Delta Zeta Reportedly Sues DePauw

[FuzzieAlum]

Oh man. Saw this news on another site and had to come over here to see what everyone was saying.

I don't see how this can possibly help DZ IHQ, and it's the members (their own - and all of the other NPC's too, because you know most people don't know DZ from any other sorority) who are going to suffer.

What's the chances of the case being a) thrown out or b) settled out of court? DePauw may not want to fight, but they hold what looks to most people like the high moral ground here, so they might be willing to stick it out.

While it is a PR disaster, from a legal perspective, it might not be. Until we know exactly what is in the suit - and what relevant Indiana law is - there's no way to know whether or not the suit will succeed. And hey - it even depends on the judge. A good lawyer knows the law - a great lawyer knows the judge. No telling how this will play out - JMHO.

Its stories like this that make me realize my decision not to join a NPC was a good one.

Whatever happened to sisterhood?

Wow, if that's not a blanket statement, then I don't know what is. Of course, I could turn around and make a comment about YOUR organization and your how many chapters -- but that wouldn't be fair, would it?

It's unfair to slap the "no sisterhood" label on DZ (and the 25 other NPC sororities) based on the actions of a few women at HQ.

So until you can prove that there's no sisterhood in our NPC sororities, I'd keep comments like that to yourself, THX.

My bad...I didn't mean to offend you. Its just from MY personal experience with NPC's going through formal rush my freshman year, that was the impression I got, but you're right I shouldn't make a blanket statement like that, I'm sure not ALL chapters of NPCs operate like this, and I'm sure you have sisterhood amongst eachother, the sisterhood comment was not directed at all NPCs, just at the Depauw situation.
