KABillyMac, I am a member of Delta Sigma Phi at UTSA. Me and about 10 of my brothers from this chapter took a road trip to UNT to visit our brothers there and attend their Bid Day. I was there in the bid room at the University union w/ the KA's during that time, they had their Confederate Flag out and their dog "Dixie". I am hispanic, but in no shape, way or form was I offended, because I knew it was a symbol of pride to (some)of the KA's. I went to UNT my Freshman year and the KA's i met were cool guys, they never said anything derogatory about me. When bid day was over we all walked out of the Room and (YES) the KA's did make what could be considered racist remarks (I'm not lying and would make no reason to). I personally laughed it off and continued yelling our chants. There was a group touring the union at the time looking at us from downstairs, but I don't think the KA's did it intetionally. This was the incident on the same day prior to the football recruits walking past their house. Anyways our chapter left that night and about 2 days later I was made aware of the incident by a brother of mine at UNT. I was also made aware that one of your brothers in UNT-Student Government who was the president stepped down and disbanded himself from KA during the investigation. I think his name was Matt. Just wanted to let you know I was there and saw the incident and am in no way dislikeful of Kappa Alpha Order.
