Ohhh... I CANT BELIEVE IT (in T-PAIN VOICE)


Eta Upsilon Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho is facing criminal charges after injuring several pledges who were on-line for the sorority
Six members of the Sigma Gamma Rho sorority at Rutgers University
in New Brunswick have been arrested and charged with hazing pledges by paddling them and restricting how much they could eat over an eight day period, authorities said today. “At least one victim went to a hospital for non life-threatening injuries,” Rutgers police Lt. Richard Dinan said.

There were at least three victims, but police are still investigating and may identify more victims and more suspects. One victim reported the hazing to police Tuesday, and four sorority members were arrested later that day. Police on Tuesday arrested Vanessa Adegbite, 21, of Jersey City, Kesha Cheron, 20, of Newark, Llana Warner, 20 of Bronx, N.Y. and Joana Bernard, 21, of West Orange. They were charged with aggravated hazing and bail was set at $1,500.

Sigma Gamma Rho is a recognized sorority but the victims were “unofficial pledges” because the hazing did not occur during the university’s recognized pledge period. CU ...I ASK WHEN IS ENOUGH, ENOUGH.I certainly understand that nothing worth having should be just given ,and that hard work and detication are essintial to anything great ,but where and when did we as a people resolt to pure violent acts. The mission Statement of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority's aims to enhance the quality of life within the community. Public service, leadership development and education of youth are the hallmark of the organization's programs and activities. Sigma Gamma Rho addresses concerns that impact society educationally, civically, and economically.I wonder if these acts of violence fit into the sororities vision.I am not blaming the intire organization as a whole and wouldn’t wish to sentence anyone whom is undeserving but, wrongs most be made right.IDK ....CU what do you think...?
