Frats are awful rape-positive hives of scum, yes?

What are sorority's like? Anyone have any experiences, positive / negative of sororities?

Mean girls. Mean girls on every floor.

Depends on the campus. The fraternities on my campus are pretty low key for the most part and most of them require members to maintain a pretty high GPA and do a lot of charity work. Most of the sororities are the same way and they're actually surprisingly strict when it comes to discipline. I had a friend who was caught underage drinking at a party and she was kicked out her sorority within the week. From what I've heard, another nearby college has frats and sororities that are more in line with what you typically see on tv (a lot of wild, drunken parties and what-not). It just depends on the school.

seems trolly, but i'll bite. a lot of frats on my campus have skeevy guys in them, since skeevy guys are all over the place. some have been involved in sexual assault stuff and others give off a really shitty vibe but there are tons of frats that are respectable. i'm personally a big fan of our lambda chi alpha chapter because i know most of their boys and theyre all involved in leadership roles on campus and make good names for themselves while still being united through their fraternity.

i think we have more respectable sororities than frats though, since from my own experience i've noticed greek women are just more pleasant in general. i'm not in a sorority because i'm not interested in greek life but a lot of the stigma sorority girls have come from campus men who like to spread rumours about how sorority houses are technically legally classified as brothels or some shit (they obviously aren't).

and most of the "negative" stereotypes you hear about greek girls are things that you find in girls from all sorts of backgrounds, whether greek or not. i know a lot of girls who want to do nothing but party and get drunk and sleep around (and lets be real that stuff is fun) but honestly the only girls i know who build their college experience around those activities are non-greek students who eventually withdrew from classes.

note that i don't think wanting to party and fuck around all the time are inherently negative things, but if they impact your academic progress then it's safe to say that your party habits are interfering with your education, and i'll remind you that almost all sororities (and fraternities) have rigorous academic standards.

Do you ever get tired of generalizing things based on a tiny percentage of things in that group? Do you think all Muslims are terrorists? Do you think all black people are going to mug you?

Of course not. That would be racist.

It depends massively on the frat or sorority and campus.

I do think, even in the best cases, frats are going to be at least somewhat regressive in their views of gender, but I don't think that's at all the same thing as being a rape-positive hive of scum.

I do think, even in the best cases, frats are going to be at least somewhat regressive in their views of gender

Could you explain why you think this?

First of all, a correction - I don't think 'regressive' was precisely the right word here, because it implies an active position. What I
am trying to indicate by that is more passive than that - a lack of interest in thinking about gender roles, and an attachment to a limited, specific perspective that makes it hard to see broader claims, and a willingness to stick to first assumptions informed by the broader culture. Although, of course, there are plenty of frat boys who are actively hostile.

And the reason that I say that is because that's been my experience with people who've been in frats, at several different institutions, and that's been my perception of the frat system in general. I've had close friends and family members who were fraternity brothers, at different frats and at different universities, and they're all great people who I love, but at the same time, all of them can kind of be bros in all senses of the term. I don't think it's surprising that this would be the case, either, in terms of the kinds of people who are attracted to frats, and the effects that centering your life around an exclusively male institution can have.

Sorority's SUCK. Every interaction I had with sorority members (2+) I had in college was just a representation of every bad stereotype you see about women. One on one, they are usually not as bad. But JFC, get them in a pair/groups and you have the shallowest and cattiest people to interact with. And they can be such bullies! Towards women and men alike if you are not in their social group.

My god yes! You always hear about hazing in fraternities. I can't imagine it compares the bullying and humiliation sorority girls can participate in. I assume you don't hear about because it is women doing the bullying. or they participate in psychological torment more.

You do hear about it. Sororities do stuff like having the rushes take their shoes off before parties and making fun of non-designer labels.

I know sorors who really enjoyed their college experience and made lifelong friends, but some sororities are full of shallow basic bitches who bought their friends. Fact.

..............what. lmao that's kind of an extreme generalization

i was part of a community service co-ed frat and while sometimes it was an excuse to party, there was still a great deal of emphasis on leadership on campus/volunteer work. for every asshole brother from the more traditional all-male frats i think you're talking about, i've also met some genuinely nice dudes. i agree with an anon above that frats on the whole aren't going to be super progressive regarding gender but not...rape positive hives of scum... you might as well as target "groups of men who live together"

I usually see sororities and sorority sisters as motivated individuals. I took a class with two very pleasant, supportive sorority girls. My #1 enemy is also a sorority girl (racist, soooo racist), so it takes all kinds. I have little experience with fratboys. I met one who was really annoying at first but he was really kind to me this one time he saw me crying outside of class. So I imagine it's much the same as with the girls.

The men I've met that belonged to fraternities tend to be pretty awesome, actually.
