SIU probing thefts, sorority
Southern Illinois University Carbondale officials have launched an investigation into two students' claims they stole merchandise from a local store as part of their initiation into a sorority.
Two pledges — Jamila Coachman, 23, of Carbondale, and Renita Davis, 19, of Riverdale — were arrested in June after stealing nearly $200 worth of items, primarily socks, from a Wal-Mart in Carbondale. They pleaded guilty earlier this month to misdemeanor theft and each was sentenced to 18 months court supervision.
Austin said during that hearing the women's attorneys told the judge that the two knew what they did was wrong but that they wanted to join the sorority.

Way to represent your organization, new members! I wonder whose idea that was-- theirs or their local chapter's? This is a great lesson of why we think before we act 1) Am I going to look like an idiot when I am caught (because somewhere down the line, the truth will come out), 2) Will my organization become a laughingstock because of my poor decision making and representation of my GLO.
I agree-- not too smart.
