And for what it's worth, photos can be altered or doctored. I would find them the least credible thing to hang something on, and one of these days that's going to happen - photoshopped photos online expressly to get a group in trouble and the group fights it.

No one did a did a breathalyzer test on her or the other girls involved - it looked like just an accident and they (the university and the EMS) treated it as such. Photos have been used as evidence in legal trials for decades. Even though Photoshop is more prevalent now than in past eras, photos are still often highly regarded as evidence, along with witness testimony. All evidence is falliable.

Can I ask who exposed these photos? I'm only asking because I find it surprising that actives would have public profiles for anyone to go in and look at their pictures. Especially if it is during recruitment!

If these girls are stupid enough to drink on Bid Day, I doubt they'd apply any common sense to making their FaceBook pictures private. :rolleyes:

Don't bring logic into this! Next you're going to say that people wouldn't post any pictures of illicit or illegal activity on the internet!

Hahaha, a lot of the girls actually have been good about making their profiles private, but not all of them do, and not all of them restrict their pictures, especially if they're posted by someone else. I don't know who went to the University, or if the University took the initiative themselves to look up profiles of members and new members. I've heard several stories, but I don't know which is true (if any).

a sorority on this campus who had an unsuccessful rush and is jealous of all the other sororities because they are essentially the worst chapter. they targeted one chapter in particular and their advisor took pictures of them drinking in the parking garage, in the union, and on the field. this caused the tu administration to further look into the situation, and they found more pictures on facebook from four of the other chapters.

instead of focusing their energy trying to make their own chapter better and focus on how to recruit better, they choose to do this. oh well.

hmmm... i wonder why no one wants to join their sorority... :rolleyes:

Perhaps instead of blaming this chapter, the groups that were "targeted" should blame themselves for drinking in the parking garage, union and field. That's pretty stupid and if you do that you deserve to get busted.

I think it's insane that this clearly went on for many years and the adminstration knew, but didn't stop it. On the other hand, it's a stupid thing to do and everyone involved should be glad that someone didn't get seriously hurt or worse because of the behavior. It would be nice to see the girls (or if it's a chapterwide problem, chapters) stepping up and taking responsibility for the stupidity of their actions instead of blaming another chapter for turning them in and blaming it on jealously regarding recruitment results. Since drinking at Bid Day festivities violates NPC agreements, we know that having any alcohol at Bid Day is in violation of policy and something SHOULD have been done.

I couldn't agree more.

The bottom line is, people where KNOWINGLY breaking the rules. They didn't expect to get busted, but they finally did.

Now they are all pissy because they were busted and are crying about the leanest sentence ever. They could have been on probation ALL ACADEMIC YEAR, but they essentially got four months.

So what? They can schedule their formals and mixers for the year around it.

I hope the chapter leadership, advisors included, will step up to the plate so that their own sistes don't embarrass them again next year.

Aw, someone got busted? Perhaps if you weren't breaking the rules whether you were of the "targetted" chapter or just one who was idiotic enough to post drunken pictures on facebook, you wouldn't have gotten caught.


Seriously, this is a bit like "Well I speed by there all the time and I've never gotten a ticket, so the cop shouldn't get to pull me over THIS time." Just because no one busted you before doesn't mean you didn't deserve it, nor does it mean that you should get some sort of pass.

Focus on hating on the people who "got you caught" because that clearly addresses the problem :rolleyes:

Your (I'm assuming sock-puppet) user name is unnecessary and the barely "blind" reference to your fellow panhellenic GLO is similarly unnecessary. Don't break standing NPC rules just because you think your chapter is "cool" enough to be above them. No one is and you do your GLO and all greeks a disservice when you blame others for your getting caught making poor decisions that have consequences.

Uncalled for and immature.

tinydancer16 10-23-2007 12:26 PM

I've been trying to stay out of this thread for what I'm sure are obvious reasons. However it is somewhat common, or at least easily accessible knowledge that I go to Towson so I'd like to go on record saying that the above "sock puppet" statement was not mine (I don't know if there's any way to prove that for sure but I'd like to think that people will take my word for it). I have my own views on the situation, some angles of which have yet to be discussed but I don't want to start anything here and I do not want to do anything that will reflect negatively on my sorority or my school so feel free to PM me. Thanks.

PS - HAPPY KAPPA DELTA FOUNDERS DAY! :D

At least you had the decency to use a sock puppet username but you were too dumb/rude to mask which chapter you were talking about. You might as well have named them.

I pretty much assumed it was not you or AXiDgirl10 because the poster makes reference to the angry chapter "taking pictures of one and finding the other four on facebook". That would suggest to me that the sockpuppet would not be an AGD, AXiD or KD. If the poster were AGD (definitely not), AXiD or KD, I don't think she would make reference to "the five" that were caught, which suggests to me that she is from one of those 5.
