I know that an african american guy tried to pledge them and received a bid. On the day that pledges were to pick up their bids, the PRESIDENT of kappa sigs called him and told him not to accept the bid. The guy that this happened to is a good guy--he didn't deserve to be treated like this.
Don't presume to know me, Tripod 3. That was wrong of the president and I have seen other Kappa Sigs members do things quite similar to this particular incident. The biggest reason that I refer to them as jerks is that I have seen so many acts of racism from several of their members--a few things have happened to some of my closest friends. You and I have witnessed different situations. You may be friends with some of them, but at this particular time, the rumors of Kappa Sigma Kappa happen to be true. And in this case, you really DON'T know what's going on. I did say that there were one or two nice guys in the club, but from what I know of the majority of the club, they are jerks.
I never said we shouldn't forgive the people that have done things to give the club a bad name. And yes, disbanding them was the right option for Harding. The rules are:
"When it appears a rule of conduct or procedure, in the case of an individual or social
club, has been broken, the director of student life along with the office of the assistant
vice-president/dean of students shall conduct an investigation. If, as a result of the
investigation, they determine that disciplinary procedures are warranted, the student or
social club will be asked to appear before this staff. After the meeting, the student or
social club will be informed in writing of the specific charge(s) being made, the penalty
imposed and the right to an appeal before the Student Services Committee.
DISCIPLINARY SANCTIONS
Any or all of the following can be imposed for a given infraction:
1. Warning: a written or verbal reprimand.
2. Disciplinary Probation: probation for a specified period of time. It may carry with
it other conditions to be met (e.g., restriction of participation in club sports,
functions or other activities).
3. Special Action: designed to enhance the educational intent of the disciplinary
process. Examples include: fines, community service, etc.
4. Suspension of some or all club activities for the remainder of the semester or
remainder of the year. For flagrant violations, violations after warnings or
multiple violations.
5. Disbandment of club: for high-handed and repeat offenders, despite disciplinary
warnings."
They knew the rules... they are in the rule book... And at this point in time the members of the club and the deans know more about the situation than either of us, Tripod 3. So get over your "what is wrong with Harding" mindset and think about the situation.... there is so much you don't understand. Honestly. And insulting me won't make you any happier, because I really do not care what you have to say about me.
Thank YOU!
God Bless You.
