If the Enquirer article I read was correct, medical attention was needed for excessive alcohol consumption. In that case, a two year suspension does not seem like an over-reaction. No one's risk management policies can afford to ignore that situation. The scenario is every advisor's nightmare.

I hope they are able to come back strong in 2011.

I hate when newspapers say that medical attention was "needed." Sure, out of concern for safety, medical attention was sought. That doesn't necessarily mean that these girls wouldn't have been fine the next day (except for a nasty hangover).

It's my worry that releasing these sorts of details and making it seem to be a factor that medical attention was sought and utilized results in many cases of individuals refusing to take someone to the emergency room where medical attention is crucial because they're afraid of the consequences of seeking medical attention.

These sorts of details need to stay between the kid getting medical attention and the facility where they receive it.

I don't know whether this was a big factor here or even a factor at all. I'm just saying that --in general--, this sort of wording troubles me.

i'm very much in line with everyone else about not spreading "rumors" that are unsubstantiated, but at the same time, nothing is MORE embarrassing to me both as a student and a sister than when clear facts, and reasoning are not both brought to light AND discussed. i can honestly say, i would be less ashamed to announce what happened at another chapter of my sorority than i would be to announce that we had hidden things from other students, administration, media, parents, etc. i am MEMBER of tri delta in a different chapter at a university that is literally 3 hours from miami, and even have 2 sisters that transferred and live in the house FROM miami, and it was news to me to see "tridelta" listed on that hazing form. the point is, we all have SO much to gain from openly discussing what happened, and how it affects ALL of us as a greek community. it is, after all, what the forum is for, as an opportunity to learn from each other. these hazing incidents should be EXPLICITELY discussed, not bashed, but discussed as it is a truly sobering (no pun intended!) thing to hear about.

I know this is a late response but...

A good friend of mine at our church was a Tri-Delt from Miami U. She is really really angry and can't believe this happened. She stated that hazing was never tolerated or even something they considered when she was a member in the early '90's. This is a very sad situation as the Alumnae are hurt as well. According to her this really screws up the 100 Anniversary Celebration she hoped to be a part of.
