there is absolutely no way that any Greek person in the southeast did not hear about the Auburn incident. perhaps because you are from a different region of the country, you are less aware.
the point i am making is anyone who dresses up in blackface in 2004 knows that it is offensive. there really is no gray area there. it is insensitive. even if there were no black people at GSU, that would be wrong ( not to mention that GSU sits in the middle of atlanta, a city with one of the highest percentages of african-american citizens in country). those men knew what they were doing and if the leadership in the chapter didn't take a strong stand and waited on an outside source to report it, they yes they all deserve to be punished. that is how organizations work.
people don't seem to get that once you join an organization, you take on both the benefits and the responsibilities of membership. leadership isn't doing what is popular, it is doing what is right.
