and where did the whole Iraq thing come from? I'm so sure the person that left that comment never complains because there are soldiers fighting over seas. i bet not once did they say anything along the lines of "gee, today was a rough day at work." can soldiers fighting in Iraq not complain because there have been other wars in which soldiers have had it worse? what an idiot.

I'm right there with ya. In a way, I understand what that woman was talking about with the "y'all are complaining about tired feet when there are soldiers dying in Iraq and people still dealing with Katrina-related loss" bit. But, what, people are supposed to stop living because of those things? We're supposed to call off sorority recruitment (and college admissions, and football try-outs, and job applications, and other "events" where people compete for positions) in order to focus on soldiers in Iraq and disaster victims?

I thought the article itself, however, was cute.

One day right after 9/11, one of my neighbors and I were standing on the bus bitching about it being late and this and that. This woman turns to us and starts giving us a lecture along the lines of how we shouldn't ever complain about anything ever again that's so trivial because people lost their lives and family members and yada yada yada. It was all I could do not to tell her to F off. You have to go on with your life, and bitching about the bus is part of that. If we all thought about the horrible things on earth every minute of every day, no one would ever get out of bed.

I wonder why they couldn't give the name of the girl or the sorority. One of the people who commented was right, it does make the article kind of generic, but whatever. My campus has written articles about specific NMs after they've received a bid. Must be a campus Panhel thing at Alabama.

I agree with person who commented that the picture was blah. Really, was that the best that they could come up with?
