SAE's national president has a bit of a history of knee-jerk reactions. The fact that the charter was yanked within hours of the video being posted has everything to do with that. The OU chapter has a right to appeal to the Fraternity Convention, which ironically happens this summer in the national president's home town. Having said that, from the social media posts I saw, there were plenty of actives and alumni who would be only too happy to line up for a chance to put foot to ass over at OU. The conduct on that video and that the chant was clearly an established 'thing' for that chapter are diametrically opposed to what our Fraternity stands for. Anyone who was chanting, laughing along, or otherwise supportive of that behavior should absolutely be expelled.
Whatever local victory the undergrads (and possibly their alumni) manage to get, if any at all, it will be moot unless the Convention can be convinced to restore their charter. In my opinion, without the university's support, their charter will never again see the light of day.
