It's called tact.

As for a fraternity hanging the flag, I think that's even worse. As members of GLO's we are supposed to present ourselves positively, and displaying the Confederate Flag is going to give some people a negative view of the fraternity/GLO's in general. Yes, they have the right to fly the flag, but that doesn't mean it's smart.
I agree with you, just wanted to set the record straight that in some part of the world, swastika is not considered an offensive symbol, while other part it is.
