I think the sororities on campus did something like that. I transferred to another college and faced none of that anymore.

But my freshman year, the men did pass around a Pig Book (pictures of all of the freshman). I was thrilled to know that I never sent in my picture for that humiliation.

Until I opened it and saw my mother went behind my back and sent it in........I almost cried.

My daughter is just about to turn 16. I'm so glad she won't face (most) of this overt sexism. It was really terrible.
