So, are you in a
sorority? No.

Do you have any friends who are in a sorority? Yeah. I
know a few people who are in sororities.

Have you ever been to a sorority party? Actually, I did try to
go to one sorority party in the West End once, in the back room. It
was a Catholic school-girl party. But apparently, you had to be
dressed up as a Catholic school girl, and I wasn't. So I didn't get
in.

What sorority was that? Theta.

I don't know them. Okay, let's say it was Theta. So these
friends, do they fit that Legally Blonde stereotype? No, I
see very few girls at Columbia like that.

Do you have any friends who are in
sororities? No, I'm sorry.

Ever been to a sorority party? No.

Ever date a sorority girl? Wouldn't.

Have you ever met a sorority woman? Sure.

So what was she like? Well, sororities and fraternities
have the same thing in common in that they seek to find the same
kind of person.

Would that be each other? Sure.

So, we're talking about sororities today.
Have you ever dated a sorority girl?
COLOR=black> No, I haven't.

You have friends? Sorority girls? Sure.

What kind of people are they? Do they fit the stereotype? I
don't think they do, typically, at Columbia.

Why "at Columbia"? 'Cause people here aren't that wild,
really. It's not a crazy school.

So they don't fit that Legally Blond stereotype? Did you
see that movie? No, I haven't actually.

So what are your impressions of sororities in general?
Well, I don't know that many. Just a couple girls here in
sororities.

Would you date any of them? Sure!

You want to name them? No, not right now.

Do you think sororities are a smaller
thing at Columbia? I guess,
since we're in the city. I don't think they're as important as in other
schools. But I tend to think they're kind of stupid.

Oh, you think the sororities are stupid, not the people. Okay,
that's important. Yeah. I'm going to get my ass kicked now.

Do you think Columbia's sororities fit the usual mold?
Yeah. Like the other day, I saw girls walking in their bra and
panties.

From Columbia? Yes, from Columbia sororities.
Seriously. Did you guys see that?

No, I didn't see that. A few weeks ago. They had it over
their clothes. And they were asking guys interesting
questions.

Interesting questions? Okay, we'll leave it at that.
Thanks.
