2 points about Baylor and Playboy:
1. People who go to Baylor make a promise to keep certain standards. If they won't or can't keep those standards, then they should not go. To go, and then purposely break those standards is an act of dishonor. Acts of dishonor are beneath the offical standards of all national fraternities and sororities with which I am familiar, including my own (TKE).
So the moral of the story -- If you want to pose naked for public titilation, go to ASU or USC, not Baylor.
2. As far as the Tekes cited above, all I can say is that it's obvious we have a double standard. A woman who poses nude for playboy is not considered a lady and expunged from her sorority and fraternity. A man who reads or views playboy is just considered a natural man. Of course he is into porn. He's a man. It's expected. It's expected by his brothers, and to be honest, it's expected by all of the sorority/fraternity women. Of course, the women shake their heads and talk about those "bad boys." Yet, they can't wait until the next party or mixer to associate with us.
In my view, a bunch of Tekes taking pictures with playboy (with clothes or not) violates Teke standards. I won't recite them here, you can go to
www.tke.org. I am sure the events at Baylor also violated their national standards. In theory, the moral standards for male fraternities are not different than for female ones. But, in practice, standards are a joke among male fraternities. None of us really believe or follow them.
What is surprising to me is not that we don't follow them (after all, most people will do whatever they are allowed to get away with), but that the women tolerate it. They can't get enough of us "bad boys." And to me, that makes them even more pathetic than we are. You have to get some credit for knowing who you are: "To thine own self be true." At least we admit we are pigs.
