Get mad if you want to, but this type of thing is happening with one of the sororities on my campus right now and is a real possibility.

I am one of the scandalous Alpha Xi Delta alumnae that is terrorizing UF.
I was at the meeting that's mentioned in that newspaper article that Laura was so inspired to post. Please understand, we were *completely* willing to step back and let the group from nationals do their thing. The mess started when they started lying to us, constantly changing their mind about the role we would play and what we were allowed to do and saying one thing and doing another.
And as to the charge of whether we were an "ugly" sorority or not - our website is still up (I think because they haven't bothered to take it down yet) so judge for yourself.

the pictures are all from the last year or so.
I'm so sick of all of this. It was one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever gone through or watched friends go through. Keep in mind, those of you who say that our nationals *must* have known best, that we *must* have been ugly, that we *must* have been unsocial, whatever, for all this to happen, this simple fact ...
You were not there. We were, and we know in our hearts what the truth is.
The Zeta Omicron Chapter of Alpha Xi Delta at the University of Floria exemplified sisterhood in the truest sense of the word. I have never felt such love and support from any group of people, save my family, in my entire life. Our National Organization chose not to give us the support we needed over the past couple years, and events spun out of our control. Even other Greeks at UF likely do not know anything more than rumors and exaggerations.
Our charter is gone but the sisterhood lives on!
TFJ to all who share this in their hearts.
