Acacia at Ohio U Sings Offensive Song, Gets Suspended

[Kevin]

A group of men linked to the Acacia fraternity at Ohio University was filmed shouting sexually explicit requests outside of a sorority house.

The university is investigating the incident, an OU spokeswoman told The Huffington Post. The chapter is currently on an interim suspension of all "organizational activity," meaning they cannot participate in recruitment, or hold any events or meetings.

Olivia Hitchcock, a staff member of OU student newspaper The Post, first tweeted a video of the incident on Wednesday night. The video shows men standing on the front porch of the Alpha Delta Pi house and shouting "send nudes" repeatedly.

The article then goes on to explain to its dear readers that Acacia has been accused by the student government of having a propensity to drug and rape female students.

Several issues here:

1) The First Amendment-- Someone lay out for me how the Administration has placed Acacia on suspension, meaning they are no longer allowed to meet, pending an investigation without violating Acacia's free speech rights? If the Courts have held that you can stand outside of a dead soldier's funeral and let them know that "God hates fags," how in the hell does a school administrator reasonably believe she can punish an organization for singing a song?

2) Doesn't investigating and suspending Acacia for this conduct have the effect of disempowering ADPi from acting collectively or as individuals in such a way that they are in control of their response? They have been collectively labeled as victims here when I doubt many of them would tell you they were victimized. The reporter was a not member of ADPi, but some cub reporter clandestinely taking video of a fraternity as it made its serenade rounds.

3) Does anyone have a problem with the school's student government apparently being allowed to use school money to publish a pamphlet labeling a fraternity as known rapists? How is that not the worst thing happening to anyone int his article? How is no one being sued for libel?
