Oh, I have several thoughts.
First, if it isn't illegal I don't agree with any university punishment--period. I greatly believe in the bill of rights even for those with whom I disagree. Instead, I favor public shaming and ridicule. If an organization, GLO or otherwise, engages in beliefs or practices with which you disagree, then publicly call them upon it. IN this case, all the other GLO's could make signs and picket their house, refuse to associate with them in mixers, intramurals. etc.
Second, if it is illegal, then I think you have to take a careful look at the situation. If the group is sponsoring illegal activity, then there are statutes which deal with such groups and they should be procecuted. However, if it is a couple of idiots, then I think the university should deal with them on an individual basis. Group punishment is morally wrong. If one man does XXX, we shall punish all XXXs. If one Hispanic does XXX, then we shall punish all Hispanics. If one Sigma Chi does XXX, then we shall punish all Sigma Chi's. As an Aside, Group or collective punishment is one of the principal terror tactics used by muderous regimes throughout history. The Nazis used it frequently.
