but sometimes, those east coast flashbacks just creep up on you like that homeless lady who follows me back to my dorm sometimes.
and thus, i bring up Daniel's Story. u know the exhibit im talking about. the one at the ntl holocaust museum in DC. where u walk thru this kid daniel's house, and then follow his life up to the concentration camp he's sent to. where kids always leave supr-offensive notes for daniel even tho he's a supposed holocaust victim... yeah, that one.
nd after discussing Daniel's Story with my frnd AJM (yes, the "cum home now" one), we began discussing how disgusted i am with greek life. it was really two separate conversations, but i've been trying for the last 24 hrs to find a connection between the two topics.
this has proven difficult, as
A. comparing frats&sororities to the holocaust is pretty high on the immoral list
and second of all, i'm pretty tired and can't think that well right now.
but there are some key similarities between the greek life experience and the holocaust experience that im gonna point out:
- PRESSURE TO BE SOMEONE UR NOT (acting all fake caddy & fratty; being jewish = punishable by death)
- HAZING (how my pledgee friend looked last night after leaving AEPi; how my ancestors looked after getting off the trains)
- OBJECTIFYING OF HUMANS (turning grls into solely sexual objects aka TKE making grls git drunk and joust while wearing skimpy gladiator outfits; depicting jews as fungal, making them wear yellow stars, packing them into trains like cattle)
Im trying to decide if it wud be appropriate for u to laugh in regards to what i just wrote.
I think if ur jewish, its legit to laugh. if ur not jewish and are involved in greek life, ur laughter could potentially be taken as extremely offensive.
Actually i think anyone is allowed to laugh about it...
Nd just to make all the frat&sorority bitches who read this blog happy, I wud also like to point out some key differences between greek life & the holocaust:
- The party scene is very different.
- The presence and consumption of alcohol is a little different as well.
- The food is better at frat/sorority houses (to my knowledge).
I'm sure there are maybe one or two more differences, but i'm not gonna waste my breath. nd i just realized im 5 min late to class. fml.
