To the Editor:
Miss Tsaltas, I would like to express general outrage at your editorial concerning the dress of the Greek community. Obviously, I am in a fraternity. I have Greek relatives and friends. Yes, I wear "visors" and "croakies."
My question for you is, when did looking good become a crime? I wear collared shirts and boat shoes to class because I don't want to look like an unclean slob in public. Dressing well and clean displays personal confidence, but it also gauges how well I respect myself.
If one cannot treat themselves well, how will they treat others with whom they hold relationships?
Your description of "sorority girls" was hilarious. Perhaps if you expanded your social circle you would see that we have some of the most beautiful girls in the entire SEC and probably in the country. I could care less if they want to choose leggings and a big T-shirt to go to class because when they go out they look GOOD. I'd rather see girls in T-shirts and shorts in class, because dolling themselves up would ultimately be a distraction.
Other than the ridiculously inept style of writing you have, I cannot understand the inherently jealous tone that riddles your article. Did you not get a bid? Sorry we're not sorry.
I would be jealous too. Greeks hold 40 percent of the seats in Congress and a majority of seats as CEOs in Fortune 500 companies. As a fraternity man, I am developing leadership skills, organization and social skills. Perhaps you need to spend less time admiring the Greek community's dress and more time in the library because your History of Ancient Cultures degree isn't going to earn itself.
In others words, keep your thoughts to yourself or your blog, which I assume is filled with preachy bullshit about the environment and how much you hate the Republican Party.
I do not care that you think my visor is unattractive, and I'm sure you would be disgusted at how bad my Sperrys smell. I respect women, and I don't care what they wear to class because a beautiful woman is still beautiful no matter what she is wearing. Got a response? Get at me. I'm terrified. But I'm still going to sleep well tonight in my Reagan-Bush '84 T-shirt with my sorostitute by my side.
