Don't all throw stones, fruit or other virtual objects at me, but, what happened to looking out for each other? Regardless of what chapter we are a member of, let alone a member at all?
Color me Pollyanna, not being from Texas and understanding all of the culture, but perhaps if someone had noticed that said aforementioned connected legacy was in such terrible shape, took the extra time to look out for her and get her to a safe place, then this poor thing would not have occurred. Isn't that what sisterhood and Panhellenic spirit is all about? Looking out for each other in good times and bad. Please tell me that Panhellenic would not have frowned upon such an act or considered it dirty rushing. We all have stories to tell of either ourselves or our sisters who drank too much and did something less than eloquent but they got taken care of. Instead of feeling ashamed, think of what that woman would have seen if someone had made the simple effort to take care of her; the true meaning of sisterhood. Oh, and if word did around campus about the sisters/chapter who helped her, I would only hope that it would boast their reputation to be caring, warm, strong and dependable instead of the ones who helped "that drunk girl."
Time to get off of my soapbox...
