The mainstream media is slamming this video.....all of the typical tripe (from thick-ankled Northeastern journalists) about "objectifying women" and "too homogenous." Wow. Seems like some solid, light-hearted footage to me. Time for FSU to return serve, I say.

I think these videos are silly but we're talking about kids raised in the Instagram era.
I doubt this would be a story if the group was more diverse. But it's a video of attractive white girls at a Southern university so it gets some folks riled up.

Navel gazers and bullying bloggers need their targets....Maybe they should go after these racists.

It was hard for me to understand why NBC targeted this one sorority at Bama. There are hundreds of these things out there, and the Bama footage seemed fairly par for the course. Whatever. FSU is probably next.
I wonder if these videos had me with my ball sack on the chins of these girls if they would be as outraged.
The WaPo had an article about how Southern Women/Greeks were all about wearing hoop skirts as a means of creating "insider" white exclusionary norms. The female who wrote it must have been an "outsider".
It is funny because there was a thread on here about two weeks ago reminiscing about the FSU yearbook from 1969 or 70 showing Old South and girls in hoop skirted costumes, one of the last times those were seen as part of a fraternity party. Of course ALL women in the time frame depicted wore hoop skirts. Even **gasp** non-Southern females. And sororities are hugely diverse in 2015.
The rush videos are of the moment and of course our own FSU Delta Gamma set the standard with the wildly popular video they did back in 2012/2013 which made them a YouTube sensation.
First male dweeb on here who trashes the DG's ends up with a severe limp...

I can envision the female writer now: unattractive, poorly dressed, and socially challenged. That's OK, of course, but let's not mistake petty jealousy for some kind of alleged "intellectual deep thinking."
The desire by so many to be constantly "offended" will never cease to amaze me..
Sadly...like hatred and racism this is mostly a learned response. Oh...wait....yeh I'm offended by that since you told me to be.
It may come down to a self perceived inadequacy ,unhappiness issue. Too few live and let live out there today.

The FSU girls need to step it up.

Haters gotta hate. They all probably got cut. Why do New Yorkers care what happens in Alabama? I was surprised to learn recently that fraternities at FSU no longer have little sisters and I guess sororities no longer have big brothers.

Eh, roughly a year and half to two years ago, though I couldn't tell you what it was. Izim's was about double that (geez Reynold's firing was in '06)
Lol at the 957 views and only 23 replies. And are people really against this? Why would they remove this from their facebook/youtube?
They're not, it's the "open minded tolerant" progressives that see racism, sexism and anti women messages in everything. According to the ranters, this video takes women back to the stone age, portrays an heterosexual message and is racist. I swear, the biggest racist, sexist and phobic people are the most "progressive". Because they judge everyone on the color of their skin, their sexuality and find ways to twist anything make by white men or women into something "shocking" to their "we're all victims" beliefs..
How anyone can watch that and see anything but hot, ditzy, southern girls having some good ol fashioned fun as nature intended is beyond me. Without them life would suck.

This was 1980s. Not what you think all though lots of guys got dates. One night they came by the house and brought us chocolate chip cookies after dinner for desert. We thought they were awesome. Later that night my buddy bangs on my door and tells me they were laced with ex-lax. It wasn't long before I was in the dorm bathroom with him. I actually recall that as a pledge prank that used the little sisters as a decoy because we never would have eaten anything from pledges.
Little sister rush was always a blast. Mostly they were a group of girls/women who sat in the football game block, came to intramural events, had some private parties etc. As I recall, each pledge got a big brother and later a big sister, and then had little brothers and little sisters as they got more senior. Fun times.
