Firstly, the Facebook advertisement of the party was one of the most horrific and prejudiced statements I have ever read. I was appalled that the statements were made and then defended by a member of the organization I spent 3 years building. The brother who posted the announcement did so without authorization from the school, the national fraternity, or the executive board of the Kappa Upsilon chapter. He also re-posted it after it was taken down, again without any form of authorization.
Let me state, this brother has been stripped of his status as a Sigma Chi, before any of the university’s proceedings even began. Sigma Chi has fought long and hard to be known as a diverse fraternity with brothers from all walks of life. Hatred is not a value we share among our brothers, and intolerance has no place within our ranks. His repeated offensive and un-apologetic behavior forced Sigma Chi’s hand and while an extreme punishment, we felt it was necessary due to the gravity of the incident.
Quote taken from earlier passage.
From my understanding, when it was first posted, the chapter told the (now ex) member to take it down. How do you know that when he put it up again, the chapter knew and did nothing? Should they have checked before the party - probably. Did they check, see it, and do nothing? That has not been stated. The member who put it up has been stripped of his membership. Should the others be punished because of one person? Particularly if they did not know of his repeat posting?
