We thoroughly planned our themes, decorations, songs, pref ceremony, pref letters, etc. We practiced everything for hours. During recruitment, I got little sleep because we had to go over everything several times. I'm very offended that you call this "little preparation and practice."
Also, everyone's saying how ridiculous it is that 5 chapters got put on probation because of their Rho Chis. Well, sorry to break it to you, but it was not just the Rho Chis that were drinking. That's why no one's upset at their Rho Chis because it was pretty much a chapter-wide thing. There were pictures on Facebook, and it was pretty obvious that many girls were intoxicated. Everyone is just upset at the whole situation. But NO ONE is upset at their Rho Chis.
We've never had a really strong Greek advisor or administration that really enforced the rules or knew how to enforce the rules, I guess. Because for years things like this have been going on without any consequences. I guess it's good that they're trying to change Greek Life at Towson for the better.

I was only speaking for AOII. I think I said that several times. Since I am not an member of your sorority, I wouldn't know what your chapter put in for rush, so don't be offended by my comments. If you went to a southern school, you'd see the difference in recruitment prep that I speak of. Anyway, I am aware that some chapters were guilty of more than having drunk Rho Chis...but, AOII was not one of those chapters. Again, I said I was speaking for my chapter which was supervised by two alumnae who had stressed to the girls that drinking was not allowed. I agree with you that having a greek advisor that would enforce rules would make Greek life at Towson better. There are amazing chapters at this school, but any group will get out of control if not advised well.
