Another Intersection of Fratnernalism and Politics: Good? Bad?

Fenty lays out the crimson carpet

The Kappas are in DC this week and our mayor is a member. The link above is what I consider to be a nice article about an event they had.

HOWEVER..... it was paid for with taxpayer money.

The District has been reimbursed for $37,000 in taxpayer money used to throw a posh welcome reception Monday night for Mayor Adrian M. Fenty's fraternity, after the attorney general determined that it was "not a proper use of government funds."



Please check out both articles and weigh in. I have several comments, including the witty, but quite serious "If it had been the Alphas, the city wouldn't have cared and would have spent more" lol
