Sorority Women Shafted

Here's the NY Times article that caught my attention this morning. The DePauw University chapter of Delta Zeta is being re-organized by their national, in such a way that all the non-white, non-skinny women have been asked to leave. I'm not a huge supporter of the Greek system, but I do know how important a person's house can be to them and some frustration with nationals screwing around with cool houses. This kind of garbage is exactly the reason why I'm generally down on sororities: the pressure to embody an image that promotes false stereotypes of what a woman should be.
