Phi Mu resigned membership over 'nipple' swimsuit top

[APhiLife]

My personal take is that the top is in bad taste- but I don't think that posting a picture of it on a personal site should have affected her membership status.

I agree. It should have been handled more delicately and not so black and white. However, IIRC Belmont is a Christian university so it doesn't surprise me that her chapter may have had an issue with it.

I think it's funny that the photo in the linked article blurred out her chest even though her actual boobs are completely covered. They blurred out a flesh-colored bikini top with a printed picture of nipples.

I agree that the nip-top is super-tacky and I wouldn't have forced her to resign over it. But I also think this is the type of thing that should be decided at the local level, with an appellate process that goes to a higher level. The local exec board knows their campus culture much better than outsiders.
