What she said ^^^, and I'd suggest going up the ladder ASAP if not sooner.

Definitely ask for the paperwork - I've never heard of an org assigning a dog-in-training to a college student period, let alone one living in a sorority house. They need to be in a very "regular" environment and a sorority house is most definitely not that.

I think there's enough red flags here to point to getting that dog (and potentially that sister) the heck out of there ASAP.
If I were a member living in that house, I would be f'in terrified of that pit bull. (Yes, I know that there are those of you who say that they're perfectly safe when trained well, but this one is very young and we have no idea if this girl knows WTF she is doing).

Thanks everyone! I've taken all of this to our board and I think we have a plan in motion. Ugh...I'll let you know what happens!

Go to the DG website, sign into myDG and look for the full list of policies topic. Click on it and scroll down to "housing/Pets" and you'll see: There shall be no pets in Delta Gamma housing."

Yeah, I don't know why our house corps didn't just get in touch with our headquarters as soon as this became an issue...It's finally there and we're awaiting the final verdict. The dog--and the sister--are currently not living in the house.

I just want to wish you luck in dealing with this, BlueCarnation. It sounds like a real headache.

Same! I think it's really tragic when people are completely thoughtless and careless about getting pets. This girl really should have known better...

The terrible part is that most shelters won't take pit bulls.
What a thoughtless little brat.
If she ends up giving up the dog, please pass this along: http://www.pbrc.net
