The report stated that while Gainesville woman Ashley Williams was "attempting to rush a University sorority last week," she was asked by the Panhellenic Council for her University student information. The report states that Williams attempted to use the UGA ID and password of Kelly Hall, a sophomore from Duluth and a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.
"When asked to provide her UGA student information, Ms. Williams stated that she had left her ID at her home and ... used Ms. Hall's user name and password to log in," according to the report.
Hall was notified by ACC Officer D. Cook on Saturday that Williams had attempted to use her identity to log in to University computers and also to OASIS.
Williams had attempted to log into OASIS using a Social Security number and an incorrect password, according to the report.
It is unclear if Williams was trying to use her own Social Security number or if she had attempted to use Hall's.
In a telephone interview Sunday, Hall told The Red & Black she and Williams were roommates while living in Athens this past summer.
According to the incident report, Williams may have obtained Hall's information this way. Hall refused to comment further.
"I really don't want anything to be said about it," Williams said in a telephone interview Sunday.
Hall and her parents are not sure if they will press charges for the felony charge, the report stated.

Those Gainseville State kids are always pretending that they go here.
I wish those bozos would just keep to themselves.

I wonder what the object of the game was. Suppose the sorority had accepted her -- what then?
The police are doubtless concerned about whether there was more identity theft going on than just this one incident. (Continued…)

According to the report, the suspect's name is Ashley Williams, not Kelly Williams. Keep up the good work, editors.

I've heard of this actually happening before on two different occasions...once in a sorority and a fraternity. In both cases, the perpetrators were not currently attending any college but posed as UGA students. (Continued…)

There are alot of innocent victims in this situation. How sad for everyone affected. I don't see how she thought she could get away with it but she certainly had many people fooled and several of them suffered as a result of their association with her during rush. (Continued…)

This situation is unfortunate. There are a few things I would like to clear up. Thouugh I did note that the parents were hesitant to press charges, this situation is a felony and a citizen cannot swear out a felony warrant. (Continued…)

One of my best friends was an innocent victim in this situation and was dropped from Kappa because of Ms. Williams. Her deception fooled everyone close to her and we hope she can get the help that she needs to overcome this. (Continued…)

Ok, this situation is very unfortunate. But who are any of you to judge this girl that you dont even know. Are you better than her because you go to UGA, or you are in a sorority/fraternity? No. (Continued…)
