Beta Theta Pi and Delta Sigma Phi
 

Honestly, I have to admit there are still racism in the greek system and that is why many people are wary of pre-dom white greeks...... when stuff like this happen, you can see why people are wary and feel more safer with an ethnic based one. I was so SHOCKED when I read this. This is a bit old though.

Lack of Tolerance

and click here to see the pictures, this is WAY worse than blackface and those white trash girls are bunnyf---ers, if you dont know what that means, PM me.
Greek RACIST pictures

there are many, many threads on this, and this incident that's in the pictures specifically

This is outrageous.....college students that should know better, but then again not everyone that goes to college is smarter then the average bear.

I'm surprised that the guy that they "lynched" didn't have the word junglebunny or alabama porch monkey across his t-shirt.

It disgust me that these peolpe think that it si funny and "COOL" to do this kind of crap. Now both Fraternitities have been suspended..I hope that the money that they spent on making the Omega Psi Phi shirts was worth it? If HQ offices of both Fraternities don't expell those members that were dressed in that manner then they are cintributing to the probelm andhave just set a bad example for other chapters of both orgs.

Didn't the article mention that one of the orgs is a historicall Jewish Freternity? If it is you would think that those bros would be more mindful of that sort of behavior considering all the hatred that jews have had to endure over the years. :mad:

This is old news, as stated, go do a Thread Search and you'll find it. Both chapters were slapped around quite a bit by the University and their Nationals, but I do believe they remain on campus, probably under some type of probation. I know the Beta's are still there, and they continue to dominate at Auburn.

What a few of them did sucks, they all paid the price, time to move on.

The article is dated 2001.

As has already been pointed out, this article is from 2001 and the incident(s) have been discussed at some length in previous GreekChat threads.

Unfortunatley, this episode happened among a spate of blackface incidents at different schools in divergent parts of the country.

However, simply because this is "old news," it doesn't mean the problem has been eliminated -- as is proven by recent situations.

Rather than repeat the content from all of the previous posts on this subject, I would urge you to go back and find the old threads, read them, and comment if you have anything new to add.

I will leave this thread open, though, as long as any comments or debates remain respectful.

D A, I would give this a very thin leash!

For those that want to are bring this up. It is a dead subject.

While not dead to some it is best to just leave it alone.

So, if all of you over sensative people get your hair on fire, please dont!:)

This is supposed to be a Site to help each other, Discuss aspects of problems and help each ohter if and when we can!:cool:

I did a search and I could not find it! I even searched the frat name specifically and even the name of the city Auburn, etc...

how about a search on "blackface"?

you've been around for the blackface discussions.........

Re: Beta Theta Pi and Delta Sigma Phi
 

I followed the links, and learned a lot. There is an interesting, but apparently useless "which race do you love?" test.

Apparently to these Harvard scientists, it's bad when whites dress up for halloween parties, but it's not bad when the BSA at GA State passes out flyers with phony pictures condeming the Pikes.

The "white power music industry" (quote below) is bad, but obscene/racist rap music is OK.

-------------------------
"A frenzied and furious rock sound fueling a new generation of hatred has crushed the popular theory that "music soothes the savage beast."

"The ultra-violent white power music industry not only is providing new recruits and money for some of the world's most dynamic racist revolutionaries, but also is helping to drive the internationalization of neo-Nazism.

"Riding the infinite wave of the Internet and propelled by the energies and dollars of "mainstream" hatemongers, white power music is creeping into all parts of the world and -- its proponents hope -- into your home."
-----------------------

IMHO, these links go to sites which falsely claim to promote racial harmony.

Both frats were kicked off campus but then they sued the University and somehow got to come back. Supposedly, Beta used the money they won to build an enormous new house. Beta is considered one of the best frats on campus.

This topic is a dead horse, and it wants people to stop beating it ;)

Might be a good idea. But most of those discussions are locked, aren' t they?

Both fraternities were punished harshly. Delta Sig more because of simulating hangings. They both are still on campus but Delta Sig is low on numbers and has never really recovered. And as for Beta's house, it wasn't built with money from this, there house was built in the eighties.

Locked, and locked with good reason. It's academic though, they are not deleted but present in the archives and merely locked to prevent further posting (possibly read: attacks) on an exhausted news topic.
