Yes, people can be "so dramatic," but what did the women who did the harrassment expect? And what was the sorority chapter thinking? Greek Affairs at the U. of Colorado posts its alcohol policy on its web site, and among the policies are
". . . no member chapter of the University of Colorado Interfraternity and Panhellenic Councils will tolerate the illegal underage consumption of alcohol . . ." (which would seem to preclude supplying boxes of wine to pledges, unless they strictly doled out the wine only to those 21 and older)
and
". . . no member chapter of the University of Colorado Interfraternity and Pamhellenic Councils will host any function in its house or on its property during which alcohol is distributed or consumed . . . ." (IF -- I'm saying IF -- the "sleepover" was at the sorority house, that's a violation too. If the "sleepover" was held elsewhere, it's certainly not good judgment to supply alcohol.)

I think she meant "People can be so dramatic" in that whole "Why are these people making such a big deal out of one girl depledging/one investigation?" In my opinion, if I were these girls -- hey, this girl who depledged has already established herself as the type of person who has no qualms about telling on you when you break the rules. So why would you go out of your way to do something that's going to not only get you in trouble again, but probably add more suspicion that you're guilty of the first charge as well? If these girls had lain low, it would have been a relatively low-key investigation by the school and probably Tri Delt HQ -- now it's national news and the sanctions are likely to be greater.
On the plus side, it sounds like these girls were pledges so their revenge scheme may not have been okay-ed by the other girls in the organization. On the negative side, I'm sure HQ will be investigating this because the whole wine thing definitely smacks of hazing.
