More madness
Now, this stuff is becoming like a firestorm, and feel free to tell me to cease posting it.
I would put it on the greeklife thread, but that has become a hot mess that I don't care to indulge in. This just came over a Yahoo! group I belong to for NPHC, and it was posted by a professor at the University of Louisville:
Brothers, Sisters, Friends, and Others:
Everyone should know that the happenings at Auburn University are not isolated. On the very same night, members of Tau Kappa Epsilon here at the University of Louisville engaged in the same type of activity. In the case here, white members "blackened up" and wore prison outfits and pimp gear.
One of the five black members of this frat even attended this "private" party as a klan member (I know, how sick have we become?). The most disturbing thing here is, as of yesterday, the University's administration had not responded to this thing. At least Auburn got rid of their fools quickly and extended the usual symbolic apology. We have had to take matters into our own hand here and will have a student gathering next
Wednesday and have demanded that the Vice-President for Student Affairs here:
1) Bring the entire chapter of TKE before the people and apologize;
2) Suspend the frat; and
3) Identify the members who did this and expel them for at least a semester. The struggle continues.
