While my intent was purely humorous, it is an untrue and unsubstantiated stereotype that needn't be perpetuated. I apologize for any offense. Writer’s note:

I'm a sorority girl double-majoring and getting good grades, and I love my classes. I know I'm not the only one. We're all here at NU, and we're here to learn, including those of us who wear Greek letters. I realize that your intent may be humorous, but such pernicious stereotypes against a substantial portion of the NU community don't seem particularly constructive and only serve to perpetuate a tired, untrue archetype.
