Sororities and discrimination

<p>I know very little about sororities, but saw a recent discussion here about them, and thought today's New York Times article might make for an interesting discussion.</p>

<p>I think it is hopeful that it was alums, and NOT current students, who were behind the blocking of black pledges at the U of Alabama. In fact, the current sorority sisters were the ones that exposed the practice.</p>
