Revenge of the nerds

If you're a snooty, image-conscious sorority, with a chapter filled with smart, but not especially cute members, don't kick those brainy sisters out of the house.  This is what Delta Zeta tried to do at DePauw University, and now the sorority has been kicked off the campus.  It's a fitting end to an ugly incident.

Here's some of the coverage of the story:

Depauw Cuts Ties With Controversial Sorority -- NY Times

The Great Sorority Purge -- Newsweek

DePauw Cuts Ties With Troubled Sorority -- Washington Post, Associated Press

Rules of Attraction:  Did Delta Zeta cull all but the prettiest sisters from its DePauw University chapter?  The sorority's former president on why she was asked to leave -- Newsweek

And the NY Times piece that got it started:  Evictions at Sorority Raise Issue of Bias.

The Delta Zeta sorority now says it's sorry, but on the same page it blames the DePauw sisters and the media for the crisis.  Yes, that's the sisterly way to apologize.
