Universities allocate those resources to Greek Life because it's mostly a mutually beneficial relationship. In campuses where we have university owned housing, fraternities and sororities actively recruit people to live in the dorms and typically pay more rent than the average student.

I really don't believe Penn State or any school should be in the position to ever punish speech. What is "offensive" is way too subjective.

It's an academic discussion really because Chi Omega's alumnae or HQ are going to come down on these girls like a ton of bricks. That's how things should work. This is an internal issue they need to deal with, not an issue external actors need to be butting in to.
