A fraternity wannabe concocting a persona as a married mother to submit an inquiry seems, to me, to be more likely than a married mother so desperate to join a fraternity that she takes to stealing (as an alternative to a random act of violence).<BR/><BR/>Interview enough petty criminals, and you will find that many have difficulty keeping their story straight.

We did an "educator's scavenger hunt", which entailed annoying some of our professors...and then we had a nice dinner!<BR/><BR/>But anyway, my point was that not all fraternities are necessarily confined to single, college-aged men. There are several nationwide co-ed social fraternities. I'm not sure I buy the defendant's line of BS, but it's not too far out of the realm of possibility that she does actually belong to a fraternity.Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14251697914587704486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973827.post-1121298894083783082005-07-13T19:54:00.000-04:002005-07-13T19:54:00.000-04:00It would be a bit of a stretch, given the wording,...It would be a bit of a stretch, given the wording, and would be rather peculiar for honor society hazing (I mean, did Kappa Delta Pi ask for anything more than, say, shaving your eyebrows off, or wearing your pants backwards for a day?)....<BR/><BR/>But hey - maybe Skull and Bones is now accepting women. ;-)Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523334580402022332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973827.post-1121256045276020132005-07-13T08:00:00.000-04:002005-07-13T08:00:00.000-04:00Mmm, depends on the "fraternity".

For instance, there's an Education honorary "fraternity" (Kappa Delta Pi) which is co-ed and not restricted to only single 19 year-olds looking to pad Ye Olde Resume.<BR/><BR/>HOWEVER, I surely don't remember being asked to do anything illegal when I was inducted ~15 years ago. (And these days, I see they're calling themselves an "honor society" instead of a "fraternity", but whatever.)Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14251697914587704486noreply@blogger.com
