I have seen the movie 5 times and one scene I have trouble understanding the scene where the four are at the table and right before Lureen say "Husbands never seem to want to dance with there wives. Why is that Jack?" Then of course, Jack asks Lashawn to dance.  But As they are sitting at the table I have trouble understanding Lashawn talking to Lureen. I somehow get the idea that these couples recently met... Lashawn says something about 'sorority sisters?"  Does anyone know what they are talking about?

The screenplay may help

Lashawn: (chatters like a squirrel...she did like that, didn't she?)
Pleded Tri Delt at SMU and I sure never thought I'd end up in a pokey little place like Childress, but then I met Randall at an Aggie game, and he was an animal husbandry major, and we been here a month, he got the foreman job over at Roy Taylor's ranch. Like it or not, here I am!

Lureen: Oh you was Tri Delt? I was Kappa Phi myself.

Lashawn (impatient): Well, even though we ain't quite sorority sisters, we may have to dance with ourselves, Lureen. Our husbands ain't the least bit interested in dancin, they don't seem to have a smidging of rhythm between 'em."

Lureen: It's funny, ain't it? Husbands don't never seem to dance with their wives. Why do you think that is, Jack?

They spoke about their time in college where LaShawn was in Tri Delt, and Lureen in Kappa Phi.  The couple met Jack and Lureen when Randall's truck broke down and they helped out.

Ok, thanks guys... I thought there might something important as to what happened to Jack in there... I suppose this scene is to show how Jack and Lureen are getting along and then leads to the vieled  come-on to Jack out on the bench.

I didn't know until I read the 2003 screen play.  Even that version didn't say if Jack and Lureen knew the couple before.  Having said that if they only just met, I thought it was interesting the Randall asking Jack to go away to the cabin....

I have a "thought" about the scene mentioned here..having seen the movie seven times I always (from the first time) got the feeling that after Lureen asked Jack why husbands didn't dance with their wives he was actually looking at RANDALL and NOT La Shawn when he said "Wanna Dance?". My thought was that he knew LaShawn would interpret that as her being asked but it would let Randall know he was interested...Did anyone else see it that way?

Jack was directing the comment (would you like to dance) to Randall, not Lashawn. But outside the realm of the implausible, Lashawn takes it to be directed toward her after Randall's nod to her.
