete fangirl, dismisses any and all criticisms as the attacks of "judgmental haters".
Junior year: maturity begins to set in and doubts start to emerge. These doubts are usually suppressed because that's when the sorority puts you in the position of mentoring new members and deciding who is allowed to enter. Basically, they use hostility to promote cohesion.
Senior year: around this time, you develop into your adult metabolism and your ability to tolerate alcohol takes a nosedive. You realize what a horrible mistake you made a few months before graduation, too late to doing anything about it.
At any point, of course, this cycle can be broken when circumstances cause her to realize the sheer sketchiness of what she's gotten herself into.
