I have no problem with frats wanting to party how they want or where they want, but I do have a problem when they use a certain culture or race as a joke, and that was the problem. That is why the frats had to go through sensitivity training. One constant trait of all GLO's is that we set ourselves appart because we try to attain the higher moral character set by our Founders. We (GLO's) are a group of people who were selected for membership because of positive traits and good grades. The behaivor of these frats clearly go against what their Founders had in mind.
I think this is why Greeks get in trouble so easliy. If we are above the fray, then our actions should show that. If the only thing non-greeks see is XYZ frat parties and poke fun of others, then why join. You don't need to pay dues to some group to act like a fool with your friends, you can do that for free.

Well said.
The problem is that when you get a highly cohesive group together with a lot of common backgrounds you end up doing things that you would have never done as individuals. Bad things, good things, whatever. The reason? We get so wrapped up in maintaining unanimity that we overlook our good judgement just to preserve the group's spirit.
We just need to be aware of the danger of this and we'll get in lots less trouble.
