KA Omicron chapter exonerated
KA National Office lifts suspension of UT at Austin chapter
(Lexington, VA.- February 14, 2003) - Officials at the Kappa Alpha Order National Administrative Office announced today they have completed an investigation of recent parties at Omicron Chapter at the University of Texas at Austin. According to an article in The Daily Texan, the university newspaper, some guests at the party may have been attired in racially insensitive shirts.
After meeting with members of the chapter and university officials, Kappa Alpha Order concluded that no laws or customs of the Order had been violated.
“The events held at the chapter house were not intended to be offensive,” said Larry S. Wiese, Executive Director. “If any mistake was made by the chapter, it was by not asking those guests who chose to wear possibly objectionable clothing to leave.”

A question to those who referred to this group as "a bunch of idiots", etc, etc, etc..........
Has your opinion changed? Or are they still guilty until proven innocent--and they'll never be innocent?
I reiterate: when accusations against GLOS for whatever reason, be it racial insensitivity, hazing, or any other bad conduct start flying around, it does more for Greek unity to withhold judgement until the facts are in.
