Tri Delta chapter at Miami suspended

[srmom]

"Select members of our chapter who took part in the activities on Thursday, Jan. 29 did not participate with any ill intent and truly wanted only for members to feel welcomed and special," Shannon said.

Clark said Tri Delta's executive board laments the current situation and the subsequent punishment. Clark said the decision was increasingly more difficult considering the Tri Delta chapter has avoided any serious issues throughout the near century it has existed on Miami's campus.

What in the world did they do?

It seems crazy that a group of women did "something" to make the pledges feel "welcomed and special" and it was sooooo bad that after a "near century" of avoiding any serious issues, they got the BOOT???

What the heck?

VERY interesting commentary at the bottom. It is sad that they're just two years short of celebrating their centennial It obviously won't be the same in two years when they're allowed back. The comments suggest that the chapter is the biggest contributing chapter to St. Jude. I do agree that the punishment is really harsh. It will be so difficult to recover from a two year suspension- imagine recruitment in 2011.... It think that both the school and EO were trying to make an example out of the chapter.

A few details, with source(s) identified, are in a report on a site affiliated with the Cincinnati Enquirer:

The report ^ specifies:

"the university’s formal charges against the sorority"

and

"documents from Miami’s Office of Ethics and Student Conflict Resolution show that the university received two reports on the incident within days"

I'm thinking that it wasn't a scavenger hunt.
