for recourse i did not know that nobody told me that i finally was able to get to the right person to tell them this and this was the only formal justice from western university that i ever got which was such a load of bullshit he was put on some sort of probation which basically meant if he did anything again then they would pursue a more formal suspension or expulsion

August was the kickoff for our recruitment season in Greek life.

Recruitment is very much, for sororities anyway, an all hands on deck type of situation because recruitment impacts the chapter for the next four years.

If you have a good year, if you fill your quota, if you get a good pledge class, that's going to bolster your chapters.

So it's a very important time for us.

At Western University, we had a Greek recruitment kickoff barbecue.

So it was like a pre-recruitment event and something that I attended as a freshman.

It's essentially like get to know all the houses, scope out some girls that you're really interested in recruiting.

It was an important time for me because I was representing my sorority.

Justin was not picked up by this legacy fraternity that he wanted to be in, as we know.

He decided to show up to the Greek barbecue because he knew there was nothing I could do, but that it would antagonize me and disrupt me and further hurt my credibility and my sorority's ability to recruit because I was wearing letters.

I was wearing a shirt that said the name of my sorority on it.

And I'm...

Crying and distraught, not to use his word, but looking crazy in front of all these potential new members, all the people that are already in other Greek organizations and my own, thinking, what the heck is her problem?

No, I started panicking and crying and a pledge sister who I'm still good friends with to this day pulls me aside because she knew what was going on.

So we were like around the corner hiding as I'm sobbing, freaking out.

By this point, I had figured out that if I wanted to report a violation of the no contact agreement, I had to report it to the Office of the Dean of Students.

So I called the Office of the Dean of Students and they sent people from their office down to the Greek barbecue to see what was going on.

But what I did not know at the time was that Justin had an advocate because I was allowed a victim advocate in the victim advocate's office.

So because of that sexy little due process, his advocate came through the Office of the Dean of Students.
