I think the point is that someone wanted to know what the best houses at Kansas are. I understand that a colony offers something to a certain kind of person, but we all agree that Sigma Nu at Kansas is clearly not currently one of the top houses there. So it was not a correct answer to the question to suggest that it is, and I see no reason why people should be vilified for pointing that out.

Answering the question was fine, differing opinions were fine, debating with the over-zealous alum was fine. But the last page or so was rapidly turning from simply "pointing that out" into a frat-pounding that the colony doesn't need nor did it bring it upon itself.

I didn't read that conversation as it panned out, but looking back it looks like two jokes about the overzealous e-recruiter prompted a lot of defending that I don't think the colony particularly deserved either, but really who cares.
And if "frat-pounding" has the same meaning as the (joke) term "frat slam", I think you may be using it incorrectly.

I kind of made it up (I thought), so I don't know what "frat slam" is (left my fratspeak to English dictionary at home, dang!), but it doesn't sound good. I probably didn't mean that, whatever it is (and I don't need a definition, that's ok).

fratslamming fratmattresses.
And by the way, that sounds really gay.
