‘Plastic’ unhealthy

This letter is in reply to Jennifer “Buffy”Lundy’s letter printed in the April 6 issue of The Northern Star.

Well, Ms. Lundy, it’s so nice of you to come forward and let everyone know that Ms. Fleischman’s column was referring to sorority girls, seeing that she didn’t mention “sorority” once in her article. Obviously you’ve been offended by her article, which means it obviously applies to you, which further means that you obviously need to heed some of her suggestions and become a little less “plastic,” as I like to call the majority of sorority girls (note I said “the majority,” not “all”). You’re obviously not as “passive” about the remarks of others concerning Greeks as you say you are, otherwise you wouldn’t have been so offended by Ms. Fleischman’s column.

You also say that Ms. Fleischman’s editorial would have been considered discriminatory by the university if it was written about the “black” greek system. To tell you the truth, Ms. Lundy, I never knew there was a “black” greek system and a “white” greek system on campus before reading your letter. Ms. Lundy, blacks are born with their skin and can’t do anything about it (not that they should have to anyway). I highly doubt, though, that you were born with five pounds of makeup and hairspray on your head. There is something you can do about that. I’ve always wondered, don’t you girls get top-heavy from all that junk? You must have incredibly strong necks. Ms. Lundy, it’s really unhealthy for you to not allow your skin to breathe for such long periods of time.

I’ll also give you a little piece of advice since this is the normally rainy month of April: Don’t stick your nose up so high, honey. You’ll drown if it rains.
