Samuel L. Jackson
Lily Tomlin has the skills
My mind immediately went to Gretchen Weiners (aka Lacey Chabret)
Well there’s another subtext and that is if you expect to be successful professionals in your adult life and profession you need to be on point with your message and image. People behaving like a herd of stray cats when the organization is trying to focus on achieving some PR goal makes everyone look bad.
If you don’t want to be in a sorority that’s fine but part of the package is agreeing to the group goals set by the leadership. Doing what you want and what’s most fun is not always going to align with the larger goals of the organization. If that’s not something these young women can “get” would you really want them representing your company or organization?
“No one’s the boss of me” works until you actually have a boss.
The email is over the top but the point of working cooperatively and not embarrassing the chapter with poor or self indulgent behavior is a life lesson anyone who is going to work effectively in a group has to learn.
No, this has to do (at least a good part, I suspect) to the misogyny and sexism arguments going on in ATMB.
As for the topic… Well, it’s one of those things I blink at, wondering if this person is for real, basically — maybe a little awe at such an unbroken and passionate rant. (I think that’s a reason for much of the admiration: the sustained nature of its passion.)
I gotta disagree with her on that point. If I had somehow gotten dragged to a college sporting event, a gal who’d also been dragged there and who was making fun of the whole situation would be at the top of the list of people I’d want to hang out with.
Yeh, she certainly showed everyone that one shouldn’t embarass the chapter with poor or self-indulgent behavior.
Wait, people join sororities in order to learn how to take orders from their bosses? Was that in the flyer?
And then there’s the fact that the “group goal” that the sisters are being dedicated to is “being sexually submissive to a randomly chosen group of men.”
God knows that our employers today can’t find enough job applicants with that skill. Whatever happened to the Protestant work ethic?
I’m thinking she’s already been contacted by the executives of several reality shows, and the bidding war will start soon.
I know who I’d want to nominate for “Miss Congeniality”!
Do sororities ever have blanket parties at night? And are Dr. Martens still fashionable? :mad:
Sorority members are definitely not hos. They’re just in occupational training so they will know how to be hos. Huge difference.
But…
She correctly executed the 6 habits effective writers!!
University of Maryland Delta Gamma Sorority Email: A Lesson in Good Writing
Sandra Oh (Yang from Grey’s Anatomy) could definitely pull it off
Has anyone mentioned Lohan yet? I think the husky cigarette-scarred voice would add a something quite special to the excessive cursing and threats.
I’m thinking more Maggie Smith, especially the cunt-punting parts.

Judy Dench is much too classy for that rant. Same with Maggie Smith.
Oh yeah!
Me too. I do have to agree with Lady Bitchface’s rant, though - if you join a sorority, you do what the sorority does. No one forces girls to join sororities, as far as I know.
“Sorority Catfights” could be a very big hit!
You guys protesting the “I can’t do what I want? I’m glad I never joined a sorority” have to remember that she mentioned that it was only for the week where that event was going on. So in light of that she has a point… an incredibly belligerently expressed point, but a point.
A cuntpoint?
Agree though. Join a Greek house, play ball. Sometimes, it’s how you say it.
What if the recalcitrant boner losers are actually moles who are preparing to bring down the whole sorority system from the inside?
Well, I wanted to say that she “expressed it like a cunt punter” but even with the context I wasn’t sure if I’d get a warning.
