GREENCASTLE, Ind. - DePauw University's president on Monday ordered a sorority off campus by fall after Delta Zeta kicked out nearly two dozen members and drew accusations that only attractive, popular students were asked to remain. School president Robert Bottoms said the values of the sorority did not fit with the 2,200-student private college 40 miles west of Indianapolis. The Delta Zeta sorority has said the 23 evictions were based on the members' lack of commitment to recruiting new members. But those asked to leave have said they were removed because of their appearance, contending they were active and supportive members of their sorority. In a statement, Delta Zeta said it was "disappointed" that DePauw had closed the chapter and said the situation was being "mischaracterized."
