Jon,

Good post, but while we all know it's true, it doesn't excuse the alleged fact that the drinking did happen in what is supposed to be a dry house and the alcohol was provided by people who should know better (I assume SAE has an alcohol awareness program).

ETA, after going back and reading the original story, it appears that the young woman was transported by ambulance from her dorm, not the SAE House:

"Ann Hudgens, executive director of campus life, who is responsible for overseeing the affairs of the Greek system, confirmed Tuesday that the student was transported by ambulance on the evening of Sept. 16 from her residence hall.

"It is my understanding that an ambulance run did occur, but not from the SAE house itself," Hudgens said."

Two other things to touch on. I recall that initially campus authorities were investigating to see if the woman might have been drinking in other places before and/or after the SAE House -- which is good in that they aren't simply on a fraternity witch hunt.

Second, it appears from one of the links Jon supplied that there is/was a grace period during which the chapter could appeal which could account for the Homecoming Parade appearance.
