P.S. The Sigma Chi's at UF from what I hear don't have a bad reputation... so I personally was surprised to hear about this incident!

If that was my chapter, we would have been dealt with severely.


Personally, I think Sigma Chi has gotten off light as hell over the years. In 1999 when frats were getting expelled or put on probation left and right......Sigma Chi didn't get $hit done to them, while the rest of us got expelled...those that didn't were put on probation. Only a select few didn't have any problems.

I have/had many friends in that chapter.....just about all my high school friends and many I met my freshman year at UF were in Sigma Chi......believe me.....they're no angels.


I'm guessing all of you were'nt around in 98-99......ask some of your older sisters how bad things were, and how lucky Sigma Chi was.

New info, the sanctions...

anti-greek articles.
 

As a journalism major and a member of the editorial board, I know what goes into a paper. Out of our editorial staff, 90 percent of us are Greek. The practicum class is at least 70 percent Greek. We still have to print "anti greek" articles, because it is news. We printed 2 stories fall quarter about a fraternity and sorority on our campus being fined and put on probation due to a situation. It's not that we wanted to gossip, it was printed so that people would know the TRUTH, instead of going around saying "Oh I heard xyz is on suspension because they wore their pink catsuits outside on a full moon".

Would it have been better to have NOT heard about this?

The T+C took some heat fall quarter because we printed a story about a student who was arrested for importuning (basically an officer posed as a 12 year old girl who wanted to meet this guy, the student was arrested, later not charged). But people were OUTRAGED that we printed that story. They said we ruined this kid's senior year of college. No, I think he did that himself. We just report the news, good , bad, indifferent. If someone at my chapter burned down a house, I'd still print a story about it, no matter how bad it made us look. Papers can't be all daisies and coutillions, shit happens. Unfortunately for these two orgs, it fell on them.

And when you graduate into the alleged "real" world of Journalism, nothing will change except that you won't have the support of that many other Greeks around.

Everyone is quick to point to the nasty old media when the obvious situation is that when something newsworthy happens, it's very likely to get covered.

What sorority was she in & what happened to her? Where is she now? :confused:
