Stetson Sorority Allegedly Stole Copies of Newspaper

Some members of a sorority at Stetson University in Florida allegedly stole copies of an issue of the student paper. This kind of thing seems to happen a few times every year on different campuses. It usually means just more publicity for a story that some people didn’t like, and a little disciplinary action:

Excerpts from longer article:

. . . members of a campus sorority allegedly stole about 700 copies of the paper. . . .

[the Dean of Students] said the university is investigating the theft, but would not confirm the sorority in question’s identity. She also said the sorority is not making any statements to the media. . . .

Staff members reprinted the stolen copies, but are estimating a loss of $2,300 in advertising revenue and printing costs. . . .

[the Dean of Students] said she anticipates that the sorority in question will pick up the cost of reprinting the paper and the lost advertising revenue. Both [the editor of the paper] and [the Dean of Students] said the sorority's chapter president has said she will make a formal apology to the newspaper staff soon.
