It did for me as well. The Alpha Gams are immediately next door to the Delts in Athens. Both the Ohio University and Ohio State campuses were profoundly affected -- and to the best of my knowledge, the alleged arsonist has never been caught.
There is also word of a fire at the SAE house at Kent State, but thankfully nobody hurt at that one.
Bad week for SAE.
Again, condolences to everyone involved.

The SAEs involved were from our South Carolina Delta Chapter. News stories are available here and here. Please keep the victims of this tragedy in your thoughts and prayers.

So very, very sad. My heart is broken for the families and friends of the victims. May God comfort and guide them in their grief.

They are saying now they believe the fire started on the outside deck  . Terrible. The news conferences have been on all day on our local SC station.

The sadness of it is so hard.
The greek world and others weeps with SAE, DDD and DZ...and long with their families and intimates.
I am so sorry to all.

The campuses are receiving a huge outpouring of support and Ohio was thanked during the news conference. Many moons ago, I was a little sister for SAE at USC.....A group of us have sent food to the houses.....The gamecock painted in front of the Russell House has been designated as the receiving place for condolences. The young lady DZ from Clemson was a sophomore....

I'm pleased to hear that Ohio could help, but sorry for the reason the support was necessary.
IHeartUGA, thanks for the update and the link.
AGDee, it's nice to know that people still remember, but it's too bad when a situation like this to brings the memories back.

On behalf of the entire Greek system at East Carolina University, I offer our deepest sympathies to the families (biological and Greek) who have lost loved ones.
They will continue to be in our thoughts an prayers.

My college suitemate's daughter survived, but has been readmitted to the hospital. Sadly, her mother died from a brain tumor about 10 years ago. They owned the house. It just breaks my heart how much they have had to endure and now this. Such a horrible accident. I ask you to keep them in your continued prayers.

Here is a list of the victims with a profile for each (from The State newspaper):
http://thestate.com/news/story/215033.html
Four of the survivors were also listed in the paper, but I didn't see a link online. The owner's daughter was one and the brother of one of the victims was another. The other 2 listed were a Tri Delta and the young man who jumped from the 3rd floor into the canal below.

So all in all, it looks like three SAEs, three Tri-Delts and one DZ were lost in the fire.
So very heartbreaking for the Greek community, USC, Clemson, family, friends... continued prayers to all.
