  2. A common saying at my alma mater was "Rent a friend Join a frat." I still have the t-shirt, too.

    Maybe it's time to update it. "To lease the friends that are right for YOU, hire a consultant."

  4. Why is "coed" still a euphemism for "girl"?

    1. Why is "girl" still an acceptable term for adult female humans?

    2. Why is "woman" still an acceptable term for female college students? It's not like they're actually, you know, adults.

    3. Where in the article were "adult female humans" mentioned?

      I assume "coed" doesn't equal "woman" in any book. My interpretation is that "coed" is used to name that state when females may be okay referring to themselves as "girls", but don't wish to be referred as such by others, and they don't, quite, fit the cultural definition of "woman".

      There's gotta be better vocabulary.

  5. An earlier comment violated the Misery rules and was therefore deleted. Unfortunately it also removed any replies to that specific comment - that's how it works. Apologies.

  6. Go Greek Girl apparently knows little about ancient languages. She is only one woman, so that'd be alumna, not alumnae.

    1. In compound words, it seems less wrong, e.g. "I have an alumni email address now". I find that utterance pretty unremarkable. In fact, "alumnus email address" sounds funny to my ear. Similarly, I can easily imagine something being called "alumni membership" (or, if it's a sorority, "alumnae membership").

      As a thought experiment, let's say a society has 2 levels of membership: "premium membership" and "hoi polloi membership". Someone could then be called a "hoi polloi member", but this wouldn't mean that the person is "a hoi polloi" (because that wouldn't even mean anything!).

      "Go Greek Girl is an alumnae of the sorority" would have been, of course, wrong.

  7. I am so glad the schools I went to didn't have Greek "culture". The whole idea is alien to me. I just don't get it.

  8. God, not being able to get into the sorority of your choice without a paid consultant is pathetic. You need to pay someone to get the chance to pay to be in a clique? That is the definition of loser.

    My school didn't have frats or sororities, only co-ops! Ditto my grad school.

  9. My school, sadly, has a growing Greek culture (though I think the growth has leveled off a bit during the economic downturn). Let's just say that the students who embrace said culture, like those who claim we need a football team to be a "real" university, are not among our best students. Also, I see a lot fewer sorority t-shirts (though still plenty of women) among the STEM students to whom I teach writing.
