It's All Greek to Me

Sorority girls are just soooo sorority. Like, what about being in a sorority makes every girl feel the desire to buy Nike running shorts, Ugg boots and Seven Jeans? I just soo don’t get it! There are 17 different sororities on our campus right now, you think that would engender individuality and a sense of personal being Wrong. You can line up 100 girls (give or take a few shades of hair dye and 5 or 10 pounds) and you probably, like, couldn’t tell them apart! Am I right or am I right?

Beyond the way sorority girls dress, a qualm with which I am currently struggling is our overuse of the word girl. Here, let me break it down, “hey girl! Whatcha doing girl? Or my personal favorite, bye girl!” We know you're a girl. I just don’t get it. What about that word is so infectious that it has managed to place itself at the end of every single one of our peppy sentences. It doesn’t make you sound any happier or more satisfied with life, so why use it?

If you really want to fit in get a fake id or buy an ipod, but please – don’t end your sentence with the world girl. Ahem, we would like to be treated like ladies.
