Ohmigod Again, You Guys

There's a new and satisfying coda to our story of the sorority that kicked out all of its minority and overweight members: they've been permanently kicked off the DePauw University campus.

"'We at DePauw do not like the way our students were treated,' DePauw’s president, Robert G. Bottoms, said in a letter to the Delta Zeta sorority. In addition to [an] apology, the sorority posted statements critical of the women forced out of the DePauw chapter and of faculty members who supported them… Dr. Bottoms cited the sorority’s decision to publicize that criticism as contributing to his decision."

Thanks to Kaylin for the tip!

Yeah, I thought it was more than just a coincidence that the 23 girls kicked out just so happened to include all the overweight girls and three of the four minorities. The national sorority can claim lack of commitment till they bust; I'm not buying it.

I'm glad those girls got what they deserved.

I go to IU Bloomington, the university that sent the "plastic blonde girls" over to show off to the freshmen:
