And this is why we shouldn't get rid of undergrads. With all due respect why are you going to judge these brothers over what an outsider wrote about them. Have you talked to any of them? Do you know the details of the situation? Of course you don't because of the comment you made. Yes I am very passionate about this situation because these brothers aren't just my frat they are my friends. I am not a member of the Norfolk State chapter but the Old Dominion chapter about 10 miles down the street. And of course everyone thinks we are guilty of the same actions. What we do is frat bussiness and no one elses so I won't get into that here but this article is very one sided. I wonder if the fact that I am still an undergrad I am able to truly analyse the article. Maybe you'll find it interesting that my chapters advisor as well as the director of greek affairs at my school were interviewed for the article but none of their comments were entered. They left out the fact that my chapter has no incidents of hazing, have the highest GPA for fraternitities on our campus (black or white) and are nominated for numerous awards in this years local NAACP Image Awards and Student Activites Awards. We need to check ourselves in these situations. Just getting rid of undergrads is as dumb of an idea as getting rid of pledging was. Look at the result, was anything solved. Nope. We are too quick to say lets just get rid of _________ (I leave it blank because soon after undergrads it will be something else) instead of fixing the problem. I've said it numerous times this is the same as freedom of speach debates. Instead of taking mentor responsibility we would rather just get rid of undergrads. I feel everyone with this view should think twice about why they became a Sigma. If I offended anyone tough I feel strongly about this. My father pledged so why shouldn't I. He never killed anyone why would I.
