[Erik P Conard]

Why does Chi Omega have to bear responsibility/implied blame,
or what have you in this case? The victim had resigned from the
sorority. This in itself is not common. Why? Chi Omega is one of the finest sororities...at least on most campuses.
What on earth did Chi O have to do with it...the reporter, likely an
ignorant but hurried writer, really did the Chi O's no favors.
The mention, in some reports, that the girl really knew how to
party...even in high school...hints at someone who was perhaps
out of control. This has been seemingly well-hidden, too.
The Sig Pi buddies...well, they--too--may be innocent. She was
obviously known to them and they were not too concerned to find her passed out...for whatever reason. They're paying dearly
for their admitted stupidity...we should all learn from this, too.
This slant is but one which we all must endure, and but another
of the reasons to advocate responsible drinking.
It is tragic that the young girl lost her life, but it is also possible that Chi Omegas and Sigma Pis are not guilty of creating this.
