But I do think that problems will come if they do manage to get on. I think this rumor will have an effect on their initial recruitment.
But to put the full brunt of the blame on Sig Ep is just ridiculous. I doubt we started the rumor, and I doubt we’re the only ones who have spread it. This isn’t Sig Ep’s fault, this isn’t my fault, this is just one of those things that has happened, and till now there has never been a reason to proactively address it. If they get on campus tonight then I guess there will be a reason.
Let me reiterate the fact that this rumor wasn’t started by Sig Ep, wasn’t originated by Sig Ep, wasn’t started by Sig Ep, and yes all three of those mean the same thing.
90% of my chapter probably doesn't even remember the name of the sorority that lived in our house. "THAT important?"
AND
While I have no idea if the rumor has even the slightest bit of credibility, I‘m pretty sure my chapter is responsible for it still being circulated 20+ years later. Sig Ep bought the AOPi house in 1980, and the witchcraft rumor has become part of the chapter’s folklore, passed from semester to semester, pledge class to pledge class. Stories like that tend to get a mind of their own over time, so I can only assume there is little basis in fact, but even the most outlandish tales are often wrapped around a kernel of truth. Whether or not they were kicked off campus for witchcraft I’m very interested in where that rumor originated. If anyone knows anything else about the FSU AOPi chapter I’d love to hear it.
As far as them coming back to FSU, if you don’t think a rumor like that would be held against them you’re fooling yourself. How long would it take before that chapter got pegged as “witches,” regardless of the validity of the claims?
AND
As for my role in perpetuating it, I’m sorry but I’ve really never saw it as detrimental to anyone considering we don’t have an AOPi chapter and haven’t for 20+ years.

OK, dude you have a serious medical problem; you seem to have the problem of talking out both sides of your mouth!!!
They will have problems... They won't have problems... They may have problems.
We systematically spread the rumor semester-to-semester, pledge class to pledge class. We didn't do anything wrong by spreading the rumor. We didn't spread the rumor...
We are responsible for starting the rumor... We aren't responsible for starting the rumor...
We bought and lived in the AOII house. And, we spread the rumor... But, I'm SURE the pledges didn't know which sorority we were speaking of...
Make up your mind... Or better yet, just leave this topic be.
