What you and others seem to think is that just because someone has the privilege to free speech that others should sit there and take it. It might be free speech but his brothers have the right to judge him based on it, the fraternity's national office has a right to evaluate whether the chapter represents their ideals, and potential members have the option of choosing whether to join...all parties exercising their freedoms with a reaction to the original expression.
