The point is, they are participating and tacitly encouraging in the stupid.
Tacitly? More like directly participating and being equally at fault for the stupid. And a lot of alumni of these groups are just as guilty for these things happening. Many of these parties, e.g., pimps and hos, etc., have been going on for years and right or wrong (okay, wrong), we're just now really clamping down.

At my school, it wasn't until last year (or maybe a couple or more years ago, I forget exactly when) that we started having to submit paperwork about our social events which contained warnings that racial stereotypes, gender stereotype themes were verboten.
