Not only that, but she is also never mentioned without the word "even" ("even Anne Chung!") Maybe this is because she is the token nonwhite member of this sorority and they are emphasizing it?
Greene -- yes. He had nothing to lose if he promptly reported Dillon. Dillon was not his friend and Greene's reputation probably wouldn't go any worse if it were found out he rightfully reported Dillon.
Van Kelt... a bit harder as he and Dillon were roommates and good friends.
Gierasch should have proctored the exam better instead of relying on the honor code... enforcing it by the Honor Council is more about popularity contests than anything else.
The coach most definitely knew about David being Jewish -- otherwise there wouldn't be the semi-awkward question on "do you have any... um, dietary problems?" in regards to David possibly keeping kosher. I agree that the coach genuinely liked David and was supportive of him. And, most likely, it was the coach who discovered David and convinced the alumni and the headmaster to admit David even though no Jews had been admitted in the school before.
Furthermore, I don't think the coach was two-faced. He needed the best quarterback to win the season, and he found that quarterback in David.
The coach and the chaplain are the only likeable adult characters in the school. Well, possibly Gierasch as well (he is tough and abhorring cheating but he treats all students equally.)
The question is when the secret was revealed to Cal Reynolds -- somehow I think it was right at that party when both gentlemen were drunk. Keating asked Reynolds to keep it a secret, and Reynolds promptly blubbed it shortly afterwards to Dillon and his brother.
