This is actually one of the better points in this thread in terms of application.

If the chapter is visibly boycotted, NPC sororities not doing mixers, attending their parties, or accepting be paired with them during Greek Events. We will see the chapter wilt visibly.

IF we go a step farther and people do editorials in the school paper as well as take out commercials on the school tv and maybe put up some posters with the pictures on it around campus, the chapter will be devestated.

The final step would be to actually stage protests before the houses larger attempts at parties. Get out there before the guests even show up and have video cameras taping people the people that enter the house. Then you could spend a few minutes of editing and splice the film together and put together a quick "video of shame" that would be released weekly and show the faces of the people attending the party along with some funny as hell commentary.

Example: "Yo, must be a freshman tricked out like a ho like that going into the most racist house on campus." Split screen shot with the noose-wearing-young-poster-children-for-birthcontrol and the freshman face. Follow up dialogue: "Damn freshmen girls are desperate for the cock to go in there".


Sheez people, its not that hard to break any house on a given campus. Just pay me a consultant's fee and I'll come down there and set up the program for you.

I am a little toungue in cheek but also serious. Remember, South Africa could deal with the world hating it, but it couldn't deal with divestment.

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.
