Interesting. I have never put Jeff City in the same category as the Lou and KC. In fact, I'm not sure that those two even belong together.

ionno yo...i'm usually very skeptical when i hear reports like this. True story, we know that Z Phi B pledges, but eating garbage & sprayin something in their face??? ehhhhh, ionno bout that. hittin them...thats kinda vague. i mean, we know that pledges be in the cut and all other types of physical shit, its just to what extent is where the line is drawn...and yo, this reportin shit to nationals ONLY is bullshit...cuz if you gonna do that, you might as well halla @ the university officials also. and my other thing...was she a solo??? cuz if she wasnt, why didnt her LS's protect her, or corroborate her story? ionno yo, too many questions on this.

i love my sorors to death...but if they did in fact do this, then they do deserve to be suspended...but if not, then that chick should never be made a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.

MAD DOVE LOVE SORORS!!!
Blue Phi!!!

These allegations might not be true but that's not because they sound outlandish. I've heard of worse things happening to pledges.

You and this "we know" stuff. The line should technically be drawn before there is anything physical. So if the "we hit them but not THAT hard" line of reasoning is what you're going for, it's not gonna work.

The regional, district, and national bodies find out before the universities do like 90% of the time.

Well JC isnt as bad as the STL or KC but they have their fair share of trouble as do any large or small city. JonInKC just made it seem as the Bootheel area was bad. I grew up in Sikeston which is 30 minutes from Cape where SEMO is located. We had our lil share of mishaps but when we start getting alot o people fromthe big Cities moving there our crime rates when up more than normal.

Does it make any difference what part of a State or Country it happens?

It is stupid as Hell!

I ask, is there any GLO that has not been called on the dirty caprpet fro being STUPID?

Small or large school will not make any difference.

If they screw up, do several things:

If it is just a few members, do not hold the whole Chapter by the heels.

If it is the whole Chapter either sanction or suspend them to a later date if they are lucky to come back!

Who do they hurt?

They hurt the Local Chapter and The National for a long time!

Take action ASAP and help the situation!

Wow is all I can say...I heard of stuff like this happening on my university (well not the eating garbage piece) ...definitely the physical abuse! Sad I must say.

This whole situation is unfortunate......

This is the part that tickles me--the big Cities. But I guess it is all relative. But I hear ya about the crime rates. StL has historically had one of the highest crime rates in the US. That is why I got out of Dodge after college.
