An unrecognized local fraternity at California State U – Chico, Tau Gamma Theta, has got the school back in the news. This time it’s a party with strippers, and a difference of opinion about whether oral sex was occurring. The police say it was. The business that supplied the strippers, and the fraternity, say it wasn’t. The investigation is going on.

My favorite excerpt
Earlier this semester, Tau Gamma Theta wrote a letter to university President Paul Zingg, telling him the fraternity would ignore his list of recommendations for Greeks citing Christian core ideals.
The fraternity was later suspended from university recognition, so they were able to hold recruitment parties.
Pledges were present for the strip show, Angel-Gilliard said.
However, Angel-Gilliard said the event was just a recruitment party with two strippers, and no one was breaking the law.
I ‘ve been mulling over what I remember from Sunday School, reading, and sermons over the years, and I honestly can’t remember learning anything about strippers being part of “Christian core ideals.” There was the dance before Herod that got John the Baptist’s head on a platter, but that really can’t be considered an example of an “ideal,” plus it isn’t explicitly said that stripping happened. Maybe some GCers who have taken Bible-as-literature or theology courses could help me out?
