Public colleges are where the vast majority of most of our chapters exist. That may not be true for all of us, but certainly most. And at most of those schools, the Greek Life system is an asset to its campus. We are here to stay and our rights of free association aren't going anywhere. Yeah, we might see a smattering of angsty editorials from journalism students in campus newspapers, Alexandra Robbins might book a few more gigs, but really, we are not going away no matter how many of these incidents occur.

That doesn't mean that we shouldn't do what we can to do better and from Pi Kappa Phi's actions, how could anyone conclude they have any other intent other than to try to do the right thing?

For public schools, to derecognize Greek Life would be an unmitigated disaster. Alumni donations would come to a screeching halt and these organizations on or around campus holding parties for thousands of students at a time with zero opportunity for organizational cooperation with Title IX examiners, zero control over sanctioning groups for bad conduct, etc.? This wouldn't work.

Pi Kappa Phi is investigating this. They'll do what they think is the right thing after they have assembled all of the facts. That the entire American fraternal system should be disbanded because two chapters apparently have a bunch of racist asshats in them? I don't think so.
