These lucky girls will win a special Welcome Back celebration to kick off the Fall 2007 semester, but only if they all participate successfully in the SELF challenge, which involves tracking eating and exercise in an interactive online journal. Empowering! Unfortunately, only Alpha Phis are eligible. Delta Zetas just can't win, can they?

Colleen, it turns out, isn't the first student who Rodney has chaturanga'd atop. Far from it, it fact: a 2002 lawsuit was brought against Yee by a fellow teacher at his California yoga studio, accusing him of "inappropriate behavior" with his students. A tipster points us to this 2004 Self article about Yee and the suit, in which that teacher, Susanne Bruder, maintained that Yee's student-fucking "represents an abuse of power and is unbecoming of a healer or a teacher....His refusal to accept that he needs help in this area and his attempts to blame the women involved puts more students at risk." Yee's response was classic:
The reality is that most teachers fall in love with their students, but sex is such a small part of it . . . every relationship is unique and can't be judged . . . every once in a while, just like in therapy, there might be real chemistry between two people. It's a decent guideline, but you shouldn't be crucified for not following it.
Yup, just like in therapy! (Shudder).
