I just caught a re-run of The Soup that featured the ill-advised press conference with the attorney representing (I think) the Pike chapter and apparently the young man who was hospitalized. Horrid in every respect. There was definitely a victimization feeling to the whole thing, and definitely a homophobic tone in the attorney's statement (how DARE anyone imply this young man might be a HOMOSEXUAL?!). The other brothers standing around sullenly wearing dark suits and sun glasses made it look even more idiotic.
I did some dumb things in college (I still remember trying to use nicotine patches to stay up to finish a paper...don't ever do that), so did my room-mates, so did my sorority sisters. However, when you got caught (see: underage drinking/public alcohol posssession/public urination-though please note, that was not me), you cried, called your parents, then dealt with it. These guys just don't want to let it go.
