Interesting/scary facts of your sorority

[alphaiota]

yes, room 428! that's the story i was referring to. like i said earlier in the thread, that school/town creeps me out. i just very uncomfortable when i go there. not really sure why, but i do.
i still want an ohio u sig kap to tell the story about the ghost in their house. grandma's memory isn't so good and i don't remember the details the sisters told me at convention.

Ah, come on. Athens is one of the greatest college towns in the world! Even if it is haunted.

Actually, I used to haunt a lot of the bars myself.

you haunting bars, that's scary enough for me.

yes and no.....

we have taping of the drawers in our kitchen opening themselves and scaring our sisters.....







however, it was only one of our members hidden in the cabinet that was moving them. it was quite funny and we kept it going for a long time. the video makes it look like it really happened because we never caught ashley coming out of the cabinets on tape....

What's REALLY scary is that I go back and re-haunt a few of them each Homecoming!

my sorority house is supposedly haunted, but i''m not sure if i've really experienced it. some of my sisters and i did attept to see for sure, (as sure as you can get with my ouija board), but were scared out of our minds when a dry erase board came crashing to the floor and we took that as a sign that we should stop. i'm not sure if it's gravity that's to blame or if it's our ghost. none of the older girls would tell me any stories, and the only thing they say is that the stories are really freaky. on campus there's at least 2 other sororities that are haunted and one frat that used to be an old mental institution that performed illigal shock therapy(that's what people have told me), and it's supposely haunted, but i've never been in, given the fact that i'm scared of the building.

this is kind of a random freaky thing - the building that used to be the old mental ward for the hospital, and is now a psych research building, still has some rooms with padded walls. one of the dorms on campus is haunted by 2 girls who committed suicide as a result of a suicide pact, and there are a few buildings that are haunted by the university's first(?) president.

but the oddest attraction by far, i think, in iowa city is the black angel. there's numerous stories as to why it's black, but when ever i go out to see it, something happens and then i start to freak out. maybe it's the cemetery or the people i'm with. i don't know.

Okay, i'm a guy, so therefore i'm not in a Sorority...

However, the TKE house at Long Beach State used to be an AIDS HOSPICE in the early part of the 1900's...

I've slept in the living room on a couch a few times with the door to the back yard open on a cold night...

The only things i've seen are that back door moving slowly, and the FRIGHTENING sound of a moaning girl in the back yard...


I don't want to think of that anymore...


Apparently, Tri-Delta on our campus also has a resident ghost in their house...


GO BEACH!!!

R U serious??? Oh My GOD!!! I'd be freaking out. What a coincidence b/c I just found out yesterday that the Sigma Kappa house in LB used to be a hospice for the elderly. Our Corp board told my yesterday during our house clean-up. That might explain why some areas of the house are just very peaceful & relaxing for no apparent reason & others just creep you out. I could never figure out why I didn't like going to the back of the house but now I know. WOW!!! I hadn't heard about the Tri-Delt house before.

so wait...i'm confused...what happened to curtis? was he caught?

Curtis is in jail waiting for the trial to begin. the second murderer was the one who drove off the ravine and died (during the car chase)

trust me, all the incoming freshmen know about what happened, so there's no way of "keeping this" from them. murders have never happened on our campus before May and every paper in NC had some sort of article on it, since the first girl killed was from Raleigh and the murderer was from Charlotte (which are the two biggest cities in the state).

[SurfinDBeach]

Tri-Delt apparently has an old man in their house...

Now that's scary...

GO BEACH!!!

[SurfinDBeach]

Did I mention that these stories from North Carolina are absolutely disturbing?

Thank goodness we have a mellow campus...

The old house mom who worked for us for decades until she died(Mrs. T) haunts our house, especially the room right above her old apartment. She flicks the lights on and off, she opens and closes doors. She's also appeared in the mirrors of the room right above her old apartment and she's been known to talk to the girls in that room while they're trying to sleep!

um that's highly illegal of that paper, and i hope they're taken to court. even if the mom hadn't specified to keep her daughter's name out of it, there are still ethical and legal issues surrounding that sort of situation that should have kept that paper from printing that information.
but because she did specify to leave it out and they didn't comply, they could be accused of libel if taken to court.

You can only sue for Libel if something was untrue. It may have been wrong for the paper to include the name ethically but i'm pretty sure you can't sue unless it was false information. Technically, papers can include something such as a rape victim's name in an article as well because it's public information, however decide that morally it's not right. savvy?

If the police tell a paper not to print names, though, it is illegal for the paper to do so. I wonder if that happened in this case?

I've heard a lot about it in the news ( I live in Burlington). A girl was raped at Elon in the late 80s, but I don't remember which sorority she was in. She accused the wrong guy because he only looked like the rapist and the police arrested him. Years later they finally found the right guy, and released the other guy from jail.
