I'm not really suggesting any punishment such as yanking a lease or pulling a charter. I stated understood the predicament that KD HQ is in, and I'm not suggesting that they do something of the sort, at least right now. I'm just pointing out that many non-Greeks perceive that their continued presence and low-cost lease on campus property, in spite of a history of racism, is suggestive of favoritism. Other members of their own organization are publicly questioning why resources are diverted to a chapter who has behaved in such a manner, which I don't think is an unreasonable question.
In my opinion, it sounds like the University has gotten very cosy with organizations on these leases, and now it would be very difficult for them to back out, no matter what they do. Where do they draw the line? What does a chapter have to do to lose a lease that is assisted with tax-payer funds?
I actually believe that the vast majority of the active GLO sororities at Alabama would embrace integration, and obviously, many chapters already have. But, if this kind of behavior and bad attitude persists, then the narrative isn't done.
