The BSA's actions offend me. They obviously offended the PKA's that needed bodyguards to safely pass between classes. The state institution gave them power by not stopping their actions. They are just as much an organization as PKA. They used campus property to post those flyers which were aimed at defaming Pi Kappa Alpha.

What the court says here is that the state institution has no right to step in either way. It would support my assertion that the two expelled members would actually have the better civil rights case.

You're right as far as the organization goes. Were these fellas members of my chapter, they'd most likely be ex-members of my chapter based on these actions. As for the school and their actions, I find them to be very out of line.

I don't think these two individuals would have a stronger civil rights case, still. I also do not think at all that I made your case for you. But if that's how you see it, fine.
