Your Turn: Opinion of OU Greek life 'ignorant, narrow-minded'

I'm sure that The Post will be swamped with letters in regard to Alex Jabs' outspoken article about Greek life at OU and in general. For those who agree with Ms. Jabs, I don't blame you. Those who aren't involved in Greek life have a very ignorant and narrow-minded view of sorority girls and frat-tastic men. I think I speak for all in Greek life when I say, don't knock it if you haven't tried it. Although I am not in Delta Zeta or Alpha Xi Delta, I would be completely and utterly humiliated and infuriated at revealing such horrible and untrue comments about these sororities. Perhaps Jabs is knocking these girls because the bond they have together is unbreakable, and with her narcissistic and supercilious attitude, it is hard to get such kinds of life-long friendships (I bet the author would be surprised I know such big words, seeing as all my sorority-girl brain can absorb is sex and beer and being naked). For future reference Ms. Jabs, don't throw a referenced article out on the table if you haven't experienced it for yourself.

Your Turn: Equality amendment would have negative effects on all genders

On April 16, Erin Rose Pfeifer voiced her disagreement with Ashley Herzog's column on the Women's Equality Amendment. Ms. Pfeifer wrote that the goal of feminists is not to rid the world of gender differences but to provide equal opportunity for women. She expressed her belief that the WEA would do just that, contradicting Ms. Herzog's assertion that the WEA would create policies that both men and women would strongly disagree with.

Your Turn: VT professor selflessly sacrificed life to save students

It started out as a normal Monday morning in Blacksburg, Va., at Virginia Tech University. That would soon change. A massacre would soon take place in which 33 human beings' lives were taken away forever. This would be the most horrific and deadly shooting rampage in modern U.S. history. It was truly a dark day. There was however, a bittersweet story that took place during these events.

I've Made a Huge Mistake

On Tuesday, President McDavis and several top administrators appeared at a Town Hall meeting. I was out of town Tuesday, but I had the chance to view the forum live on the Internet. I admire McDavis, Krendl and others for being willing to field hostile questions despite my belief that Town Hall meetings are best confined to actual towns and organizations with hopelessly antiquated ideas about public relations.
