Sorority Quotes

No, if Rose joined the Pi Betas, she would have to deny the biggest part of herself. She would have to become completely American.”
― Francine Pascal, Rosa's Lie

“The social codes are different, distinctly preppy, fraternity-sorority, hip, flip, fast-and-cute, nauseating, and artificial. I have no doubt that the majority of these people are interesting, likeable, intelligent people. Unfortunately, they've been taught not to show it. The problem lies in socializing. When these people socialize, they don a common "mask." They talk a certain way (hip, flip) act a certain way, do certain things, all of which have been defined as socially acceptable. By acting in such a way, one makes "friends." With time, friends use their masks less and less, and a true, deep friendship results.”
― Juan F. Thompson

― Jesse W Luke, The Abyss Gazes Back: A Novel

“Jamás creí que la conversación que realmente necesitaba vendría de parte de Annie, pero ahora agradecía que hubiera sido así. Si algo bueno había salido de todo esto, sería ella. Tal vez no en forma de amistad, pero sí como muestra real de que la sororidad era más importante que odiarnos sin sentido por un hombre.”
