I don’t think its really my place to say what exactly happened and what didn't because I personally wasn't there. But what I can say is that I know some of the girls on the team and know that they are awesome people and that what the newspaper is alleging is absolutely out of their character. It is a general consensus on this campus that what the newspapers are saying is a distortion of the facts.
I think the problem is that some people get upset with different people and exaggerate events to try to get those people in trouble. As all of us know, as Greeks, whenever the word "hazing" is mentioned everyone goes on high alert. Whether or not actual "hazing" occurred gets lost in the media propaganda and poor girls get dragged out in the media spot light to be made to look like monsters. I think instead of immediately condoning the girls, people should look farther in the case.
It simply is not fair to immediately believe that the girls are guilty. They are after all American Citizens too, and isn’t it America where your innocent until proven guilty? I stand by my earlier comments, and hope that this situation will be cleared and that these girls can go on with their lives and move on from this ugly situation.
My prayers and thoughts are with the families of everyone involved in this case because this is a hard time for everyone involved.
