BTW, I can't remember if this was mentioned, but I looked it up for my sister. Tri Delta's members are all accounted for

I'm really sorry to hear about that. My thoughts and prayers got out to VT, especially the Greek community, and the families and friends of those who are slain.

Mysticchik,

In response to your question, Wake Forest is doing something.

A memorial service is going to be held at FSU tomorrow night on Landis Green.

My prayers go out to all the friends and family of the victims.

There's a picture in the link of the ex-girlfriend that crazy shot first in the dorm. Looking at her pic and the pics up of crazy, she was way out of his league. Another weird link is that crazy went to the same high school with two of his victims in the engineering blg. They were freshmen while he was a senior, so he may not have known them at the time.

Wow, that kind of a comment just seems...uncalled for. By that I mean I think it's odd that your first reaction after reading about the shooter's primary target was to comment about their looks.

Article headline:

THIS is the face of the girl who may have sparked the worst school shooting in US history.

That is totally uncalled for as well. She is absolutly not to blame for any of this, and I think that's exactly what that headline implies.

It looks like someone just passed out during the convocation. I don't think I'd be able to keep myself up. This is way too sad.

I just got an email about this:

The leadership of the Associated Student Body and the Office of the Dean of Students will sponsor an observance for Virginia Tech at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 18th, in Paris-Yates Chapel. All students, faculty, staff, and members of the public are invited to attend.

We would especially like to invite students from the state of Virginia to participate in a candle lighting ceremony. If you are from Virginia, or have a connection with Virginia Tech, and wish to participate in tomorrow’s ceremony, please contact the Office of the Dean of Students.

one of my friends at UVA has a facebook icon that reads: we're all hokies today and then in the corner 'even at UVA' it was sweet but it also made me smile.

you know, i really wish some people would consider better word-choice and sensitivity over catchy headlines. no breakup or girl caused this, the only thing that is certain is this was a profoundly disturbed individual. her poor family, having to hear about things like that about their daughter.

I doubt anyone who doesn't already know will read this, but all KDPhi sisters at VTech are thankfully accounted for as well.

The media and many are so quick to point the blame. Putting the blame on the administration, police, etc.

Virginia Tech is a large school and can not be contained as if a high school or elementary school. Based on the events the police thought that the first incident was an isolated event. They could not have predicted what would have happened.

I am proud of those students who have tried to defend their school and showed their pride for their school and community.

Virginia Tech is a great community with great leaders who care very much about their school.

Hindsight is 20/20..
