Sigma Sigma Sigma Closes Missouri State U. Chapter

[SWTXBelle]

Beautiful house. It's a shame some of the members who are quoted are defensive, instead of realizing exactly what their actions have cost them, MSU, and Tri Sigma. I hope actives of all GLOs are paying attention - what seems like minor fun to you might have severe consequences.

Are all the houses there built like that? (Obviously this question is for someone familiar with the school.) Everytime I've seen pics of our house(s) there, they look more like a big family house than the traditional type house like SSS has.

It's probably more stupidity than a lack of love for Tri Sig. These women probably won't even admit to themselves that they were wrong, whether they are too stupid, too embarrassed or to arrogant to see what they did was wrong. It is a shame when an entire group gets to be judged by the actions of a few. Hopefully this will teach other women who have thought of trying the same things that it's not in the best interest of themselves or their organizations to even atttempt to get away with it! I'm sure TriSig will be back stronger than ever when their suspension is over.

That's the saddest part to me. They took a class of 63 women this fall, and because of this, these girls won't get to experience life as a collegiate sister of Tri Sigma. Then there are the girls who lived there who may not have participated in or facilitated the hazing that don't have anywhere to live now.This statement stands out to me:

"It wasn't like they had to jump off a cliff," she said. "It was all in good fun."

Maybe she doesn't know this, but EVERY HAZING INCIDENT starts as "in good fun" until something happens. HQ's standpoint is "What if something had happened to one of those girls during any of that stuff? Then everyone would be in REAL trouble then." I am glad that Sigma takes hazing as seriously as it does, it makes us better in the end.

KSUViolet-

I understand that all of the girls are put on alumni status. I was wondering this scenerio: Tri Sigma has 7 other chapters in Missouri. If one of the sisters decided to transfer to Central MO or Southeast MO next year, could she become an active sister again?

(And before anyone jumps one this, I know that you go to college to get a degree, not join a sorority. I am not suggesting that any of the Beta Beta chapter members do this, it was just a thought that popped into my IFC brain last night.)

Yes they could, providing that they were in good standing with Beta Beta (which they would be if granted alumna status).

But if they were on Alum status, could they then go back to active status? Esapecially under the circumstances?

Funny you should ask...Some of the houses look nothing like that, and some of them are off the main row and renting old residential buildings. But all the sorority houses there are really nice.
