Although not Risk Management related, this quote from the Student Newspaper really caught my attention in these times when the Fraternity System is under fire from many directions:
"We've seen an outpouring of donations from strangers and friends alike. We've seen prayers from around the nation. And while they're both the most revered and criticized sect of Ole Miss, the greek community has again proven its worth in a time of tragedy. Every black ribbon around a greek house's column speaks for the hundreds of men or women who treat this loss as personal.
Every blue and gold ribbon tells Alpha Tau Omega that despite the everyday divisions on this campus right now the Delta Psi chapter of Alpha Tau Omega is thousands of people strong. In this case, it's important to remember that fall is also the time when brothers are made. The three men who lost their lives Friday morning were known first as brothers of a common cause. The history of ATO says that the fraternity was founded not in imitation or reaction to any other fraternal order. It came from Christian principles, and now the mothers, fathers, siblings and friends of those who perished need exactly that. ATO is reaping what it's sown since 1865: an idealistic attempt to foster a Christian community. We should all take notice."
