UF Sigma Chi's could be in trouble
 

The UFSigma Chi's are accuse of dumping flour, milk, bourbon and maggots and some of the women of Kappa Alpha Theta at a date function.

That is so gross. I hope they get fried.

I wonder why the Thetas let them take them out there and blindfold them, knowing what they'd done in the past?

It depends on their relationship.. You never know.. there could be an exchange of pranks between the two groups and this one simply just went too far.

I'm SURE there is something to this that's not being told.

Hmm. This sounds like something that was an old tradition between the 2 groups, but then the sorority had a big membership turnover or took lots of women who didn't like Sigma Chi.

A fraternity and sorority on my campus had a slip & slide pimps/hos mixer every year...they were very close and did lots of things together. But I don't think anyone else would have suggested that with them.

Man...why can't we just all have fun. College is suposed to be the most fun ever. Why do some people have to be imature? I hate this. We as Greeks should set the example. This rant is going to be placed in Chit Chat, as does not neccisalry relate to Greek life.

Well, dumping flour on someone is one thing, especially if it's a "tradition" and is expected to happen (flour is relatively harmless). But blindfolding and dumping maggots and bourbon is another thing entirely. Who thought that would be "fun and neat"? And how did that fit with the theme of the mixer? (Who knew bikers wasted their bourbon pouring it on other people?).

Of course, I went to a school where elaborate "announcings" and serenades didn't happen, so I can't speak from experience.

Here are some pictures from their annoncing. I'm assumning this is the event that the newspaper was refering to. I had no idea that this is what happens at some kinds of announcing. We just bring candy and ast nice to our dates...jeesh...

I find myself saying this more and more.

Unbelievable.

These guys are WAY over the line.

If it's a tradition and consensual, can't really see too much harm in flour and bourbon.

BUT MAGGOTS???????????????????????????? I would be PISSED AS HELL if I was someone that that happened to, or if it was one of my sisters.

And the other stuff they said they did and "toned it down"- draping dead animals over the girls? That is sick. Not to mention highly unsanitary.

People have some f'ed up ideas of "fun". These guys deserve whatever punishment is given to them.

What is an announcing? And WHAT dear God is going on in that last picture posted?

Um, OK, call me old (I'm all of 24!) but when I was in school we never would have allowed a sister to get on her knees in front of a fraternity man to eat something out of his pants! If a sister did this it would be a reason to write her up.
Maybe I'm a grump but this doesn't look like a whole lotta fun to me.:p

I'm just nearing 22, but I'm with you--that is ridiculous. My attitude might get me labelled "uptight" sometimes, but at least I don't get caught in situations like those poor gals.

I just can't believe that they wasted perfectly good bourbon. That's a real crime!

Yet another reason to THINK before you hire these photo companies to take pictures of your events. (Nothing against the photo companies, read on. . .) Would you be proud to show these photos to your parents, your neices/nephews/younger siblings, or your church family? ANYONE can see these pictures when the proofs are on the internet. I've gone to some of the popular photo company websites and seen "XYZ Sorority Bid Night" with alcohol in the pictures. According to my knowledge of the Green Book, Bid Night is still the last night of recruitment, and should be dry. If I can find those pictures, so can National Staff. Why risk it?

I'm not saying that I am totally innocent and never did some crazy, questionable things with guys, but there aren't pictures of it (that have surfaced, at least).

In any case, the message is: STOP AND THINK. . .SEVERAL TIMES!!
