Just to clear some things up, sometimes in Tri Delta, the RM chair and the social chair are one in the same. This is the case in my chapter although I don't know if it's true for Stanford. This is a good idea in theory, intended to keep the social chair from planning inappropriate events. But in reality I think it often leads to a conflict of interest since the RM chair's responsibility is to make sure everybody stays safe and the social chair's responsibility is to make sure everybody has fun, and as we all know, in college those two do not always go hand in hand. I can't even imagine how difficult of a job it is to balance those two.

You beat me too it!!!
We just seperated our RM and Social chair, because of the inherent conflicts.
And don't forget, the RM is still a student, is still a sister, and is still a human. While this incident certianly was very wrong, people make HUGE mistakes in their lives sometimes. My point is, yes she should have known better, yes she should be held to a higher standard because she sets the standard for the other chapter members, but she isn't this holy person on a pedastol who never does wrong.
As far as the punishment for the football players goes, 'through summer' thats a load of BS if I ever heard one. I am an intercollegic athlete and am a sister of Tri Delta, and as such I see the gross difference in punishment in my own, small, Division III school. The things the lax and soccer teams get away with.... the things my own team got away with before our coach started kicking people off for second offenses.
