So here are my thoughts on the matter: 

1. The song itself was despicable. We all know that sororities have their “songs,” but this one was written down and written recently. I think the biggest issue that our community has had with it stems from how personalized the song was towards specific sororities. I think had it not been so specific, so many parties would not have been as greatly offended.

2. The actions of those involved reflected girlish high school behavior, and I strongly believe the consequences will mirror this. That being said, this brings us to a much larger point. Women in general have a problem with gossip and slander against one another, but in our Greek community, our biggest enemy is ourselves. That my friends is truly disappointing.

Tri-Delta has already apologized for their actions and now as a Greek community, it's time for us to act like mature, responsible young women and forgive them. Forgive them and learn from our mistakes. These women that created the song were seniors, and I am damn sure they’re sorry for it. As they grow and move on from LSU, it is up to us to determine what their legacy will be. 

Every sorority has had a scandal, and I suggest we look at all of our chapters and consider how we can grow and improve cohesively as a community rather than saying it was just desserts for this one sorority. I'm sure many of you have good friends in Tri-Delta and it would be immature to let your loving and kind friends suffer because of a few bad apples. 

So what do we do now? As I previously said, we forgive. After we forgive, we grow. Grow so much to where we stop insinuating that ridiculous sorority stereotypes are true. Grow so much to where we actually do mean it when we say all chapters are great in their own way and everyone really does fit in best somewhere. Grow so much that we can actually look back on our conversations and be proud of what we discussed. Now, let’s come together and call it a day. We’re all Tigers, after all, and are all damn proud we don’t go to 'Bama.
