The tragedy has brought the whole GC community, especially the Greeks,
together like never before.
LXA had its annual 5K race to raise money for charity...things were messier
than usual. The KAs and PiKAs (and maybe some others) came over and
cleaned up the yard.
Monday nights are meeting nights for fraternities and sororities. After the meeting,
the LXAs came out to find ladies of SK, KD, and others, including independents,
placing luminaries (paper bag, sand, lit candle) around the house. A crowd gathered
and they spontaneously sang "Amazing Grace". Today there was a chapel
service where the H.A. delivered a memorial....the chapel was full.
Funeral services are scheduled for Friday in Frankfort, KY. The chapter is making plans for
a memorial service on campus as well. Its believed this was the first ever
suicide at GC, and definitely the first death inside the LXA house, so
everyone's still in shock. (GC has about 1,200 students, so its fairly "tight knit")
Thanks to all who keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
P.S. Re: Tom
He associated in January and was initiated in early March...I was there for his
initiation. He didn't live in the house yet, though (no vacancy until next semester).
