Funny but Mattioli sounds Italian
Hmmm. . .maybe he's Hispanic/Italian

Um, that is not a very cool thing to say and almost 'racist,' eh? Judging the quality of someone's ethnicity by their last name....
Marc M. IS Latino--he was born & raised in Puerto Rico.
I go to Duke.
The Sigma Chis are nice guys and it's a shame that while a lot of the other frat chapters on campus have just as 'offensive' party themes, the SigChis were singled out sort of.
The ATOs had their traditional Ghetto Fabulous party tonight, but of course renamed it (b/c of the Sigma Chi debacle) "Rapper's Delight"--of course it still WAS Ghetto Fabulous (I was there). We're all wondering if the KA formal will still be called Old South (which it has been since the Alpha Phi chapter started in 1903 here at Duke). Several sororities get together & have a party called "White Trash" every year but I think that might be different this year too....hmmmm....
P.S. It's not really that big of a deal here. In fact, all of ten people showed up for the "protest" or "demonstration" or whatever the media's been calling it. And no one is getting in trouble and no one is "outraged"--at least not really anyone I've talked to. The media has blown this out of proportion!
