Yes Old Row, that is correct. I had not seen that letter. Sigma had been a local (called Tau Chi Rho) for about 15 years before affiliating with Sigma and kept a lot of their "traditions" and I think it eventually became their demise. Sigma was one of the first NPC groups at Hofstra - I was a charter member of my group about same time they went w/ Sigma. My group was not previously a local and many of my sisters had depledged from locals b/c of their "traditions". My group just celebrated our 25th anniversary.
More on the story here. This lovely young woman had so much to live for. I ache for this family and her friends and all involved. Students will wear white ribbbons at graduation today to remember Andrea.
Note to nutbrown and all - this campus cannot house all the students who want to love on campus so it s common to rent local houses around campus. Greek housing is not allowed (County rule) but women rent houses together and it becomes a meeting spot and called the $%^ house regardless of whether or not it was sanctioned (or insured) or not.
