No frat party is complete without sorority members.
As fraternities host parties across the city, many sorority members flock to them as they would normally, but some members hold back. Those who opt not to party are in the minority, which has created a divide within sororities at the University of Miami, between those who wish to party and those who want to follow COVID guidelines.
The following is based on multiple accounts, pictures, text messages and interviews with members across different sororities.
“Greek Life is toxic right now,” one sorority member explained. “If you wear a mask, you are labeled dumb. Everyone is just pressuring everyone to go out and not wear masks. No one is doing anything virtual for the girls who can’t go out who have health conditions. The Greek organizations have just said ‘I don’t give a shit.’”
