Chelsea Clinton, (Temporary) Sorority Girl

Chelsea Clinton is reaching out to the sorority sisters.

As UWire reports, Clinton told members of the "Inter-Sorority-Council" at Stanford, her alma mater, that her mother's campaign is looking to be more accessible. California votes on Feb. 5th, and with uncertainty in the Democratic race, the delegate-rich state could make a difference.

"The strategy seems almost ingenious: target an all-female slice of the Stanford population that may be less politically engaged but more socially connected, and present them with an impressive young woman who lived in the Cowell cluster herself ten years ago," write The Stanford Daily editors.

But the event wasn't quite as accessible as some Stanford students would have liked, as non-Greeks were frozen out of the event. "Chelsea's mum appearance sponsored by the sorority system, a naturally exclusive institution that accepts and rejects candidates based on notoriously subjective qualifications, only perpetuates the major criticisms of the Clinton campaign," write the editors.
