Modern day "Bonnie" was a sorority member

LIVING LARGE
Pair charged with profiting from identity thefts at Center City condo
By REGINA MEDINA
Philadelphia Daily News
NOTE: THIS STORY HAS BEEN CORRECTED.
THE BOOK, quite telling, was found amid the newly purchased Ikea furnishings and the latest electronic appliances inside the tony Center City apartment.
Its title - "The Art of Cheating: A Nasty Little Book for Tricky Little Schemers and Their Hapless Victims" - may have said it all in the case of Jocelyn Kirsch and Edward K. Anderton. The scheming, the trickery, the artistry described in the title, may have been used by the couple to defraud local businesses, credit-card companies, and their neighbors at the Belgravia House Condos - apparently all in the name of a lavish lifestyle.
Philadelphia police began to unravel the finely tuned scheme over the weekend.
Kirsch, 22, and Anderton, 25, both of Chestnut Street near 18th, were arrested Friday on charges of stealing some of their neighbors' identities and establishing credit lines in their names. The duo also burglarized at least two of their neighbors' apartments and, police allege, they then faked Georgia state driver's licenses so they could open credit card accounts.
Anderton and Kirsch were charged with identity theft, conspiracy, unlawful use of a computer, forgery and a slew of other offenses, said Lt. George Ondrejka of Central Detectives.
Kirsch, a Drexel University student who is a former member of the sorority Delta Phi Epsilon, according to a Drexel Web site, and Anderton, a 2005 University of Pennsylvania graduate who was fired from his analyst job with Lubert-Adler Real Estate Funds, had just tried to pick up a lingerie package they had ordered from England.

ETA: According to another article, she's been inactive since 2005 and disaffiliated in March of this year.

Unfortunately, the chapter has not kept their website updated and when you google this woman's name, the chapter website is what pops up--so it got a mention. Delta Phi Epsilon responded immediately to correct the error.
Good lesson for all those chapter webmasters out there--KEEP IT UPDATED!!

AAhhhh... mystery solved. Thanks LPI! I retract my disgust and outrage, then. First thing I would have done is "googled" her too. I thought they were somehow trying to tie her "high living" lifestyle with the fact she was also a "sorority-type" or something along those lines...

I was wondering the same thing too.
FWIW, I copied the subject line from a post on a Greek LiveJournal community.
The 2nd article takes you to a Philly based source, so even though her affiliation has absolutely nothing to do with the crimes she committed, they're probably posting as much detailed info as possible to inform any of the locals who might know her. Dunno, just a guess.

" Modern day "Bonnie" was a sorority member "
So what? What makes this newsworthy?
It's naive to think no sorority member has ever gone bad, or that no independent can be good.

Take a deep breath and calm down. No one said that.

The story shouldn't be newsworthy. The only reason it is newsworthy is the girl is really hot and she has big titts. Her father is a plastic sergeon and he did her breast job. Godaddy.com
