Why on earth would someone want to dress up as a slave?

It takes one stupid action to completely undermine all the good an entire greek system does.

Is it okay for a black student to dress up as an escaped slave?

Why would anyone, black or white, dress as a slave for Halloween? Just to get a reaction, or what?

Because slavery is scary??? Yeah, I don't get it either.

Why would a student at University of Kansas dress up in a Nazi uniform on his first day of his freshman year? (Well, in this case he didn't want to be in college and ended up getting in a fight and getting arrested and expelled, but I digress...)

Update on the PiKap who dressed up as a slave for Halloween at GMU--their chapter was suspended for one year. Not because of the action, but because the action took place at a party which gathered media attention while the chapter was on social probation.

OK, will someone who might be quick to blame this kind of thing on "media frenzy" please explain to me how bright it is for a chapter on probation to throw a party where something like this could happen -- and get caught at it?

We see this over and over again.

Probation should be a wakeup call for a chapter.

Obey the rules and the media will have no reason to notice you, unless you want them to.

Then, it's called Public Relations...not News.

Find me a black student who would do this unless they were acting, or taking part in a historical recreation, and I'll personally give you $100 (US, not Canadian).
