Death of DG member at University of Washington
It is a sad day for Panhellenic in Seattle. A body of a 20 year old girl was found in the stairwell of a fraternity. She was a member of Delta Gamma. At this time they believe it was a suicide. So very sad for her family, her sisters and all the sororities at UW. My daughter said it is very somber up there right now. Send prayers...

I just realized I posted this in the recruitment thread... Sorry, if anyone knows how to move it to the general thread, that would be great.

Her brother is also an active Brother of UW's chapter of Chi Psi. Prayers go out to the entire UW Greek community.

Right now there is very limited information available to the public.
She seemed to have a bright spirit and love for life. Here is a clip of her singing

How terribly sad and tragic.
I don't want to cause a tangent, but when I say that nobody knows how another person is truly feeling, this is what I mean. Heaven knows what made this beautiful young woman think that suicide was the only answer.

The UW community is indeed very saddened by the loss of this young woman's life.
It doesn't add a whole lot more information, but here is a link to an article in The Daily, the student newspaper:

It is truly tragic indeed! I wonder why she chose the fraternity house to take her own life in .

Found in the stairwell of a fraternity? I don't know about ya'll, but that raises a lot of questions in my mind. My prayers go out for the family, and sorority of this girl.

no frat involvement
The girl's body was found OUTSIDE the fraternity, and the stairwell was just 3 steps going down to an unused door at the edge of their parking lot. The medical examiner has ruled it a suicide, and the cause of death as "asphyxiation due to hanging". There was a part of a rope observed hanging off the fire escape. The is very tragic for the fraternity and the entire greek community at UW.

I'm not doubting the theory that she possibly committed suicide and am happy to give the fraternity the benefit of the doubt that none of their members were involved.
My question is why the fraternity house? I would think if one wanted to kill themself (and I'm not making light of suicide at all) there are many other places on or off a college campus that could be chosen. I am wondering if she was perhaps in a relationship with someone in Phi Delt, got her heart broken, and thought this was a way to make someone feel bad. I dont know if that is the case, I'm just wondering.

I know you all have a right to discuss this but I'd like to respectfully request that you refrain from speculation while we deal with this sad event and help our Beta Chapter cope with the tragic loss of a sister.
