It saddens me so to read this. Back in the day, there was one and sometimes two GLOs that were about a third smaller than the other sorority chapters on my campus. But they didn't let that get in their way, and the campus atmosphere was such that they weren't disparaged by the other GLOs. They had a wonderful sisterhood, which is what some PNMs value above all else. Why can't people let these chapters be who they are and value what they are? It seems to me that there should be room and a group for everyone.


I have to wonder if the Panhellenics at both Clemson and Ole Miss took any proactive measures to stop the kind of toxicity directed at one group at both of these schools.

NPC actually came to Ole Miss about 4 years ago to address the vicious behavior in the Greek system with all of the chapters. It clearly didn't help much.

It was not just Greek Rank and it was not just the sororities. Many of the fraternities were horrifically mean to the Ole Miss Thetas. I am appalled that they were allowed to get away with their cruelty. To my knowledge, nothing was done by the University specifically regarding those incidents. The school administrators have sort of shrugged and say they can't do anything to make the students be nicer to each other.

Finally about 2 years ago, Sigma Chi went too far in making sexual comments during the annual Derby Days Queen competition. Derby Days is no longer permitted at Ole Miss as a result.
