I'll defer to 33girl's judgement on the HQ/versus University and politics. I don't pretend to understand how all of that works, so ....

Always Alpha Gam-Let me clarify my strong reputation comment because I don't know what happened, but if they were hazing I don't want to come across like I'm saying, "Well, sure they hazed, but they're such a great group who cares."

I can't begin to explain the mind of an 18 year old girl or what they thought had happened or had heard happened, but yeah, I think there are some girls that if they know a certain chapter is popular on that campus and has always been pretty popular at that school then they either a) don't care if they were accused of hazing or b) don't think it was that big of a deal. I know what daughter heard happened the first time, but I don't know at all if any of it was true. People hear a lot of rumors and things get exaggerated, so who knows. Either way, they were willing to take that risk.

I will say - daughter had several close friends in that group the year she was there and loved them. They were also one of her favorite groups going through recruitment. This all came out after that, but I know it was sad for her to hear because the girls she knew in that chapter were fun, funny, smart girls and she couldn't imagine them doing what she heard was done.
