It's very hard to be objective about a part of your life you have fond memories of and feel nostalgia for, you didn't have any bad intentions and you acknowledged the issue quickly. We love you❤️❤️❤️

two things can be true at the same time, it doesn't mean that your experience isn't valid & doesn't overshadow the fact that you have good memories 💜 thank you for always being so open and honest with us and so willing to hear what people have to say. this podcast is one of my favorite things to look forward to at the beginning of the week. your audience loves & appreciates you and Brittany both so much for the happiness you bring to the internet

Yes sororities have a lot of issues that should have been taken more seriously in the ep. BUT, as others have said, you are allowed to have enjoyed your time in one! Don’t sweat it too much ❤️❤️

girl i agree but as a black southerner sororities are also huge with us as well. i understand the horrible history but at the same time that was your experience and the internet can feel how it wants to feel about that. i never joined any Devine 9 sorority (or yt sorority for that matter) but i understand why ppl do. regardless of the culture it was ur experience and u shouldn’t have to apologize but i appreciate you acknowledging your privilege and how that effects your perspective of these things. love yall!

Damn they really need to do the episode on parasocial relationships cause the fact that this comment section is all congratulations on your correct opinion and apology while the other is all shaming her is insane

Watching it I was a bit like ‘oh Sarah 🙄’ but having broader context on you ‘as a person’ (as far as one can online) I figured you were coming from a sentimental place rather than anything else. Appreciate the clear up and glad to see your continued growth

I think it’s crucial as viewers to understand a 2 states can exist at the same time. Sarah had a positive experience with Greek life, but that does not negate or dismiss the unjust experience of minorities. I don’t know why some people place this magnify glass on influencers. They’re just sharing their stores, educating us, and bantering. I think they did an incredible job! I liked the contrast in perspective with Brittany too.

I don't think people's experiences diminish another individual's. You don't have to apologize for not sharing the same take as other people.

I think it was good to have someone who liked sorority life and someone who didn’t/wasn’t in it, but also be aware that as a white, cis, thin, femme presenting person, you saw the positives and were able to enjoy yourself without worry.

You spoke from experience but because of your being white and thin (i’m assuming) you had a great time. Unfortunately not everyone gets treated that way by greek life. Regardless, we appreciate your apology and we love the both of you. 💕💕

Humanity means reflecting and admitting when you could have done things better. 🥰

Your perspective is still valid Sarah, its not like you went on camera and straight-up lied to us. You gave your perspective which is all anyone can do. Were you a little too defensive of greek life? Maybe, but we live and learn. Your thoughts, ideas, and opinions have value. I respect you for posting this.

Thank you for taking the comments and criticism seriously! My sister also has a good experience in Greek Life and it can blind you. This was a well thought out apology and it’s seen and appreciated.

Appreciate the acknowledgment, though remember those systematic issues do not invalidate your positive experiences either 💙

Sarah here, in regards to this weeks episode.
I’m reading all your comments and I’d like to sincerely apologize.
My privilege and personal experience completely overshadowed the objective truth that Greek life is incredibly toxic. Sororities have a long history of racism, homophobia, fatphobia, and a dangerous overall culture. I’m very sorry about how little I spoke on these issues, how dismissive I was, and how much I’ve let you all down.
And you all are right, today I would not have the same Greek life experience.
Sororities and fraternities are cultish, they are highly judgmental, and being rejected from them hurts *for whatever reason*. I am deeply sorry for my continuous bad takes on this weeks episode. In the future, I will be better.
