What can a chapter do if you have a girl like the Real World's Trishelle?

AXOLiz-- Very good point!

The real question, was how would your chapter deal with a girl that behaved in the same manner as Trishelle did?

There are a lot of factors that go into any personnel matter and to speculate on the net wouldn't do any good, cuz you only have the single perception presented here and not the whole picture.

Thus, my answer to this question would be that nothing would be done without careful deliberation of all the facts and issues involved. And, since these aren't available, the question, since it involves a real person in a real chapter, is inappropriate at best.

I hate to bring up an old thread like this, but after aksing about Ace from the real world, I was curious is anyone ever talked about Trishelle.

She was a Chi Omega at my school, and we have a smaller Greek System (I mean we all live in the same building for heck's sackes). When the show was airing, none of the Chi Omegas talked about - I just don't think it was that big of deal to them. I really have no clue why she isn't a Chi Omega anymore - and that shouldn't be my curiosity anyways - it is between her and her chapter.

I know for the most part, GC members are usually the ones who are gung-ho about their Greek Org and are likely the ones to be dressing their kids in their mascot. Other people, just join a sorority to be in a sorority. When they get out in the "Real World" so to speak, they realize there is a lot more out there. Sure we all have greek letters, but we are people first.

I think it is such a double standard though. When a non-greek gets mad because some greek beat up his best friend, and then they blame the entire fraternity - we all say that is bad. But when a member does something that we can gossip about - it suddenly reflects their whole sorority?

For the Chi Omegas on this board - don't fret. Chi Omega at Southern Miss is a *great* chapter. They have been one of the bests since way back when. Both my aunts were Chi O's there - but I just chose to go DG instead. To me The Chi O's at southern remind you of one of those really pretty blondes in a disney movie. Just wherever they go they have cute little animals following them with rays on sunshine. Hahhaa - yea I know I sound dumb, but they are honestly *good* girls and always have a smile on their face. Do I think the way that MTV edited Trishelle's actions reflect her chapter - no. And as for as we should be concerned, that should be the end of it. She was a sister of that chapter, but she was always a person with her own issues and morals. We all are.

Anyways, sorry for bringing this back up. I just feel bad for the girl.

feel badly for trishelle. the real world is not a new commodity. she knew the potential when she walked in the door and from the looks of things thoroughly enjoyed herself.

Surprisingly, she's been acting really good on the Gauntlet. Could be because she took a nasty spill off her mountain bike. I'm hoping that maybe watching the Las Vegas episoes opened her eyes to how people view her. Then again, I did hear she posed for Playboy.
