So, remember when we wrote about the Delta Zeta girls of DePauw University and their decision to ban fatties and foreigners from their sorority mixers? Well, despite the sorority's later claims that they were misrepresented in that fateful New York Times article, the university itself has decided to sever all ties with the remaining bitchy-but-svelte Delta Zeta members:
DePauw University announced Monday it had severed ties with a sorority whose mass eviction of members sparked allegations that only attractive, popular students were asked to remain.
"We at DePauw believe that the values of our university and those of Delta Zeta sorority are incompatible," university President Robert G. Bottoms wrote in a letter delivered Monday to the sorority's national president, Deborah A. Raziano.
Natch, the recently ousted chubby ex-Delta Zetas must be thrilled to hear that their former sorority sisters have lost their university affiliation and are likely to be disbanded. Which just goes to show that karma really is a bitch. The only thing bitciher? A group of (former) sorority girls who lost their university backing after kicking out all the Ugly Betties and Foreign Fatimas.

Ugly people. It seems like they're everywhere these days, doesn't it? From the heinous man who sells you your cigarettes to those unsightly characters who ride the subway, walking around the city isn't exactly a pretty sight.
Thankfully, a courageous group of attractive girls have finally decided to do something about it.
That's right, according to yesterday's New York Times, the Delta Zeta women of DePauw University have decided to take a long overdue stand against uglies and foreigners by throwing out all the undateable members of their sorority.
Apparently concerned about their negative image, the quick-thinking members of Delta Zeta did what any rexy, laxative-inhaling sorority would do: made up an excuse to get rid of those co-eds deemed "not attractive enough" for Greek life.
Worried that a negative stereotype of the sorority was contributing to a decline in membership that had left its Greek-columned house here half empty, Delta Zeta’s national officers interviewed 35 DePauw members in November, quizzing them about their dedication to recruitment. They judged 23 of the women insufficiently committed and later told them to vacate the sorority house.
The 23 members included every woman who was overweight. They also included the only black, Korean and Vietnamese members. The dozen students allowed to stay were slender and popular with fraternity men — conventionally pretty women the sorority hoped could attract new recruits. Six of the 12 were so infuriated they quit.
