I attended a sorority philanthropy event last week where a successful wedding dress designer and business owner, Janelle Berte, came to speak about how she built her business and moved her shops from LA to Lancaster, PA and Manhattan.

Unfortunately, the invites only went out to sororities, but truth be told, I snuck in five friends who wanted to come just to hear the business aspect part of it. I’m pretty sure those five and I were the only ones listening. 

Since the room was obviously segregated by sorority chapter, each one chose to have side conversations throughout the whole presentation… Oh wait, except for the part when girls modeled the dresses and Berte gave out free wedding planning books (worth $50, we got them free, I think that have been most girls’ motivation). 

The chatterboxes included the Chi Omega chick that ran the show… I’m pretty sure she was made of plastic, she walked like her limbs were stuck and her skin tight, short-skirted tweed suit didn’t move when she moved (my friends were calling her Barbie). 

I mean, any girl will get excited to talk about her preconceived wedding plans, but a little respect for the woman might have been nice. Half of those girls are marketing/advertising/business majors anyway; you’d think they would have cared.

That’s not to say that many girls here at Penn State are not career-savvy. Go find my previous post on career aspirations; seven out of ten on that list are females, and those aren’t small goals. 

But after this event, I lost a little bit of that faith I had when talking to the more intelligent of Penn State’s women.

So you're saying that all sorority women only came to college to find a husband? Thanks for just lumping us all into a category instead of treating us as individuals. I'm sure there are sorority women who do choose to come to college to find a husband but the truth is that even though there were a lot of sorority women there, there was probably a larger number who were not there. Thanks. Posted 05/01/2008 10:03 PMReply

actually ... the "Chi Omega chick that ran the show… I’m pretty sure she was made of plastic, she walked like her limbs were stuck and her skin tight, short-skirted tweed suit didn’t move when she moved" was a girl in delta gamma, not chi omega. before you post false accusations online, make sure you check your sources first.

PSUprincess it seems like you are just bitter that XO didn't invite you back...and here's an idea: instead of writing stupid moronic articles on this pathetic site, why don't you try positively contributing to Greek Life or to Penn State in general...what a sad human being you are Posted 05/02/2008 11:27 AMReply

This whole thing is so laughable. Who cares if sorority girls go to college just to find husbands? To quote Tom Jefferson, "It's a free country." Besides, that leaves more jobs for the girls who don't want to find husbands in college. This article is obviously just a vendeta against Chi Omega girls. Jealous much?

I'm getting more than a little tired of the stupid sorority girl comments. Drop the narrowminded attitude and go plan your own philanthropy events if you don't like how we do it. Or is your time better spent on this website? Posted 05/02/2008 1:35 PMReply

oh you poor victimized sorority girls. I can't believe anyone would criticize you, considering none of you have done anything to deserve the stereotypes. Seriously though, we all know philanthropy is a front for what you all are really about Posted 05/02/2008 2:25 PMReply
