Actually, if you actually buy the premise that anyone, at least from a logical standpoint where someone is reacting to something which was actually portrayed because that portrayal means something or does something bad, has anything to be offended over [I don't], the "it's all in good fun" line, if true, mitigates "intent to offend," which is apparently a class C felony on college campuses these days.

In this case, I'm definitely buying that this is true in this case.

TP: I really don't care what the school did. That they did what they did doesn't make it right.

I agree, social probation at the end of the semester, only a few weeks away from finals probably isn't going to affect the sorority that much. It's the principle of the thing which makes me wish they'd fight it, but really, when a punishment so light is on the table, sometimes, it's best to just take the path of least resistance.
