The article ends in a discussion of the dialogue engendered by the incident, so 9 years later one would hope - and barring any other evidence to the contrary, believe, that the campus has made progress.

Whether or not you read "Pledged" is not the point - the point is that you still cite what "everybody knows". Bringing in random articles about racially insensitive actions by individual chapters is a little off-topic and a great deal desperate. Obviously you are far too invested in the idea that NPC membership selection simply must be racist. Why, I can't say, but it's a little sad. So I'm done - I think my posts speak to the issue at hand, and if you want to go off on some racially charged tangent I'd suggest starting a new thread, or bumping an old one.

Nothing new to see here, move along.

No. It isn't desperate and you know that. You and some others said I was only going on hearsay and speculation and instinct. I used that information to thow you otherwise.

This thread went off on a racial tangent some time ago, but once information starts being posted that shows examples of racial incidents, you are suddenly "done."

I can't believe I'm wading into this mess, but . . .

How can a thread entitled "Race & Sororities" go off on a racial tangent?

Ask SWTXBELLE. She said the thread is moving off into a racially charged tangent.

No, she suggested what she thought you might want to do if you "want to go off on some racially charged tangent." A racially charged tangent is different from a racial tangent, it seems to me.

But whatever . . . back to the dumbness that is this thread.

Well as you pointed out, the title of the thread would indicate that the thread would be about race.

I think the thread was already racially charged because of the original question.

Thank you, MC, for actually reading what I wrote. Sometimes I feel like I am banging my head against an internet wall.
