Plans to bring a fifth sorority to the University of South Dakota have been axed for another year. USD’s Panhellenic Council voted against adding a new sorority Nov. 10.

Tania Aesoph was 50 years old and a mother of five when she was murdered in 1999. She separated from her husband-turned-murderer, David Aesoph, twice — once in 1994 and again in 1999.

SIDI provides a harshly accurate portrayal of alcoholism and predatory economic practices centered in the “town” of Whiteclay, Neb., population 10 (United States Census, 2010). Whiteclay’s economy is based on alcohol […]
