But what we do know, and what we find ,. disturbing, is the way the incident has been handled by the parties involved.

True, women in this position are often fearful or even, sorry to say, ashamed to report the assault - but this case is more complicated. Several ources close to the case have told The Revie~V that the woman reported the incident to some of her sorority sisters shortly after it took place- and was dissuaded by those same sisters from reporting it. That is disgusting. How can a woman - how can a person -effectively silence a wounded friend for the administrative and public relations good of an organization? How can a ·' woman sweep the issue of sexual assault under the carpet when it has happened to someone she calls her sister? We are appalled. ·. We also take exception to the very fact that Sigma Kappa has been effectively punished by their national organization while Kappa Alpha suffers no such consequences. Even given that the sexual assault has not been established as fact, the two Greek organizations were equally culpable - olely because of the •' involvement of their members- for the hazing incident which resulted in Sigma Kappa's sanctioning. Where is national Kappa Alpha? Don't they have rules about ·, hazing too?

We also believe, almost to a person, that we have absolutely no business just as the only similarity between gays and rallying cries as, "Say it loud, I' m black and I'm "difference."

These statements of black pride involved conceal who they are and "pass" as straight if has that in common. So stop using the Civil more than not in some way attempting to hide they really want.
