DePauw: Housing Found for Students Displaced by Sorority Membership Review
DePauw was able to arrange housing for the women who needed to move due to a sorority's membership review. See the news release with the headline beginning "President Bottoms' to the campus community regarding . . . ":

Would be great if they put on their site words that do not need a magnifing glass to read!:eek:
At least, it seems that they are working together and work things out. While many schools look down their noses at Greeks, we do try to build houses for our members as again, the cost of housing goes up and there is a lack of it. They seem to want to let the apartment owners make more money. |
Tom,
Hold down on your ctrl key (lower right and left corners of keyboard), then while holding that down, scroll up and down with your mouse wheel until you don't need a magnifying glass. |

I just felt that I needed to say something regarding the situation at DePauw as I was getting tired of hearing all the DZ bashing. DZRose |

According to a New York Times article, the girls evicted included all who were overweight and the few minority members.

That Times article is pretty thorough.
I don't believe for a minute that those women didn't show dedication to recruitment. Perhaps DZ imposed standards on them that the org. felt would help with recruitment...such as losing weight, dressing better, nice hair cuts and makeup, etc. We all know that looking one's best helps chapter image, but I do feel it's unreasonable and very classless to tell your own sisters (lets remember the sorority's leadership are also sisters of the women in the DePauw chapter) "Lose weight or you're out"...if that's what was done. The sorority keeps saying these women were not committed to doing what HQ wanted in order to boost recruitment, and after reading all the stories and examples that have come out of it, it certainly seems that this is what was done. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck. I don't believe it's OK to do WHATEVER is judged as necessary in order to save a chapter. If the sorority wanted to reorganize the chapter, it should have just judged the chapter in its entirety and made them all alumnae, then recruited a whole new chapter. They wouldn't have had to close the chapter, and they would have avoided this whole mess. I feel sorry for the sisters from this chapter who will probably live with this pain and have a tainted view of their college experience for the rest of their lives. |

And I'm sorry...if an HQ chooses to reorganize a chapter, you give alumnae status to all women. You don't pick and choose based on who looks best. Quote:
I can only hope that no other organization will do this to its members. :mad: |
