Sig Ep Out at Ole Miss
After hanging a noose around the neck of the statue of James Meredith (the first black student at Ole Miss) and draping an old Georgia flag (which included the Confederate flag), 3 freshman Sigma Phi Epsilon brothers have created a firestorm...

You know that phrase "you are always wearing your letters" (meaning your actions are reflected on the fraternity)?
That.
What a shame 3 brothers (and new ones, at that) had to ruin it for everyone.

This has nothing to do with wearing letters, this has to do with they need to do some time in jail for a hate crime.

I just wonder if these 3 morons have any clue of the enormous damage that they have done to their chapter, Sig Ep's reputation, and the reputation of Ole Miss. For this action, they will certainly be thrown out of Ole Miss. All of their fraternity brothers will suffer for what they did. I do hope that the Sig Ep chapter did not have anything to do with their racist actions. That remains to be seen.
It is rather ironic that in today's Daily Mississippian, there was an open letter to the University family from all of the IFC presidents. They collectively committed to immediately expel any fraternity member found to be involved. It was signed by all IFC presidents, including the Sig Ep president. And Sig Ep did exactly as promised.
Just to clarify what I understand, the Sig Ep chapter has been suspended indefinitely. They have not been closed by their national or thrown off campus by the University.

Sig Ep at Ole Miss
According to the AJC this morning, the three freshmen suspected of involvement in this are from Georgia.

The use of the old Georgia flag made me suspect as much.
Idiots.

Ole Miss Sig Ep
What tools and idiots. However I don't think Sig Ep should be puninshed unless a connection to the chapter can be established.

This is the way it is today when a few (3) fools harm a whole Fraternity and the Greek community!

Fraternity announcement: SigEp responds to desecration of James Meredith statue
The fraternity itself Sigma Phi Epsilon suspended the Ole Miss Chapter and is conducting an investigation. Ole Miss is only proceeding against the three men involved directly in the incident.

As with racially themed parties, I don't care about the GLO part of this. I only care about the culture that perpetuates this type of behavior. And, yes, there are cultures that perpetuate this type of behavior. The deterrents for such behaviors are weak enough to make people consider the benefits to quickly and even slightly outweigh the costs. If this was mostly about being young and dumb these idiots have a plethora of non-bigoted things to stupidly engage in.

Three young men of an apparently regrettable upbringing from Georgia. Don't know if they were denied admittance to a Georgia school or if they didn't bother to try. Somehow they thought they had found safe haven for their asinine belief system here in the Red Hills of Mississippi, but they were tragically wrong. Wrong for themselves and very wrong for Ole Miss.

Are you sure they are from Georgia? They are acting like they are from the Arizona legislature.
I'm with DrPhil. It's not about the GLO aspect for me. It's about the culture. Which is alive and well and thriving in Phoenix.
