However, Vida was taking part in a before-school rush and dropped out before she even started pledging. She didn't take a spot that some other girl who really wanted it could have had.
It's one thing to be a 60 Minutes person and pretend you are buying a car. But to pretend to be something you're not for A WHOLE YEAR?? Did she go to class? If not, how did she explain that away? I smell a rat too - it says 4 sorority members were willing to risk expulsion to help her. If she was undercover, how did they know they would be expelled for talking to her?
I'm betting this is something that she and the other women conspired on and is totally false. I hope Katie Couric rips her a new one.
Edited to add this link, don't know if it is real, but LMAO if this is part of her "research."
