Bent out of Shape Greeks

[collme83]

So i was finishing up "East of Eden" and if you've read it you'll see that John Steinbeck mentions the SAE's near the end of the book...here's the actual quote:

"The night started dully, but then sixteen members and two pledges from Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Stanford chapter, came in hilarious from a pledge hazing in San Juan. They were full of hourseplay.......The college boys shrieked and pounded each other in their amusement. And then they stole everything that wasn't nailed down."

So i thought it was totally interesting and posted it on their message board about how they were mentioned in the book. This guys gets ALL bent out of shape and sends me this big huge thing about SAE hazing policy and how it's taken very seriously and closed the thread out completely. I mean....yeah i KNOW their policy, but come on ...the book was published in 1952 and who says it's even true. I know that hazing is taken very seriously, but I mean...Millions of people have read this book, it's not like all of a sudden i released the information. Do you think i was out of line? b.c. i don't! haha
