chi o getting kicked off???

Do you honestly think this is real, lol

This is 100% true. I didn't hear about getting their charter pulled i just heard they were going to be on social probation for the rest of this semester and the next. This is coming from an acquaintance in chi o who told me this. Basically during formal some girls thought it would be a good idea to steal bottles of alcohol from behind the bar. One of the girls got super blacked and had to go to the hospital to get he stomach pumped. Before that happened though someone told on them stealing and to destroy the evidence they thought it would be a good idea to break the bottles in the bathroom. So then girls were coming in shoeless (like how many girls do at formal ) and getting really bad cuts on their feet. Some girls had to be get first aid because of that. Police enforcement got involved, chi o was banned from the premise and any future events being held there, and several girls were admitted to the hospital. Not sure what the consequences for this will be but I was told from a chi omega that they were just getting social probation.

Literally ask pretty much anyone on campus including chi omegas. They will tell you what happened at formal. I don't know if getting kicked off is entirely true but I wouldn't be surprised. This still has to go to chi o nationals and what have you but I heard they were just getting social probation. Personally I think that is too light of a punishment and hope chi o nationals holds their girls more accountable... esp since they want to claim they are the top house here.

I have a feeling all of you who are wanting this to cripple Ch O will be disappointed. They have super strong officers and advisors. It will be dealt with in the correct way with appropriate punishments for those involved. It's not going to change their leadership on campus and won't affect them much if at all during recruitment. The Ole Miss chapter never skipped a step after a similar deal.

Go on and comment while you an before the next sorority scandal moves focus to another house.

I think you forget that in a sorority you are not an individual, when you wear your letters or you are at a function for your sorority you truly are a representation for you entire sorority. That is why even if one girl messes up (in this case like dozens of girls were involved) the whole sorority is punished. This isn't going to be handled individually for just the people involved, chi omega as a whole on campus is going to see consequences as they should. Might sound unfair but that is what you signed up for. Regardless of that SO many people in chi o failed here. Girls elected and in charge to make sure their sisters are safe as well as behaving themselves could have done so much to minimize the situation. It should not have escalated to the point where a sister committed a felony assault to an officer, or a sister getting so drunk that she had to be taken to the hospital. Anyways this isnt going to be treated as an individual matter and whatever punishment they do get is going to effect them as a whole as it should. Tri delt got functions taken away for literally one girl hitting a sister on a bus leaving a function. Can you imagine what chi o will get for this disaster?

Next year when PNMS are going through, (if chi omega is allowed to participate in recruitment) what PNM is going to want to join a sorority who can have zero social functions? The the best memories of freshman year and one of the most fun aspects about being greek are the date parties, the swaps, the mega swaps. Thats how I met my best friends in my sorority as well as how I became close with the guys in fraternities. I mean sororities are literally SOCIAL organizations. Im not sure why anyone would sacrifice their greek and college experience if they could help it. Going into recruitment with out being able to offer your new members one of the biggest perks of a social organization is going to pay a toll on them whether chio wants to accept that or not.

@chi omega

I agree that the whole chapter will be punished or should be and the actions of a few are placed upon the group. I just don't think it be hugely detrimental to the chapter in the long run. I don't know of any group anywhere who has not been allowed to participate in recruitment. I don't see that happening. Social probation, yes. Most freshmen won't let social probation keep them from pledging a group they want to be part of. College is 4 years not 1. They will be able to attend fraternity parties and will meet guys in ways other than a sorority sponsored social function. I think many people are letting their hate of Chi O get in the way. Top fraternities have been on social probation and it didn't affect their recruitment. I'm trying to look at this without bias and that's how I see it.

It's happened at several schools when a sorority has messed up pretty bad instead of kicking them off they make them skip out on recruitment for a year. Happened to DG at my sisters college up north. DG was THE top house there and then something similar to this happened and they were forced to sit fall rush out but I think they were allowed to take some girls during spring. Given the situation this is a high possibility

@Yeah - Finger pointing much? You may be correct that other sororities and girls have had issues not becoming of a sorority member but the fact that you needed to spew it does not deflect the present issue with ChiO. It just makes you look like a whiner.

Whiner? Hardly.

Blast away while you can. The latest scandal will move on to another group soon.

@Yeah you seem to believe another scandal will make this go away but you spent the time to dig up scandals from years past and even threw Ole Miss in the discussion. What makes you think people will let Chi O have a pass on this?

@Well

Never said anyone would let Chi O pass on this but I don't see it hurting themes badly as many people seem to hope it will. You can't pretend a group of 320 girls did this. It was a few members who might not even be members at this point. I could see them being kicked out of the sorority. Mine would. I'm sure Greek Rank will keep it going as long as possible though. I still don't think it will hurt Chi O during recruitment. It's not changing their top GPA. In fact it might be even higher if they are on social probation. It's not changing their members who are leaders in every organization on campus including SA President and Secretary. I didn't have to "dig up" the other scandals mentioned because I remember them happening my freshman year and while my older sister was active and have many friends who are Greek at Ole Miss. My point is that while it is bad and is giving Chi O tons of bad PR right now it won't last forever or be serious enough to hurt them as a chapter. I might be proven wrong but I don't see it happening.

@Yeah I tend to agree it will not hurt recruitment overall. If they get Fall social probation then a few girls may pass on them. The social experience is a big part of the Freshman year. Their status has taken a blow and people are going to take advantage. Remember people attack ADPi almost daily on this site and they certainly need all the support they can get.
Chi o is going to have this talked about for years. If the rumors are true, felony assault on a police officer is a serious offense. One can assume the Chi O who did this has bigger problems than whether her membership has been revoked. The member who was taken to hospital, one can hope she and others learned a very valuable lesson. Very scary for her. As for the group that stole liquor and tried to cover up...no room in my world for a thief. Just tacky. Pull those memberships.

@lol I have never heard of NPC reviewing a chapter before. The national organization would make decisions based on NPC rules but I've never heard of the NPC itself making a decision on a specific chapter. Can you direct me to NPC guidelines for this. I have only found NPC Mutual Agreements online with most issues related to recruitment. I know there are NPC alcohol policies but need direction for finding them.
