From Newsweek/Kaplan's How to get into College 2007 Edition:
University of Georgia
FT Undergrads 22,730
Men: 43%
Women: 57%
African-American 5%
Asian-American 5%
Latino 2%
Native-American <1%
Caucasian 86%
In Fraternities 18%
In Sororities 23%


And per: http://www.ope.ed.gov/security/InstI...asp?CRITERIA=H
in the years 2002, 2003, 2004 no hate crimes reported.

GC seems to have two threads on this-went back to re-read most of the other thread.
Without searching for or seeing other updated information, my limited POV is:
It would seem as if a group of young male students, who happened to be pledges of a Fraternity, committed this action.
Again without knowing all information, the only part the the chapter may have had in this was not knowing what their pledges were up to and/or teaching them about being Gentlemen.

As for the rest of this thread, I will just lurk about and read it.
