University Cheerleader With Down Syndrome Denied From Every Sorority on Campus

[Sen's Revenge]

I dug a little to find out the details of the MasonLIFE program. For anyone who is interested:

"Students completing their four years with The Mason LIFE Program will graduate with a George Mason Certificate of Completion with a catalog concentration and a work specialty area."

It sounds to ME, that she was eligible to rush because she's a GMU student. It doesn't sound like she'd be eligible for most (if not any) chapter because she's not matriculated as a degree-seeking student.

Now that I know this, I honestly find it repugnant that the sister (and others) has branded this as disability discrimination.

This. I worked with a similar program in Graduate School. Many students enrolled in these transitional type programs for students with disabilities are considered guest students by their respective universities.
