Ummmm, removing the pictures doesn't negate the fact that it happened.

Those silly frat boys, but then fraters will be fraters.

Yeah, that was kind of my point.

But see my join date? I've only been here for one year's worth.

You'd think at some point they'd stop having the parties...

I was talking about it being a yearly thing, in general. Not a GC thing.

I see white kids dressed like this in Atlanta all the time. However, unlike these people, they don't realize how stupid they look.

Send a message via AIM to squirrely girl
i just don't get where people get the ideas for these parties - a party with this theme doesn't even make sense to me

Oh gawd. I'm a Tarleton Alum...my husband is an alum of that LXA chapter. I don't even know what to say. I see the point that it was a private party, but to put it on the WWW was clearly an invitation to the world to see and criticize. Knowing the history of that chapter, and knowing they are one of the only GLOs on that campus that have African American alumni, I feel confident in saying this was definitely not a chapter sanctioned activity. Fat lot of good that does, though.

I believe he means that he sees white kids trying to dress like black rappers and street thugs all of the time.

I do to. It is ridiculous.

It was inexcusable and even though kids today do ethnic cross over dressing, something like this is stupid for semi adult college kids.

But, I still wonder if it was a Fraternity function as not sponsered and attended by members of other GLOs?

I will tell you, that LXA IHQ takes a dim view on this sort of thing.
