The sorority is Delta Gamma. The school is Ole Miss (The University of Mississippi). Same school PiPhiJulie currently attends and MSKKG attended.

The subject is the race for Associated Student Body President. There are several accusations of violations. Piazza a candidate and member of Delta Gamma was fined $50 and a major penalty for fining sorority members not going to vote for her (she also evidently lied about this during a debate). Case the other candidate is a member of Phi Delt. I am not sure I understand, but I believe he is charged/disqualified for spending more than he was allotted on the campaign or not accounting for all of his spendiures, meeting with more than allotted amount of people before the election and giving people rides to vote. No one knows who won, however, you can speculate that Case did or the violations would not be subject here. Also, I understand that according to the bylaws, both candidates were supposed to be disqualified. Though, only Case was disquailified. Delta Gamma has not lost an election in ten years(?), there has not been a women ASB president in 25 years(?), and rumour is that many of the current ASB members openly supported Piazza.
