We were talking about this at supper last night. My daughter (13) knew nothing about it, but has very good friend in Oxford, so her ears perked up. Her question in response to hearing that three pledges were involved: "Was this one of those things that they make you do when you're joining a fraternity that you're not supposed to let anyone know a about? I forget what you call it." I imagine many folks assume the possible pledging/hazing connection. (And yes, the hazing conversation followed.)

The chapter has been suspended. I assume that's pending a determination that this was just three idiots and not pledging-related. In that sense, I think the GLO aspect and the culture aspect are related. Certainly, the main problem is a broader culture fosters or implicitly approves of this kind of behavior. But I think in the context of these guys pledging, it's fair to ask whether the fraternity was feeding that culture.

It would be interesting to know if the three dipshits knew each other prior to pledging.

If they were doing this as part of a pledge process, I would be interested in the culture that allows everyone involved to use a GLO as a cloak for their bigotry.

I think it's fair to ask what the fraternity is looking for in brothers that it managed to pledge three who think like this. Apparently they need better character judges.
