Sisterly Love

My sorority celebrates Founder's Day today, our 111th anniversary. Rah rah. I guess I'm ambivalent about the experience, since I was considered an alcoholic slut in a house half-full of stuck-up boring prisses, and we spent half our time worrying about recruiting pledges to try to avoid the inevitable shut-down. Now a scummy frat took over our house.

A great paraphrased quote from Koren Zailckas: "Anything that needs a concept-word such as sisterhood to define it is bullshit." (Note: the sorority she joined at SU is really Kappa Alpha Theta. Guess she wasn't as vindictive as that psycho at Sam Houston who posted "ritual" on the Internet and spouted a bunch of Bible-thumping True Love Waits crap.)

What happened to the XO house? Did y'all go under? Who moved in to yours?

The Theta Alpha chapter of Chi Omega closed its doors in May of 2003. Basically, National did not think we had enough people to justify keeping the chapter open. The Beta chapter of Sammy now occupies Phillips House on 10 Sisson Place - Phillips and Sisson both being names of XO alumnae. Supposedly, we will refound next year, but, as Yogi Berra put it, I'll believe it when I believe it...
