We didn't hang that flag, say fraternity/Greenville, NC

It's all about context.

I agree with you. But, when people come on GC and ask 'What's the big deal about your greek letters. They are just letters and many of you are not of actual Greek heritage.'

Then, we as greeks come back and say that our letters have meaning to us. We (greeks) know the context of our letters.

So, while the Confederate flag in of itself is just a flag, it's what people have decided to use the flag to represent. People attack the flag as a way of attacking what it stands for.
