Anyway - a story run in the school newspaper will usually mention the affiliation of the students if its known.

Yeah, if a student is affliated with any group and gets arrested its going to be a headline. The DTH also had a headline about the swim team getting busted for having a party. I'm shocked at how anti-greek the DTH is with as many Greeks as they have on staff.

In respect to this article, since the writer is Greek she would have been screwed either way. Had she left out the affliations then she would have been blasted. Putting the affliations in however makes people think this is some large vendetta.

Some more info. Not too much depth but it appears that the papers want to play it for all they are worth.

These girls were just being super rad.

Let them go, they're cute.

As much as I hate to say this - when you break the law pretty much anything can and will come out. It just has all become fair game like it or not.

These young ladies should have thought about things a bit more.

I don't really think it matters if the writer is a Tri Delta or not. Facts are that these members are part of this organization and whether I think it should be written or not does not matter. They are facts and it becomes fair game these days.

Must be kind of a slow news day.

Far more interesting is this article
