I know that my opinion on this will be in the minority. The actions of the LXA were not correct but you handle those actions internally.

Just to clarify: The president of the LXA chapter didn't turn the brother in to the police. All he did was inform the president of the sorority that one of her sisters was unwittingly videotaped. The sister who was videotaped is the person who filed a complaint with the police. Apparently, the girl was more concerned with Bice's actions than her own personal embarrassment. I think it takes a strong person to come forward in a case like this, and I respect her for it.
Bice has no one to blame for his actions but himself. I agree that being labeled as a felon for the rest of his life is pretty harsh, but the law is black and white. It's not the girl's fault, the sorority president's fault, OR the fraternity president's fault. Bice knew that what he was doing was wrong -- he just didn't realize how wrong. Hindsight is 20/20.
I personally am very impressed by the LXA president's action. He showed his chapter and the rest of the Greeks on campus that he won't tolerate such behavior from his brothers. If more Greeks would stand up and do that on a regular basis, then we might not have such a bad public image.
