As others have mentioned I don't think it is wise for DZ HQ to actually be pursuing this lawsuit. I guess they might be looking at it in the way 'we lost the battle but we'll win the war', which isn't the wisest thing to do. The media attention that was brought upon DZ with what happened has been nothing but negative. The bad thing about it is that negative publicity on greek life really effects us all, but it is going to effect them more.

They should really have just cut their losses and moved on and worry about the active chapters. They are the ones who are going to be walking into formal recruitment in the fall with all this media attention and negative scrutiny over thier heads. Telling your collegians how to respond to negative inquiries from PNM's should be a higher priority than a frivilous lawsuit. Even if they win, which I don't think they will, the campus most likely won't allow them to come back. And even if they were "ordered" to allow DZ back on campus, their reputations are shot and girls will probably not want to join.

I think they are looking at the small picture "I want action, I want justice' and not the big picture of "what is best for our collegians and alums nationwide. What is best for all sisters who proudly wear our letters?"

My heart really goes out to the women of DZ, this is not their fault, and they really are suffering the consequences more than anyone else.
