Speak for yourself, srmom! I have a (mild) Texas accent despite my growing up in Dallas!
Then again, I'm not so cosmopolitan!!!
I can't remember -- are you from TX or did you immigrate to go to SMU?
To be honest, I think SMU felt a lawsuit coming on. The increased media attention about this incident obviously had something to do with this. Isolated incident or not, something should have been done two years ago! It doesn't seem quite relevant now. I am hopeful, however, that Jake's parents may get some closure from SMU's inadequate investigation.
I'm VERY glad SAE didn't get kicked off campus; very few of the guys were a part of the chapter when this happened, and those guys are about to graduate. I knew some great SAEs in 2006, but since Jake's death, SAE has done a lot to turn their reputation around. They've gotten some really outstanding guys.
