Badly timed ‘slam’

This is probably just one of many replies to Debra Fleischman’s April 2 descriptive commentary on sorority girls. (Normally, I would not waste my time on something this trivial, but I decided to cast aside my lip gloss for this one.) Being a greek, I am usually calloused (and by now passive) to the many editorials “slamming” greeks, but Miss Fleischman’s article was too ill-planned temporally to overlook. Miss Fleischman has a right to voice her views, but had she written a similar article about, say, the black greek system, she probably would have been expelled from NIU.

I’ll admit, I am dependent on my Aquanet, I often sport my black stretch-pants and I should own stock in 7-Eleven—just like thousands of “average” college girls—and I remain a unique and intelligent human being. Hard to believe, right?

So, like, maybe, like, Miss Fleischman should, like, try being a little more discrete in expressing her, like, discriminatory, like, attitude during this period of, like, heated, like, intergroup conflict.
