Agreed. National organizations should support their local chapters. The national organization here not supporting the chapter in an action telling the university to go eff itself is unfortunate.

Wait, when did this become a "lefties" thing?

And Nationals should support the chapters if they agree with what the chapter did. If they disagree then they should punish them appropriately. HQ has every right to "sanction free speech."

It does sound like the University has a policy of events not having "improper" themes or some such. Whether or not "Cowboys and Indians" is an inappropriate theme or not will require the Judicial Board Review should the PHC choose to do so. (Based on the article).

Kevin, I feel you're exaggerating the legality of this by suggesting that it is blatently illegal when there is no binding precedent. It is in your opinion a violation of their Constitutional rights, this we get. In the real world, however, it is not legally a violation of their rights and the grey area will not be cleared up unless someone does take the University to court.

As far as I know, the University has not given the chapter any sanctions other than the social probation, which it is unclear is from HQ or the school. Gamma Phi Beta has stated in their press release that they will be working with the school to insure that the chapter upholds the values of Gamma Phi. I'm just guessing, but I would be surprised if that did not include some form of programming, perhaps via our PACE program.
