While I think that this was horrible judgment on the part of the fraternity members and shows a complete disrespect for the values of the fraternity, I do find it odd that Chico considers this the straw that broke the camel's back. It was inappropriate for these students to do this in their fraternity house. However, the house is a private off campus residence, according to the article. Everyone involved was over 18 and no laws were broken. If this incident had occured at a non-greek off campus party, the university wouldn't be able to do anything about it and there would be nowhere near the press about it. Apparently, this company has already made films at other universities and I haven't heard anything about that in the media. Technically these people are adults and they can do what they want ... no matter how stupid their actions are.
