Is Greek life really like that?
If so, I need to move to Greece.

College is not cultural appropriation, partying, having sex, alcohol, etc... is not exclusive to anyone. And no, you were trolling in the OP.

lol, there is no exact definition of SJWs because it's some stupid term invented online. At the end of your own post, you said "that's not what I refer as SJWs," so clearly you already know there is no exact definition. I've seen SJW used to describe all types of people, depending on the agenda of the person saying it.

why not? Is the US NOT using Greek letters to represent the frat houses/sororities? Is the college life NOT called Greek life?
One could argue that they are implying that all Greeks do are party, get drunk, have sex e.t.c.

How did I miss this?

Why are you asking? You need to ask people if something is offensive? Can't you rely on your feelings on whether you feel offended or not? Stop expecting people to answer everything for you.

I think that the SJW movement started for a noble purpose but completely got out of hand. Seriously, no one should be offended if someone appreciates their culture and takes inspiration from it. I love how Italy's culture is so iconic and I'm honored to share it with anyone (but please, Americans, understand that nothing you eat is even close to Italian food).

People refer to everyone who speak on social issues as "SJW" these days. Anyone who talks about racism, sexism, gender issues, etc is an SJW to others who don't want to understand. Maybe it started out as a term for extremists, but it's definitely turned into just a blanket term.

Well it clearly seems like you think it's cultural appropriation based on how far you've gone to convince us it is

See, RIGHT THERE. THAT obnoxiousness is what defines most SJW.
I JUST said i was wrong and I'm trying to understand what you people are saying and trying to explain it to me, and you CONTINUE to act like you are ABOVE everyone else and stand by what you think is the truth, when in fact, ITS NOT.

"SEE RIGHT THERE" not you feeling like you won an argument for a second 
It doesn't matter if you apologized for the use of SJW/outnumbered radical leftists, this is trolling:

Should I, as a Greek, be offended by this? Greek life is all about parties and alcohol and sex. Should i start calling out the US College system?
