Also, in reading the article, the only affiliation to the Chi Omega house is that one of the people arrested happens to live there, and the other one has her Chi O membership on facebook. What does that have to do with getting arrested for coke?
They were arrested at an off campus apartment, rented by an independent guy (there's more information in today's article about the alum, and it seems like they got the message about leaving the greek stuff out, because there's not a peep about greek affiliation)
