By Liz Zatz | Sep. 16, 2010After reading how the Alligator staff responded to the Chris Rainey story, I was thoroughly disappointed. Saying Rainey “just sent a sexy text message that said ‘Time to die bitch’ among other sweet nothings” is trivializing a serious issue.

Furthermore, IRHA prides itself on its ability to build great leaders out of its ranks, many of whom go on to achieve great things in the university and the world.
