chi o kicked out
by: SadI personally am ashamed at how sororities are treating this issue with Derby Days. We all know the comments were wrong and uncalled for and encouraging members to keep quiet and let it happen is absurd. Panhellenic wants to stand as a united front, but putting members down for speaking their own concerns is wrong. To everyone upset, speak up! You aren't alone. You are the biggest part of fixing the issue. Until someone speaks out thins will continue to happen how they are. If your sorority cannof acknowledge and accept the differing opinions of its members, than you are better off with being affiliated with them. Do not let 2 or 3 letters dictate your life.

Every family has their dirty little secrets that we encourage members not to discuss in public. Sororities are no different.
We need to let Panhellenic work with sororities as groups to solve these issues. Discussing anything in a public forum will only result in negative perceptions.
If girls are upset with what went down, they need to speak to the president of their sorority.
More can be accomplished as a group than as individuals!

My sorority is asking us to remain quiet until we get the chance to discuss it as a chapter.
Nobody is squashing our 1st amendment rights!
This airing of our dirty laundry is a pox on our entire Greek system! If you think sigma chi is alone in how they treat women, you are delusional!

I'm sorry but I dont need to have my sorority or panhellinic "express" my views on how I feel about what happened. No need to wait for the spin control. We all know what happened and it was wrong!

Yes, you're right. Many fraternities do in fact act this way, but never have I been to a PHILANTHROPY event that include such demeaning remarks. Why would I wait til chapter to discuss something that bothers me just because my sorority said so? Since when can I not express my own views? Being in a sorority does not mean that I cannot have a voice outside of my sorority. I am not limited to what my sorority views and what they tell me to say and do. This is why people speak out. Even though they are involved in Greek life does not mean they cannot form their own opinions and express their own views.

What bothers me is they are acting as thought this was the only incident of the demeaning talk... It's been happening for years! Change the structure and it could be a great event.

It's on buzzfeed. they reported several facts incorrectly. if we want the problem to be solved, the national media needs to report it correctly. many sorority members are not allowed to speak about it to the media because it's in their bylaws.

this is true to some regard; however, some sororities on campus are telling members to keep quiet because they don't want to get Sig X in trouble. They actually want members to kiss up to Sig X members instead. Never will I let my 1st amendment right be deminished by my couple of letters.
