Putting the "Greek Life bandaid" on this will keep these parties happening if not at ASU then at other campuses. People will just decrease posting photos on social media.

You're entitled to your opinion. Agree to disagree.

The idiots at ASU have "Greek Life problems". But if these parties were primarily about "Greek Life problems" then they could have thought of millions of other dumbass things to do in the name of "Greek Life problems."

Well the race thing is one of many problems stemming from a larger issue--that these kids come from mostly privileged backgrounds where this sort of thing is acceptable. In many cases, this goes beyond even Greek Life to being a cultural issue.. and not a new one by any stretch.

If this story was about a fraternity that was overtly sexist and misogynist towards women people would be mostly discussing the larger dynamic of sexism and misogyny. Sure, that fraternity may have "Greek Life problems" but people would be wondering why in the hell these fraternity members chose to express their "Greek Life problems" in this particular manner. It would be indicative of a larger culture of sexism and misogyny. It is unfortunate that people can grasp this when discussing other social dynamics except race and ethnicity.[/size]

There are overtly sexist party themes everywhere too and probably a lot more accepted. And wow this is being blown out of proportion. Boycotts? calls to expel students? Yikes. I actually find that sort of reaction more offensive than any of those photographs.
