This article is about the "cons" of the Greek Community, but after reading it, it just sounds like an author presenting why they don't like the Greek Community, when in the titles seems to portray an article that isn't opinionated. The author talks about how difficult it would be to pay for dues because it's already hard for her to pay for her rent. She then talks about how difficult it would be for her to live in a house with a large amount of other females, she even feels nauseated thinking about it. That is entirely her own opinion about that living arrangement, which isn't necessarily a con. Then she goes on and talks about the "Greek lingo" and how she can't stand to be around the girly over enthusiastic texting way of talking, what she has to realize is that everyone does it, you don't have to be in the Greek system to talk like that and not everyone does it all the time. She then goes on an talks about the Greek's "top-secret" stories that they can't tel non-Greeks, which makes her almost want to join on just to see what they're talking about. Greek stories aren't top-secret the way she makes them out to be, they're just traditions that we can't talk about to people that aren't in our own Greek House, it's a family trade secret, every house has different ones. Don't take it personally. Lastly she states how living in a sorority house you have to many restrictions, every house has different rules, but she pointed out how sororities can't throw parties (which is true) then she talks about how guys aren't aloud to come up-stairs past a certain time, they probably only set this rule to keep their girls safe and to make sure they both genders aren't doing any suspicious activities in their own house because it would reflect badly on them as a whole.
Again, I think that this article (below) was more opinionated in the matter of how they went about describing the "cons" of the Greek Life. Like I've said before my goal for this blog is just to educate people on Greek Life and not to criticize other people for their opinions or feelings. If you disagree with what I've said you can always let me know, I'm open to new ideas and opinions.
