[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 655970, member: 17461"] When I was in school the first time, there were sororities. It was a very small school branch of a public university. The women in the sororities did not look or behave in any of the ways I expected. I remember them selling perfume in the Student Union. I remember friends of mine pledging sororities, and one of them needing to have every kind of candy on her person at all times in the event one of the sorority sisters wanted that particular kind. She seemed to enjoy it. The other friend, I lost track of. So it must be true then, that sororities are self-enclosing kinds of things. I would love to have had that kind of support. It would have been a very good thing for me to have had that, for sure. I was living on my own, in an apartment, working two jobs. I might have enjoyed that kind of circle of women friends...or maybe, appreciation of other women is only something that happened for me after what happened to my kids. Remember how I grew up. When I went back the second time, after the kids were ~ after what happened to all of us ~ I was a member of two Honors societies. I didn't have to do anything, like register or pledge or anything, to do that. I liked that, and found it valuable. That was not as intense as a sorority would have been, but it is a kind of identification of ourselves with those who are like us. So I think a sorority would be a fine thing. I would not have been comfortable cutting people up just for the sake of it. On the other hand, I was very different, very arrogant and messed up, as a young woman. I was never intentionally mean. Speaking from the perspective of now, I would do it, I would try to be invited and join and have that experience. Cedar [/QUOTE]
