This just enrages me to no end. The audacity that shows both their privilege and that this was just the tip of the iceberg. Can you imagine, if they were okay singing this out loud in celebration what they said to each other in even more private settings.
This were not kids making a stupid decision, these were men being horrible and broadcasting a really really nasty culture of that fraternities life and potentially greek life on that campus. There were sorority women on that bus potentially singing along or thinking it was funny. CLosing SAE won't change anything, there needs to be serious soul searching in that panhellenic about how a chapter could feel like they could do that and do that in the presence of other members of the community.
Also, our national orgs may need to start to do some serous soul searching if they want to survive this day and age of social media and decreased tolerance for behavior that has too long been written off as that of stupid college kids.
I'm sick of the PR email of a chapter removed and recitation of values. We need to accept that on many universities are greek orgs have the potential to be a petri dish of entitlement, privilege and racism and we need to be aggressive in heading that off.
