I agree, college age girls aren't always the smartest.

OXFORD, Ohio — Miami University says a sorority chapter has dropped its appeal of a two-year suspension for bad behavior at a formal held at the Underground Railroad museum in Cincinnati.

The school said Tuesday that Alpha Xi (zy) Delta is suspended until Aug. 20, 2012. Membership will be subject to review before it can be recognized again as a student organization. . . .

Statement from Zeta Nu Chapter of Alpha Xi Delta at Miami University of Ohio

After careful thought and in consultation with our Fraternity
Headquarters, the Zeta Nu Chapter of Alpha Xi Delta has decided to
withdraw its appeal of Miami University’s decision to suspend the
chapter for two years. As proud Miami University students and Alpha Xi
Deltas, we do not want to prolong the negative attention surrounding
our event, which has tarnished the good reputation of our campus and
sorority.

The Zeta Nu Chapter acknowledges and regrets the bad behavior and poor
judgment displayed by some individuals at our formal event at the
National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in March. As our National
Fraternity has noted, the shameful conduct of some attendees displayed
a lack of respect for the significance of the facility and for
themselves.

During Zeta Nu’s 30 years on the Miami campus, we have never been the
subject of University discipline or sanctions due to behavior. We
deeply regret the damage and disrespect that took place and
immediately apologized to the Freedom Center. The chapter made
compensation for the extra clean up required and volunteered our
membership for community service. The center graciously invited the
chapter for a guided tour of the facility, a tour our members look
forward to taking.

Our chapter will work with Alpha Xi Delta National Fraternity to
ensure that the suspension is a learning opportunity for all our
Sisters. Our hope and plan is that when the Zeta Nu Chapter returns in
2012, it will be with a Sisterhood dedicated to the principles held
by Alpha Xi Delta and Miami University, once again making it the
positive force Alpha Xi Delta has been for 30 years at Miami
University.

What happens when a chapter comes back after something like that? Does everyone in the Greek community accept them back with open arms or is there more tension?

I think it depends on how they were thought of before, and whether the Greek community in general thinks that the suspension was warranted.
