Regardless how anyone may fell about this situation, as Drolefille noted in an earlier post, the above is what this is about. As such, I agree with Mr. O'Neill that this should be a concern for all GLOs. And I am quite confident that every GLO HQ is going to follow this case rather closely.

DePauw didn't decide to sever ties with DZ until after the media shitstorm that ensued. IIRC These girls were put on Alumnae status in December and DePauw didn't shut them down until 3 months later, after all the media. Although I'm sure DZ's legal team will try to spin it like this, it's pretty clear that DePauw didn't do this purely because of membership issues.
