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


I'd imagine the legal ramifications of this would probably be a key as to why she didn't pick up a bid.

I knew a girl in a wheelchair who was in a sorority at LSU. Not sure which one..

With that said, a friend of mine who was in a Fraternity at Nicholls got in a fight with a pledge with Down Syndrome. It's kind of fricked up, but the way he told it was funny as hell.

Evidently at first, everyone was interacting with him and was all supportive of him pledging but he said it was like the more comfortable he got the crazier he got. My friend had been drinking and decided he was going to go calm the kid down and he ended up getting in fight with him. This was before camera phones, but they made both of them leave. They told my friend to just leave and they would say they made them both leave and the person with Down Syndrome flagged from joining a Fraternity.

Seriously, on hand I know it sucks and that it is someone's child and that they pretty much used that as an excuse to not allow him to join a Fraternity.. But on the other hand.. It was a hilarious story.

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

If having brains was a prerequisite for joining sororities, the members would have very few sisters in most sororities.

Yeah, I was sort speaking in general. I just hate to see someone be dealt with Down's, childhood cancer, etc. It's unfair to them, unfair to the family, everyone.


Well, considering the “cure”...it’s just a bad deal

You claim a friend that fought with Corky.

Just think about that for a second.

She probably would have improved most of the sororities' composite GPAs.

To be fair, girls without Down’s syndrome get cut all the time.



Yeah, maybe she just had a terrible personality.

Sororities aren't meant for fat, ugly, poor or retard chicks. That's life.

You would like to think this kind of story would have a happy ending but they shouldn't have gotten her hopes up

They can take whomever they choose and she wasn't chosen. Tough shite. Plus, they would have had her fricking donkeys for their entertainment.

This is a PR homerun for a sorority. Suprising none of them were smart enough to realize
