Five Towson Sororities on Probation (Alcohol)

instead of focusing their energy trying to make their own chapter better and focus on how to recruit better, they choose to do this. oh well.

hmmm... i wonder why no one wants to join their sorority...

I think it's insane that this clearly went on for many years and the adminstration knew, but didn't stop it. On the other hand, it's a stupid thing to do and everyone involved should be glad that someone didn't get seriously hurt or worse because of the behavior. It would be nice to see the girls (or if it's a chapterwide problem, chapters) stepping up and taking responsibility for the stupidity of their actions instead of blaming another chapter for turning them in and blaming it on jealously regarding recruitment results. Since drinking at Bid Day festivities violates NPC agreements, we know that having any alcohol at Bid Day is in violation of policy and something SHOULD have been done.

I couldn't agree more.

The bottom line is, people where KNOWINGLY breaking the rules. They didn't expect to get busted, but they finally did.

Now they are all pissy because they were busted and are crying about the leanest sentence ever. They could have been on probation ALL ACADEMIC YEAR, but they essentially got four months.

So what? They can schedule their formals and mixers for the year around it.

I hope the chapter leadership, advisors included, will step up to the plate so that their own sistes don't embarrass them again next year.

Aw, someone got busted? Perhaps if you weren't breaking the rules whether you were of the "targetted" chapter or just one who was idiotic enough to post drunken pictures on facebook, you wouldn't have gotten caught.


Seriously, this is a bit like "Well I speed by there all the time and I've never gotten a ticket, so the cop shouldn't get to pull me over THIS time." Just because no one busted you before doesn't mean you didn't deserve it, nor does it mean that you should get some sort of pass.

Focus on hating on the people who "got you caught" because that clearly addresses the problem
