A NOT SO HAPPY RUN IN WITH THE PAST: When we think sisterhood and close bonds of friendship with sorority sisters, we think of found memories and happy reunions. For this woman, Kelly Dick, her reunion was more of a nightmare. This article is about the repressed memories of a 40 yr old woman who is confronted with her past when she runs into a former sorority sister. She attributes this woman to the "unraveling of her youth." This sorority sister used to interrogate and haze her during her college years and contributed to her partying way too much and making bad decisions. Kelly's most horrible memory from college, losing her virginity, has been attributed to her sorority sisters who set her up with this fraternity guy who put her "deflowering on display for..his voyeuristic brethren."
EWWWWWW. It's horrible that some of the worst memories of this woman's life can be attributed to sorority/fraternity life, while I can say that some of my fondest memories can be attributed to Greek life. I can't think of anything more disgusting than a guy taking advantage of a girl and it being on display for anyone. Apparently they called these occurrences "ledge parties." At least some of the fraternity guys had the decency to stop this because Kelly was unconscious, however, if she had been conscious it would have been okay. I find this to be appalling. I don't know of this happening these days on this campus, but I would hope and pray that fraternity guys are gentlemen and sorority sisters are not pushing their sisters to just hook up with that guy since he's a catch...
