Fat, Drunk and Stupid is no Way to Go Through Life, Son


The New York Times and other outlets are running a story this morning that may shock you. Some fraternal organizations on college campuses occasionally use superficial standards in deciding which members fit their image.  Last year, overweight and non-white members of Depauw University's Delta Zeta sorority chapter were asked to leave.

Interestingly, the paper did not include in this article (teased on the front page of the national print edition we get in Cleveland) the fact that DePauw ranks in the top 5 universities in the country on various measures of quality and quantity of Greek life.  That seems like pretty lazy reporting.
