     Typically the srat look consists of chacos and big t-shirts. But even people who are not a part of Greek life still dress that way because we live in Arkansas. It is the natural state and we like to be comfortable.

     Apparently, the situation isn't unique to srats. If you post a complaint about Tesla to social media, you might get a similar request to delete your post. […] If Tesla's gonna act like a sorority on overdrive, maybe they shouldn't tell their customers to post the very comments they want to take down. At least srat standards boards have clear guidelines!
