My solution wouldn't involve alums fussing at people on a message board, especially in a dismissive way that suggested any person using the terms was likely to commit domestic violence, which is kind of how this whole issue popped up in the last 24 hours.
Ideally, I think I would encourage individual undergraduate members to avoid using the term and to ask their friends to avoid doing so as well.
But honestly I don't think I will do anything, which is about as much as I think other people from Greek Chat do about their issues in real life. What is it that you plan to do?
It's an offensive term. It's more offensive than "bow head" and "barbie" and probably about as offensive as "frat mattress" which I think we've heard before. But I'm not sure the way to get people to think differently about using a term is to give them high handed lectures.
