Anyways, I'm not surprised by this. It is UGA after all.

Who is debating whether black women would find it offensive? I am sure some did. I am sure a lot of people who are not black women find this offensive. That is what makes this incident so dumb- that is was a pointless public exhibition that served no purpose whatsoever.

But this is a free country and this was freedom of expression- even if that freedom was exercised in the poorest of taste.

The punishment for being offensive is that your reputation suffers in the public eye.

Yet now there are people on this thread who think Chi Phi should be kicked off campus even though, a) we don't have all the facts and, b) individuals on this forum- myself included- have offered some more insight into why this particular incident, given the facts presented, is not a clear cut case of wrongdoing by Chi Phi as a chapter or national organization.

But to top it off, you have now said "This is UGA after all" and you are making a definitive statement about a 30,000 member University based on the actions of 7 freshman who made a very bad decision.

This is the kind of thing that kills civil debate. I and others have tried to frame a discussion around this which gets to very important issues about Risk Management and how an adult should behave when representing himself and another group of people.

And the response from some has been to say basically,

1. White men
2. Fraternity
3. Southern University
4. Guilty
5. Kick a whole chapter of a fraternity off campus (and out of school too no doubt if some of you had your way)

How does that attitude to anything to better anybody's situation here? How is that a rational response to what really happened here?

Last time I looked this was GreekChat.com. How is the turn this thread has taken doing anything to forward forum members' understanding and handling of a situation that involves a fraternal organization?
