Ohio University Sorority accused of property damage at formal
http://thepost.baker.ohiou.edu/main....ectionID=2&S=1
Is there something in the water in Ohio that is making these sororities go crazy at formal?
I graduated from Ohio University (ahem- a "few" years ago) and the Pi Phis that I was friends with back then would have never done anything like this!

Sounds awfully sketchy. I'll wait to see when more details come out.

I heard snippets about this on the radio this morning (I was only half paying attention) and I distinctly heard "Ohio" and "Pi Beta Phi". I thought, wow, this is an old story, we're been talking about this on GC for awhile. Nope. My mind is sufficiently boggled.

Exactly. Lack of documentation and refusal to provide any that they do have doesn't bode well for a lawsuit.

I agree totally, IrishLake. And I state this, again: it could happen to ANY sorority or fraternity. There but for the grace of god go you, or I...
panhellenically yours...

Very shady. I hope Pi Phi does not pay them a dime.

Athens, Ohio isn't a very big town, so there is only one hotel in town that can handle a sorority formal- so most sororities travel by bus to another place- and Parkersburg is the closest larger town (relatively speaking).
If these charges are trumped up, I hope the bad press doesn't make other locations in Parkersburg shy away from hosting formals.

They're obviously piggybacking this off all the other reports that have come out. I would tell them to go pound sand.

I know this may not be always feasible but wouldn't it be prudent for a Chapter to take before and after pictures of the place to protect themselves from accusations like this? Surely there would be one sober person to do a walk through.
I call BS on this. Smells to high heaven.

From now on, this would be a very good policy.

It was on the news this morning comparing the OU group to Miami. Apples and Oranges if you asked me.

It was on the morning show that I listen to in Philadelphia. The radio personalities were actually making fun of the people who wrote the latest allegations and also mentioned that it sounded like they were piggy backing the Miami Pi Phi story.
