I find it ironic that Shadee Malaklou is publicly chastising sorority girls for being promiscuous, given how often she advocates "sexual liberation." So according to her, sleeping around is acceptable when done as part of some misguided feminist agenda, but unacceptable when done for the purposes of campus social climbing.
She commends girls who "take men home on their own terms" and "lay guys instead of waiting to get laid," then insults "sorostitutes," calling them trashy and disgusting. Isn't that rather judgmental, coming from someone whose entire life philosophy seems to revolve around sex? Is licking whipped cream off another girl to get male attention all that different from dancing on tables in black lace and stilletos... to get male attention?
Promiscuity isn't synonymous with feminism or self-respect, and while giving up your identity to a sorority certainly won't make you a strong, independent woman, neither will the "sexually-liberated" lifestyle that Malaklou endorses.
