A person's political views wouldn't be grounds for expulsion.

I never heard of her before but it sounds like she had a stellar record at Rhodes.

Quoting that article in the first post: "“It is an honor for a graduate of Rhodes to be considered as a possible nominee for the nation’s highest court,” says President Marjorie Hass. “Judge Barrett excelled as an English major on campus, just as she has in her professional and academic law career.”

Barrett, originally from Metairie, LA, graduated from Rhodes magna cum laude with a B.A. in English. As a student, she was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa, Omicron Delta Kappa, Mortar Board, and Sigma Tau Delta English Honor Society. She was a member of Kappa Delta Sorority, participated in Model United Nations, and was elected to serve on the Honor Council. Barrett was also chosen to be inducted into the Rhodes Student Hall of Fame.

After graduating from Rhodes, Barrett attended law school at the University of Notre Dame, where she graduated first in her class in 1997."

***One thing about the Supreme Court, though: political parties have been hugely surprised through the years about how certain justices have voted on certain issues. You can never know for sure.***

That’s not what they are saying - they are saying she doesn’t meet the Rhodes values of “truth, loyalty and service.” Being untruthful, disloyal and shirking your obligation to serve seem like things that would pave the way for termination from your GLO.

Alumnae who knew her personally saying “Amy is my chapter sister and we lived in the house together for two years but she’s terrible” just makes them sound shallow or backstabby. It’s one thing for that to come from a classmate, it’s another to come from a sorority sister.
