Our director of chapter services would have been the person to go to in this situation. That she had correct. What I do not understand is why she did not go first to her chapter adviser (when she claimed she was not being heard out by the process of Honor Council), then to her regional consultant/regional support team, bypassing that potentially if the allegations were serious to the Assistant Director of Chapter Services and later the Director of Chapter Services (which her MOM did eventually get to, but bypassed many layers of support to do so).

I just don't get it. If the allegations were serious, she should have gone directly to her adviser when they began. I also see no notice of her going to the Greek life staff if she really was being abused/hazed. Finally, why have mommy go to the appropriate person months after the fact? There is something missing here, for sure. From reading it, the allegations she was charged with in Honor Council were all legitimate, although they are broad ranging in nature and I don't know if they were founded. I also know that a woman is always allowed to speak for herself during HC proceedings. If that did not occur than she should have gone to the adviser immediately, IMO. Well actually she should have filed for an appeal, which I'm almost 100% positive the adviser attends. I know they attend for level 3 and 4 meetings as well, for sure.


This whole situation puzzles me. I have no idea of the legal case she has. If she really was harassed I don't understand why she stayed. If she wasn't, it doesn't sound like her case would hold up. I can't tell too much detail from the articles and I don't want to prejudge either this woman or any of the other sisters that are involved, but this is just unfortunate all around. Like others have said, it sounds like a bad fit from the get go and just a lot of unpleasantness ever since. I'll reserve other comments until after the trial, if it gets that far. But again, I really hope this is resolved quickly.
