Have you heard about the recent scandal involving the DePauw University chapter of Delta Zeta? That’s a national sorority, and they’ve been accused of kicking out overweight, ugly, or “socially awkward” sisters from their house on the DePauw campus. The original article appeared in the NY Times, but I read the reprinted version in the [...]
