I don't know who is telling the truth but the timeline makes me question her.

According to the article she witnessed events 4/9/10, complained and the "hazing" began. She initiated 8/16/10.

Question 1 for her: Why did you continue to be part of an organization that "hazed" you for 4 more months and then decide to initiate?

To me this makes no sense. I get she is young but really unless she is so desperate for the need to belong, why would you WILLINGLY initiate into an organization that you claim is hazing you? I don't get it.

Question 2: Why did you move into the house with the women you claim were hazing you?

She then went to honor councils on 10/17/10 and 11/17/10.

She called nationals on 11/15/10 to complain about the "abuse". (So now I question her motives. Did she call nationals because she had only been initiated 3 months prior, had already been brought to honor council once and was about to go a second time).

She was then brought to honor council for the 3rd time 3/15/10 and was told on 3/18/10 that she was about to be brought the 4th time (which could mean loss of membership).

So in 9 months of being an initiated member she was brought to honor council 4 times.

She then moved out of the house 4/3/11.

But then waited to file a LAWSUIT until October 2011.

For me it's like wait a minute.
1. why did you join if you were being hazed?
2. why did you move into the house?
3. did you speak to the advisors or did you go straight to nationals?
4. why did you wait OVER a year to file a lawsuit (which to me most lawsuits are about people wanting money).

The kicker, the trial won't be for another year and half.

Something about what she is claiming seems very fishy to me. Like I just cannot imagine the advisors to the chapter or nationals sitting back and doing nothing, which it seems like that is the basis of her argument. Considering NPC has a no hazing policy and all the sororities have no hazing policies, schools have no hazing policies, I just don't buy it.

Especially if what the article claimed was true, that the chapter had been given 8 sanctions for hazing. If this were true, then they would have been on the Tri-Sigma radar of "we need to closely watch this chapter".

Something about it doesn't make me believe her.

I do think that she did tell and that she did suffer backlash for telling. But I don't think she is telling the whole story, the fact that she was brought up to 4 honor councils in 9 months doesn't say much for her.

Just my opinion.
