It's sad to see that some chapters are still doing this type of social event. Unfortunately, this article (and the website it seems to cite) give wrong information.

Mekong Delta parties are not traditions of the national fraternity. The national organization has been trying to stop chapters from throwing this party for as long as I've been a Delt and I'm sure they were telling chapters to stop a long time before I was around.

The quote that the party is a tribute to veterans would be laughable if it were not tragic and unfortunate. It sounds like an excuse for this chapter to hold such an event. And from experience, it tends to continue for lack of information and pushing from certain alumni who don't have respect for the events that took place.

I can tell you that Delt chapters are told every year to not hold this event, along with several others that have been scrutinized over the years (Delts in your mouth, not in your hand) (Get your heart on).

I'm not sure what the punishment is for throwing these types of parties but the national office should know about it so that they can deal with these chapters who offend so many people, but also disgrace my great fraternity.
