Funny, last time I read about a party controversy at Harvard, it was because a non-Greek organization threw a kegger-themed party called "Harvard State University." I thought that was hilarious, but it was condemned as elitist and making fun of public school students blah blah blah. The local state university's own students refer to it affectionately as Zoo-Mass, so Harvard students weren't the only ones who had the impression that public schools party harder.

We have to get the fliers approved before printing, and if the "wrong" flyer shows up after a party is approved, we get put on social suspension (school and GLO). That's enough incentive to stay away from juvenile names.

Ditto. THe fliers and party names have to get approved by the school.

Unofficial parties can have whatever name they want to have (if any).

I'm sure some Navajo somewhere committed suicide over this. And those poor Conquistadors.

Well, the Conquistadors probably weren't traumatized, but the Conquistabros? For sure!

Our GLOs are filled with people from all different backgrounds and grown men and women (even if their actions say otherwise). Assuming that 1) the chapter knew what said member was planning on doing and 2) thinking that an 18-year-old could stop a, say, 20-year-old from doing what s/he wants to do is ridiculous.

Trust me.. I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm only saying that I'm not surprised it happened.

Better to be safe than sorry, I say. However, if I was in a chapter that was held accountable as a whole for a stupid decision that one person made, I would fight it tooth-and-nail.
