I was watching Legally Blonde with one of my best friends the other day. This best friend happens to be in my sorority as well. We watched the part when Elle was introduced to the audience. She was the "typical" sorority girl. I do not understand where they get this stereotype. I look at the five sororities Old Dominion has on campus and none of them can relate to this. Elle is the ultimate girly girl; feathers, fluff and all. I feel like some director back in the day made this up for media purposes. Perhaps it was to gain a male audience but in any way it is wrong to stereotype sorority women like that. It is wrong to stereotype anyone for that matter. I felt like I was supposed to fit in the same category as Elle, but was disappointed in the portrayal of the Greek community. We stand for much more than vanity and reputation in regards to high status and men. The movie of course does not portray the "real" image though.
