This just came up on my news feed. It gets worse. The girls who were hit were being followed by other cars with Sisters (16 girls were headed to the airport) and some witnessed this horrific accident. Completely heartbreaking.

So tragic. My heart aches for my sisters, their families, and their university. Xi love and mine go out to Beta Mu.

This was all over my newsfeed this AM as one of the victims is from a town not even 20 min from me. So sad.

I don't live anywhere near where accident is, but people I know who are from there say that people accidentally drive the wrong way on that stretch all the time. I don't know how true that is, though.

How absolutely crushing for their loved ones, their sorority, and the BG community. My prayers go out to all affected by this tragedy. Even though BGSU has 16-17000? students, the town is a typical small midwestern college town, as pretty much everyone is associated with the university.

This was so sad. I first heard about it yesterday. The first car of chapter memebersto pass the woman swerved as not to hit her. Unfortunately, the second car carrying the other members was not so lucky.

And these girls did NOTHING wrong. I feel so badly for those sisters who had to watch this. Thankfully Alpha Xi Delta FHQ and the university stepped in right away because there is going to have to be some serious and lengthy counseling to keep these girls together, and still in school. This has been coming to my mind all day, and I didn't know any of the girls, didn't go to BGSU and don't know the stretch of road at all. Words can't begin to describe what a senseless loss this is for so many people.

"...A clear vision of life, that with gracious and kindly hearts we may share both joy and sorrow, and bring into living reality the sisterhood of women...These things, O Lord, help us to instill within our hearts, that we may grow in courage, graciousness, and peace." - Symphony of Alpha Xi Delta

These women are emboding our symphony and I hope that they can find comfort in these words and in Alpha Xi Delta.
