100 Students Arrested - which fraternity is involved?

[exlurker]

An ABC site says, among other things:

"As part of the investigation, the Drug Enforcement Agency and San Diego State University police say they infiltrated seven fraternities on campus, finding that most or all of the members were aware of the drug dealing activity in their organizations. "

The way this news is developing, I'm wondering if any sororities were also involved.

WOW...I wonder what the fallout will be for the greek system at SDSU. This is something I could see closing down the whole system.

Here's the article on the cover of MSNBC:

Dozens of college students busted in drug sting

They were 'preying on' others, San Diego State University president says

SAN DIEGO - Nearly 100 people, most of them students, were arrested in an undercover drug investigation at San Diego State University that began after a student's fatal cocaine overdose last spring, authorities said Tuesday.

Authorities seized several guns, at least $60,000 in cash, marijuana, psychedelic mushrooms, hash oil, methamphetamine and illicit prescription drugs, authorities said.

Two kilograms of cocaine and 350 ecstasy pills also were seized, officials said, who added that several more people were being sought.

"These people were preying on our students," SDSU President Stephen Weber said at a press conference.

Eighteen students were arrested Tuesday when nine search warrants were executed at various locations, including seven fraternities, said Jesse Rodriguez, San Diego County assistant district attorney.

At one fraternity, prosecutors alleged, all members were involved in drug dealing.

About 75 students faced charges.

OK, I'm confused. Who does the president think was "preying" on the students - the undercover guys or the people who were selling? Because if it's the latter, man, that damn Sephora needs to stop preying on me.

He was talking about the drug dealers. Students being a "young and vulnerable" target market, that is.

I must have missed when they started admitting 5 year olds to SDSU.

Ummm seriously...I honestly don't think students are going to buy from skeevy people they don't know from a hole in the ground. There's usually a student connection.

But the dealers have suppliers that probably recognize college students as a hot market, that's all I'm saying. They're good salesmen. And anyway, you think students can't prey on their fellow students?

I don't think anyone who is selling to college students is selling to anyone who doesn't want drugs to begin with. "Prey on" makes it sound like they arrived at the school the picture of innocence and had to be talked into it by the Big Bad Dealers. Call me cynical but I really really don't think that's the case.

I also wonder how many GLOs were involved as it intimated that more than just TX and PhiChiPsi!

I also wondered how this will effect the whole Greek Community and hope they are not all kicked off.

These were not Locals, but National Greeks.

I was just paying my way through school isnt going to get it!

WHAT?!?!

THETA CHI?!?!

When I was at SDSU a few years ago Theta Chi was the sweet, slightly nerdy fraternity. I NEVER would have thought they would be the ones arrested... there are several other fraternities that would have come to mind first.

Also I would like to say HA, I TOLD YOU GUYS SDSU IS FULL OF COKE! When I said that a huge percentage of the greek system did drugs, everyone jumped on me and said I was overgeneralizing. Not quite. It really makes me sad.

Way to show pride in your university. I bet you're proud of that degree

Not saying that SDSU is abnormal, just saying that most people aren't so proud of being right about something like this. And it doesn't exactly increase the value or prestige of your diploma.

I'm not proud of it. In fact, I think its disgusting and the university turns a blind eye to it... people should be more aware of what a huge problem it is at SDSU.

OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

People got on your ass because YOU WERE POSTING RUMORS AND IDENTIFYING THE VICTIM BEFORE OFFICIAL REPORTS WERE EVEN ISSUED!
