This could happen to any chapter anywhere. Yes, every sorority has procedures in place. Standards should have been the first stop. However, I have seen Standards Boards put under peer pressure to overlook concerns. Yes, she should have gone to her advisors. Maybe she did and it was not considered as an issue as this to depends on the CAB and Chapter Council. I doubt she went to her National Organization as they would have taken action on the chapter. Going to the University was a big deal. I have a feeling she did it out of frustration. At a chapter with a size of 100 members or less , I find it is easier for them to deal with it in house but for our larger chapters a lot is covered up. I agree it is not fair to punish those not involved but were they complaint and silent and if so why? I served as Chairman of a HCB for 13 years and we have awesome members but sometimes you have a few that are not willing to follow the expectations. You need strong advisors. Some one should have seen the culture developing. And, for those of you who said this is no big deal. It is! Enough to close a chapter is up for debate.
We are under attack from people who don't think Greek Life should be on our campuses. This is not the time for "girls will be girls" or "boys will be boys" Thanks for letting me rant. Check out FSPAC and see where their concerns are for our future.
