Scary thought! Anyway, we all know what they did wasn't constitutionally illegal. So, everyone can stop trying to "explain" that aspect. Those of us with brains and souls are saying that something must be done to end this behavior. The fraternity is on campus only with permission from the university. All organizations are on campus by permission, and must abide by certain rules. For that matter, all students agree to abide by certain rules when they attend to a particular school. That is the issue!

If it's a public university, they have no business stepping in on free speech just because it is stupid and offensive. The university of course can pull recognition. However, it has been shown that groups that are not recognized by the university are even more of a liability than before, so administrators are careful about doing that sort of thing.
There's such a tendency to react and do whatever makes you feel better. However, that's not always legal or practical.
No one was physically injured here. No one's rights were infringed upon. If I had a nickel for every time someone around me did something that made me uncomfortable, I'd be a rich man. This righteous indignation by peope in no way associated with the event here is actually kind of silly.
