Chico State U (Again!): Sigma Kappa Suspends Chapter (Alcohol)

[ChicoAGD]

In response to Peppy* in Gamma Phi Beta,
Chico State was labeled a party school I believe over 20 years ago by Playboy, however, in efforts to clean up the school's image, President Zing, along with STUDENTS, police, city officials, and the community, has made GREAT efforts to put an end to this detrimental behavior. Pioneer Days were cancelled years ago, Cannonball Run has been cancelled with the threat of participating chapters being pulled. We have been first place in raising money for Up Till Dawn for Saint Jude's Hospital for several years, we raised over $4000 in two days for those in our community that lost homes, property, and memories in the terrible Butte fires this summer. YES, we are a college, YES there are those who party, but can you imagine how many college students have gotten alcohol poisoning across the nation this past weekend alone? Who are you to take a terrible incident such as this and apply it to ALL of Chico State? We have an amazing nursing program, teaching program, one of the 5 PR programs in the state of California, a college of business with a very high level of accreditation, and much much more. Many of our students came to our school SPECIFICALLY for academic reasons. Do all of our students drink? Should they ALL be labeled raging alcoholics? Should ALL of our Greek System or ALL of Sigma Kappa be labeled because ONE girl?

I apologize for any grammatical errors that may further support your negative perception of Chico State, however your close minded generalizations have upset me.
