I don't think anyone is saying her former sisters shouldn't be sad about her death - Erik is referring to
"formal mourning" which is basically what they were doing with the ribbons. It isn't appropriate, any more than it would be appropriate for a woman who divorced her husband 30 years ago to wear formal mourning for him. I know that their hearts were in the right place but if they wanted to do something like that it should have been campus wide rather than implying an association that has ceased to exist.
