Isn't Melody Twilley the girl who rushed last year and claimed she was cut for racial reasons? That name is REALLY familiar.

So after I read your post and remembered why I recognized her name, I reread the article and noticed that it said she's a senior in the college of arts and sciences. Not to start a huge debate, but I remember reading the articles around when she was cut, and they all focused on race as the main issue. I could be wrong, but I don't remember any of them giving her class standing, all they said was she had great grades, was financially well-off, but was denied a bid due to her race. Is anyone else wondering if the real reason she didn't get a bid is that she was probably a junior or senior when she rushed? I'm guessing Bama doesn't have many spots in their quotas for upperclassmen, but I could be wrong.
I'm glad there's interest for a multicultural sorority there though, and it's always good to see someone turning a negative rush experience into something positive.
