DePauw U., Delta Zeta Settle Lawsuit

Filed in archive News by Greg Cruey on November 18, 2007

It looks like the Delta Zeta sorority will eventually be allowed to return to the campus of DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana. The university severed its ties with Delta Zeta in February amid charges of discrimination in the sorority. The sorority's national office sued the university over that decision. And the university and the sorority have now agreed that Delta Zeta will be allowed to return to the campus in 2010 as part of an out of court settlement, according to United Press International.
On the campus of Depauw U...


Delta Zeta's DePauw chapter is over 100 years old. Problems at DePauw with Delta Zeta began in February when a psychology professor on campus survey students who, in the words of the NY Times, described Delta Zeta's members as "socially awkward." The sorority them booted out almost two dozen members who were either overweight or not popular enough on campus. Included in the list of those who got the boot: every minority member of the sorority.

It would be an understatement to say that there was a degree of bitterness on campus toward Delta Zeta. The perspective of a blogger who calls herself CityMamma is interesting. She describes herself as "over-weight and half-Korean."
