Update: DePauw Bottoms says he needs to clean house; Delta Zeta responds; letter writer says DePauw conveniently forgetting it recommended reorganization

Delta Zeta members sign letter deploring their sorority’s actions

New response by DZ national. The sorority has gone from a defensive “Please don’t let us be misunderstood” to a contrite apology:

Delta Zeta National apologizes to any of our women at DePauw who felt personally hurt by our actions. It was never our intention to disparage or hurt any of our members during this chapter reorganization process.
