Are you saying that if your chapter started singing coarse rap songs out loud your charter should be suspended by national?

Yes. If the chapter intentionally and en masse attempted to provoke a racial incident on campus, I have no tolerance for that. As a Sigma Nu, I'd say such individuals would fall well short of the standards we strive for.

If that's true, do you also think that if ANY fraternity did so that they should also be suspended?
|
It's not for me to say. How other fraternities want to run their business is up to them entirely.

What if the Sigma Nu pledges showed up in the student union wearing sunglasses, matching hats, painted boots and dog collars? How about branding?

I'd think that might be some kind of hazing and want it to be looked into. Wearing attire not generally publicly acceptable and not in good taste might violate our hazing policy. The branding would certainly be cause for concern.

Did I understand you correctly that the university should suspend individuals or a chapter for political speech? Hard for me to believe you would say that knowing what we know about politics and the law.

No. I think students have the right to say what they want without fear of reprisal if they are at a public institution. There are of course limits, but the rights of university students should certainly be no less than of the public at large.
