Ohio State Greeks help after fatal fire...

[DeltAlum]

Excerpted from the Ohio State Lantern:

Danielle Goler, a junior in psychology and criminology, was Nichole's roommate and is staying at the Alpha Xi Delta sorority house, where she is a member. This living arrangement is permanent for the rest of the school year.

Goler has found a lot of support from the Greek community.

"As soon as the fire broke out, my sisters ran out to the house," Goler said. "My best friend, Elizabeth, stayed up with me for 36 hours."

The Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity have been very supportive, Goler said.

"I was outside and told everyone who was out there that my house was open," said Sigma Phi Epsilon house manager Kevin Grady.

The fraternity house became a center of chaos, as it opened its doors for the Red Cross to set up headquarters and allowed police investigators and firemen to use the house as well.

"They basically took over the house," said Sigma Phi Epsilon President Jeremy Carrier.

Throughout the tragedy, Goler found solace. "It felt good that so many people offered help," she said. "We really came together like a community."


Well done, brother and sister Greeks.
