It seems that Mary's boss is taking the word of some disgruntled ex-fraternity member who may or may not be telling the truth over her, an employee of 22 years. It seems like a pretty lame excuse for "reassigning" her -- like he was looking for ANY possible reason to get rid of her.

Mary isn't easy on us - i remember our presdent coming home from meetings and being amazed that Mary puts so much pressure on us to be upstanding and exceptional on campus. She prides herself in the fact that she is our friend, but she is not willing to risk her job to be it. We also want to make her proud; she does go out on a limb for us when administration is breathing down our necks. And honestly - if some one came to Mary concerned about something in their chapter (ie the hazing) there is no way she would decline to hear their story! it is her job to hear that story! Mary is a compassionate woman, she is also one of the advisors for Dance Marathon so that is where I know her the best. She pushes us to be excellent b/c we are capable of it. This is just ridiculous...
