I really don't believe they are that ignorant of their actions. They stated that they didn't want it to turn into another "Auburn incident" letting me know they had prior knowledge of incidences like this and that they knew there could be repercussions for it. Members of their fraternity also attended an education seminar on race issues that did discuss black face only a few days before. These guys had to have known what they were doing could be offensive and hurtful to an entire population of the campus community.
Okay, throw it out then. Even if they were blatantly trying to piss off as many people as possible... The worst they can be called is (insert flowery adjectives here). My point is that if Kappa Sigma doesn't see fit to punish them then maybe the school's IFC should (but not the school administration if it's a public university). If not them then maybe the philanthropies they do would disassociate with them, etc...

I'm simply saying the point in which you involve the government to regulate speech then you have started down a dangerous path. Thoughtcrime is not a punishable offense and I'd like to keep it that way.
