Ole Miss Sigma Chi behaving badly during Derby Days

Sounds like both groups benefit.. even if a few feelings got hurt. Maybe we can wait a minute or two for Sigma Chi to handle this internally before breaking out the pitchforks and torches?

It's a greater problem that just a few feelings getting hurt. It is not okay to behave this way. It is disrespectful and dehumanizing. This type of behavior contributes to rape culture and poisons the Greek system as a whole.

I'm sure the parents, children who are patients at the hospital, and the patients' parents were all wondering why the women would allow themselves to be subjected to this...and even pay for that privilege.

No, I'm not going to get my hopes up for Sigma Chi to handle this internally, especially when the apology I watched from their president didn't scratch below the surface and he explicitly stated that he thinks that saying this type of behavior contributes to rape culture is extreme.

Just my $0.02.
