Checked the Daily Northwestern again today, and again no follow-up. In a sense of fair play, here is a letter to the editor which takes the opposite view of the second letter above.

"Freshman's morality irrelevant in examining incident at Delt

Despite Jacqueline G's claim in her Thursday letter that she wasn't seeking to "blame the victim," she missed the central issue entirely.

People at Northwestern have sex; this should come as no surprise. The morality of the freshman is by no means relevant to the allegations that numerous fraternity members disrespected her and potentially damaged her NU experience by taking pictures that now could be making the rounds online.

By no means is every member of Delta Tau Delta undeserving of respect, but part of being in a fraternity is that you are a member of a brotherhood, and everyone in the house, guilty or not, will suffer as a result of this.

I applaud the freshman for speaking out. It's scary as hell taking on the wrath of an entire Greek house, but she made the campus aware of her story.

So can you really blame her for not telling the entire campus her name? Her privacy has already been violated enough.

To Delta Tau Delta: If these allegations are true, and it wasn't a ritual and it wasn't planned, then what exactly were your reasons? Because I'm at a loss.

DA Note: The reality is that in the courts -- but more importantly, in the court of public opinion, the young woman's morality will be questioned. Fair or not, that's just the way it is.

ETA Nothing new in the Tribune or WMAQ (NBC Station) either.
