Sad News: Passing of a UF (FL) Delta Delta Delta Member

My sincere condelences to her family & sisters.

I was also turned off by the tone of the article's author.

This has been really sad for the entire Greek community at UF. Many of my sisters were close with Molly, and I have heard nothing but wonderful things about the type of young woman she was. It really is such a tragedy, and I can't imagine how hard this is for the Ammon family and the women in Tri Delta.

Sadly, that article is by far not the worst thing I've read regarding this unfortunate situation. It's really upsetting to me that such an awful tragedy is taken as an opportunity for people to pass judgment on the Greek system or to turn it into a public service announcement on the dangers of drinking. It's just inappropriate and unnecessary.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends and sisters of Molly.

I completely disagree with the comments about not making this a "teachable moment." Molly's death is a senseless tragedy. Why not educate others so that they don't make the same mistake? I especially like this article that includes a message from Molly's family that they hope other's learn from Molly's death.

I agree, especially if it's the family leading the charge. If the family doesn't turn this into something that can benefit another person, they will feel their daughter's death will have no impact for someone else's life, and that would likely be devastating to them. They are trying to come to grips over a senseless tragedy, without anger or accusation. I commend them for it.
