ZTA under investigation at Georgia State

[AZTheta]

*Steaming, begin rant:*

Any time that someone publishes an "allegations" post, my blood BOILS.

It's being investigated. Will you come back here and post the findings when the investigation is complete?

What sticks in peoples' brains is the initial story, and unfortunately, all too often that story proves to be incorrect or totally false.

There isn't a chapter out there on any campus who couldn't be "accused" of something, and frankly, it irritates me that we pay any attention whatsoever to "allegations."

I posted today about a fraternity on my campus being closed; the fraternity had been investigated internally as well as by the Dean of Students and Office of Greek Life. That was verified and the fraternity had been "shuttered" prior to my ever posting a word. I didn't post anything about "allegations" because WHAT IF THEY HAD BEEN DISPROVEN? I would have smeared the fraternity's name erroneously.

Please, people, please: think before you post an "allegations" charge.

*still steaming, end of RANT*

I posted the link and yes I will follow the story. If the allegations turn out to be false I would gladdly post the article. I posted this because it is the first time I have heard of a member in a position of power go to the Dean of Students and not their national board. If the member were in a position of power shouldn't she have known to go to the her nationals. Hopefully it turns to be false.

What? Your justification doesn't make sense. The letter is anonymous. How is it that you know a memeber in a position of power wrote it? I'm pretty sure anyone can send an anonymous letter to the Dean of Students. I could make up an anonymous letter and send it to the Dean of Students.

In the letter towards the end she states she has a position within the chapter.

"At this time I cannot give my name for fear of what some of the sisters might do to me if they found out that I was the one who reported them. I am also a leader within Zeta and my hopes are that I will be able to make a difference, and if my sisters feel betrayed then I do not think they will support me or even talk to me for that matter"

Again, anyone could have written that to the GSU Dean of Students. Just because it says so in an anonymous letter, doesn't make it true.
