Or else, what? I won't be popular? Expelled from school?
I just don't understand why an email to a club got so much overexposure. Oh wait, never mind. It was a club with Greek letters. Which means that they drink, fornicate and pull more pranks leading to major bodily harm-- more so than any other students of that age. Of course!
This girl was a sophomore-- 19 years old. She was just trying to rally the troops to participate. Granted, her language and persuasive powers weren't well articulated, but she's just a kid. The media should give it a rest!

I totally agree that it's not worth half the hype it's getting, but it's a lil too easy to go, "give me a break! They did it just b/c they were intimidated or wanted to be cool?!" I have no idea if G Phi does this, but many sororities at Mizzou fine if you don't give or have 3 people give for you. My wallet would be motivation to do something like that.
