When Loyalty and Ignorance Clash

[Cain]

I have a situation that is sure to keep the Kappa Korner hot for a minute. I haven't posted in quite some time, but I need the opinions of not only the NUPES, but my fellow Greek counterparts.

While using different names and place, here is how the story goes. This brother who will be called "K" has always had a history of conflicts. Even before he pledged, he was known as a "a!*hole". So once he crossed, this was just amplified to another degree. "K" is involved with this female,"P". "P" is just an around the way girl, and not one to settle down with. She is mentally- unstable, and she has dealings with the basket ball team. "K" has said some pretty harsh things about this same Basketball team, for no apparent reason, because again he is an "a$%hole". Now there is beef between the frat, and the basketball team. No personal problems, just the fact that they don't like him, so we are automatically drawn in the confusion, but C'est la vie.

We throw a party where we live at, and we pack the house out. One of the Basketball team members is dancing with "P", and "K" pulls the girl away, 3 TIMES, just to be spiteful. Naturally the B-Ball player says some words to "K" and a mini-scrape breaks out. The bruhs seperate it. I say that Personal beef is just that, PERSONAL. But You won't disrespect my house, and I won't let u jump my brother. They understand, and the party continues. 30 mins later, "K" walks out of the room we had him in, and punches the first B-Ball member he sees. A brawl insues, which leaves "K", on the ground, all alone. Some of the brothers, where in a position to help, but others were not,(like myself). "K" is angry with his LB's and chapter bruhs, because he feels, like nothing was done to help him. So my question to the board is this. What do you do when a brother gets into an altercation, that by all accounts he brought on himself? It seems like a catch 22, were either way it's negative outcomes. Sorry for the long type, but the background story was required. Let me know something

Sorry for the double post. I don't know how to delete them.

try the edit button. There's a place where you can delete your posts... though I don't know if this works if the post is the thread starter.

Knowing how K is, why did you all let him in the chapter? Was he qualified in every other area except for being a hotheaded person?

[Cain]

Other than his questionable attitude, he is more than qualified. Smart guy, cool once you know him, it's just that his mouth get's him into unessecary conflicts.

I will help my sorors in anyway I can, but right is right and wrong is wrong…same rule goes for my kids and family…
So many people end up dead and hurt every year because of foolishness…I know that’s your frat but all of his battles are not your battles…if wants to deal with a girl that treats him like an option then that’s on him but someone needs to talk to him about his actions, It’s almost like he continues to do things with the thought that everyone is going to help him fight…let that man know aint nobody on that and he needs to chill

My response is what is best for the greater good, i.e., Kappa as a whole. Gettin into a fight for a brother who unnecessarily brought it upon himself that could have led to arrest and assault charges is not a good look for the frat.
