Well said, honeychile. Unfortunately, some of those who commit suicide feel that it would be "better that way" for everyone-it is usually the opposite. The grief and guilt of the loved ones left behind can be nigh onto unbearable. How my heart goes out to those who love her.

I am friends with her cousin, and my intern at work is a member of the chapter. This is a complete shock to everyone that knew Carly, who by all accounts was an incredibly positive person with a lot of passion for music and life in general. I'm thinking of and praying for her friends and family who will surely try to make sense of this, but probably never will.

Very sad.

Oh God...this is just terrible and sad. My prayers to Carly's family, sisters, and friends...

This is very sad to hear this happen to a lovely young woman. My prayers are with her family and the sisters of Delta Gamma.

Of the thousands of words in my vocabulary, there are none that truly fit at this time. I can only express my deepest sorrow for this loss to this young woman's family, friends, sisters, and to extend compassion to all who are suffering. Deep peace...

You are correct and I apologize. I overstepped my boundaries at an inappropriate time. I am truly very sorry for your loss.

I can't even express...wow.
My heart breaks for this young woman's family, friends, and sorority sisters. I pray that they help each other to heal and eventually celebrate a beautiful life.

Thursday afternoon, Carly’s family released the following statement:
