Cousin is a member of this chapter and let me tell you, THEY ARE FEELING DAMN LUCKY TO STILL BE ON CAMPUS. When Cousin first told me of the incident last year, I laid it out as to how things could go for them. I could not believe the stupidity exercised by the power hour gang. However, if I were their age, I probably would have thought “it was a good idea at the time” too.
Rest assured that although it may appear that the university went lightly on them, Tri Delta DID NOT and they will be making amends for a while. The members were outraged when they found out about it, because these actions in NO WAY reflect what Tri Delta is about. The chapter took immediate action to deal with the ringleaders and implemented additional programming before the university and EO got involved. I thought that that showed great leadership on the part of the Executive Council. The Stanford Tri Deltas DO NOT do a horrible job of officer training. The event occurred because of a gross lapse in judgement of an assumed responsible RM. Her fate has already been handed to her and let’s just say that the outcome will affect her for the rest of her life.
Janerz222 brings up some excellent points about Stanford. As far as Greek housing is concerned, they are owned by the university and treated like dorms. There are resident assistants but no house moms per se. Members can have alcohol in their rooms and in common areas as long as they are over 21. The student dorms often throw keg parties for residents and guests. The fraternities do too but the sororities don’t. If people want to drink on this campus, they do not “need” to join a fraternity or a sorority nor are the chapters seeking out problem children.
