Her parents, aunt and whoever are likely suing everyone because if they don't sue Pike, the RAs, etc. now, they can't re-file the claim later. It doesn't mean that Pike, or anyone for that matter, will be held liable. As for whether or not they should be liable, I don't think anyone should make judgments on the situation if they don't know all the facts. (A newspaper article as a source for judgment is not always accurate or complete) Refer up to dzandliloo's post regarding the elements that they'll have to prove because that is all we know right now about the status of this suit.
As for the character attack on the victim...who cares if the girl was in foster care or stripped to make money. Does that justify what happened to her? I'd like to think that if something like this happened to me people would not be so quick to jump on the "blame the victim" bandwagon. Let's try not to judge the actions or character of the deceased if you weren't there to see it.

whoa there.
I think what most posters that are bringing up the stripping are pointing to is the supposed 'concern' for her well being by her mother and aunt. Their point is this, if they cared so much for her, why did they let her strip and not attempt to help her out.
I'm personally staying out of the stripping argument. My main beef is that PKA and other fraternities need to learn to be extremely careful with who they permit to attend parties. I'd like to think that the brothers who invited these 2 animals should face some sort of repercussion within their chapterl. I'd push for a reduction of social events and the loss of invitation abilities. By inviting these 2 boneheads, those brothers put their chapter at risk.
I'm not insinuating that the loss of a charter is more heinous than what happened to the girl, just saying that PKA could have done a better job.
