That's cool. 
Now, can somebody post something stupid so I can continue to laugh at it? Thanks.

Perhaps, and thanks.
But I'm still trying to figure this out. You say of drinking: "That's an individual thing I believe. If they get caught and none of us are involved, then thats on them." Why isn't the same true here if it turns out that the pledges did this on their own, without chapter involvement or encouragement?
As an aside, it appears from reading a number of articles in UGA's The Red and Black that the chapter was suspended not because of the actions of the pledges per se, but because the University is investigating whether the pledges did what they did as a result of hazing. In other words, the investigation seems to be focused on possible hazing rather than on the incredibly stupid (at best) act itself.

The same is true. It's unfortunate that they are suspended currently, however.
Hazing, hazing, hazing. When will folks learn. You can make potential members earn their letter through a THROROUGH MIP rather than hazing.

Your opinion is rather idiotic.

So, long story short:
1. Chi Phi is under investigation and yada yada yada.
2. Insert some confusion as to how we can extend a convo on naked black women to a response to a (gendered) stereotype on feminists. Different manifestation of the same general topic.
The End.

Yeah, when I said backwoods and redneck, I was referring to what uneducated views you probably had regarding the institution. UGA is pretty good school, and its far from backwoods. Athens is a pretty diverse town as well. I'd love to know what made you form your own opinion, given that you've visited here so many times.

What does the ethnic make up of the county/town have anything to do with the University. Athens does not equal UGA.
for example:
my hometown is probably 15% black, however one of the colleges in my hometown is over 30%. In fact, it has one of the largest step shows in the South.

Main point, UGA is just about as diverse (ethnically and otherwise) as Athens is. No college or university exists outside of its surroundings, unless it intentionally has greater representations of certain groups, although I could not find UGA's demographic breakdown on its website. The photos on UGA's website are probably indicative of the level of ethnic diversity there. *smile*
Either way, I have friends in doctoral programs there and they aren't too impressed with UGA's or Athens' ethnic and income diversity. However, Atlanta has a similar issue with diversity but the difference is that ATL has 300,000 more people and blacks outnumber other races and ethnicities. I happen to like UGA and think this Chi Phi story shouldn't reflect poorly on the University.

Just pointing out that feminism as a major political movement is no longer relevant or necessary because the original goals have been largely achieved.
It does not mean the concept has lost all meaning or value, but it does mean that those who remain in a very militant mode have lost touch with mainstream society.
(in my opinion, that is.)
