Drunk woman at 2 South Alabama fraternity houses...

Honestly, I don’t see why it matters if she’s Greek or not. Fraternities and sororities already have the reputation for heavy partying and drinking, that’s college reality. I don’t drink, never have, never will, which is why I see no excuse for this kind of behavior. She’s a clown, plain and simple. Alcohol never lifts people up, it only lowers dignity and raises trouble.

Because we get embarrassed if our letters are attached to her name. My group isn't at USA, but still...

Whomever she is…she needs an intervention:(

None of us wants our letters attached to clown behavior. But my point is, some of the stupidity, partying irresponsibly, hazing, and underage/over the top drinking tied to Greek orgs across the board isn’t much different than what that girl did on her own. And every council has documented cases. That’s why I don’t see why it matters if she’s Greek or not. The behavior is the same. Heavy drinking and clown behavior are so common in Greek life that I’m actually more surprised she isn’t Greek.

And real talk though, Greek life has weathered hazing deaths, lawsuits, racism scandals, bans on entire chapters, and it’s still here. One student arrest doesn’t change perception. So if Greeks can survive decades of our own scandals and stupidity, one drunk girl (Greek or non-Greek) misbehaving with or without letters isn’t moving the needle. It really isn’t.

Well, she's only 18. That means that, if she were Greek, she likely only just went through recruitment a month ago, is only a pledge, and not initiated yet. And if that's the case, methinks she's getting dropped from her sorority.

Her Instagram is set to private, but she is following the University of South Alabama Panhellenic account. USA has Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Omicron Pi, Chi Omega, Kappa Delta, and Phi Mu. That being said, I quickly checked - she's not showing as a follower of any of the individual chapters and none of those sororities are following her.

No contradiction at all. It’s completely possible to join a GLO without becoming the stereotype, that’s the part people forget. Saying “if she’s Greek, it’s embarrassing or worse” doesn’t hold water, because Greeks have already done the same that she has and worse. Attaching shame to this one girl is inconsistent with our own history (across the board), plain and simple.
