They did not parade around
Last Halloween. a GLO at Auburn had a Halloween party, and people dressed up in various ways.
A couple of guys wore black face and one had the Greek ltrs. of a black fraternity written on an old shirt he was wearing.
There was a professional photog at the party, taking pictures and hoping to sell them to the members in the pictures. Some of these photogs send proofs, which are passed around and members can order.
This photog posted his on a website, so the members could order prints.
Someone spotted the offending pictures, and campus hell broke loose.
Then similar pictures from a second fraternity were found, and more hell was unleased.
The chapters involved were Beta Theta Pi and Delta Sigma Phi.
The campus dean suspended the chapters, and I think the nationals did too.
One of the chapters hired a lawyer, and established their American rights, and the univ. reduced their penalty to a slap on the hand.
The situation, and the pictures, made all of the national newspapers and TV shows, but in the end PC was given the boot and our constitutional right to dress up was preserved.
