There are two different issues going on here in my opinion. The members of your chapter or I might not agree with his treatment of an American flag but I feel that it is important that he retains his right to protest by burning or otherwise harming the flag. What bothers me more about the incident is that he chose to do so with a flag that belongs not to him but to the chapter as a whole. It wasn't his own flag to treat as he desires. It was community property and thus his actions were disrespectful of fraternity. Perhaps you might consider telling him that while you disagree with his actions that you won't intervene if he repeats it with a flag he has purchased for such activities and not one that belongs to the fraternity at large.
I hope I'm being clear about what I'm trying to say, but it's been a really long week here!
