I too agree that the accused fraternity members knew what they were doing was wrong. Why? Because:
1. When asked by the BSU member, the fraternity member felt the need to l ie ans say he was a member of an BGLO. Why lie if you are doing something that you think is ok?
2. Statements such as "We didn't want this to be another Auburn incident"?
3. The RECENT seminar regarding the history and inappropriateness of the use of blackface.
In regards to punishment, I am not sure. I mean, how do you punish the stupid? If they have already been through some type of ethnic or sensitivity training, really the only thing left would be some type of punishment handed down from the fraternity's HQ. I dunno, these are just things coming off the top of my head.
I concur with the GC're that stated that don't these boys realize that they have other fraternity brothers that are of other ethnicities? How do they think this makes them feel about there so-called brothers or maybe even their fraternity as a whole?
And additionally, why is it men that have been doing these types of things?
