Kevin, I agree.

Is this particular incident about race? Yes. Are the overall problems with Greek life at ASU/in Arizona about race? No.

I believe that's the basic point you were getting at, correct?

Now I know that is what he was attempting to convey. Thanks for interpreting.

(I don't care about Greek Life at ASU/in Arizona and I never said their overall Greek Life problems are about race.)

I thought Kevin was saying that the stupidity of throwing a racially themed party was a result of a larger issue with the culture of Greek Life/problems with Greek Life. I'm still amused that this thread became about ASU problems with Greek Life instead of a discussion of why racially themed parties keep happening. Even the greatest Greek system in the world can have members who think a racially themed party is a good idea.

If you agree that this particular issue of racially themed parties is about race then, going back to the point of my original posts, what in the shit are you all talking about? LOL. Why are you all pretending as though the larger issue that deserves more discussion is "problems with Greek Life"? That Band-aid is worn and needs to be changed.
