Another Phi Mu (Delta Tau Chapter) Tragedy @ Western Kentucky

Unfortunately, a Phi Mu sister passed away over the weekend from Western Kentucky. Sally Schiller was a freshman Phi Mu @ WKU and had a car accident on I-65 while driving home to Nashville (Franklin, TN) on Friday night.

I have known Sally since she was about 5 years old... she went to my grade school, then to the same high school, and then this year pledged Phi Mu (and I couldn't have been more excited!). She was an absolutely amazing young woman and will be greatly missed by all of those who knew her, and she was definitely taken too soon.

This is the 2nd tradedy for the ladies of Delta Tau, as they lost 3 members in another car accident about 3 or 4 years ago. Just keep Sally's family in your thoughts and prayers, as well as the WKU greek community...

sigh....

chapter address anyone?

I remember the car accident about 3 years ago on the way to Leadership Conference. That was an awful time for Phi Mu.

Here is a link to the story just published in the WKU newspaper. It's all very very sad.

Her parents did make the decision to donate all of her organs, as it was a head injury which caused her(most likely) to pass. It is comforting, in some ways, to know that a little piece of her will live on through others...

I am very sorry to hear this! I'm sure she was a wonderful young woman.

That stretch is very bad.

Hubby and I witnessed a fatal accident a couple of years ago where a U-haul van hit another vehicle and burst into flames.

my thoughts go out to all my sisters at the Delta Tau chapter and the family of the young lady that passed away. I heard about this last night from some of my local sisters who know many girls from that chapter, indeed it is very tragic.
