quote:

AnnCatherine told The Mighty she wanted to be in a sorority to meet new people. She said she was crying and upset when she found out she wasn’t going to be a part of a sorority. Lillie was upset as well but also felt guilty as she had encouraged AnnCatherine to rush. Lillie helped her pick out her outfits and prepare for the often demanding recruitment process.


quote:

“She asked why no one wanted to be her sister, and my heart broke,” Lillie said. “I didn’t really know how to look at my precious and phenomenal little sister and tell her they didn’t want you because you have a disability, and I really do believe that’s what happened.”


Did they seriously expect her to get a bid I feel sorry for the girl but..even if she would have gotten a bid she would be a charity case

Sorostitutes are pin cushions. Having a mentally challenged girl that, "just wants to fit in" is a recipe for disaster.

I highly doubt that.

If I could have ever done something with my life, it's being able to find a cure for things like Down's Syndrome and muscular dystrophy.

A savvy sorority would have snatched ber up. Imagine all the good publicity they'd get.

This is a legit wyhi and if she had gotten into a sorority, it probably would have been bad for her.

She's apparently a student as part of some special program for people with disabilities. Why wouldn't she get a bid? A conscientious organization would have found some way to get her involved. Just goes to show that Sorority and Fraternity people tend to be self important assholes like I've always tended to think.

Here comes mandatory "You have to take everyone that rushes your fraternity or sorority, cutting someone is hazing" rules.

Because she would be a mascot, not a real member. Plus how do alcohol and down-syndrome interact? Probably not a great combo

If this was a public school then each sorority should have given her the attempt to rush and accommodate for any disabilities in accordance with the ADA

But if that happened and she didn’t get picked then life goes on

She’s a cute young lady and will succeed
