Baylor boots frat over Playboy shoot

The name is important. Most girls aren't pretty enough or have a nice enough body to be in playboy.

*shrug*

I would hate to waste my time and go to Texas checking out some random girls from some random local sorority and find them all to be fugly. Or chunky.

Yuck! *gag me*

Or worse, some sanctimonious born again Christian types that wouldn't know an original thought if it bit them on the ass. How boringly predictable. *yawn*

I have nothing against people like that mind you. Where would us wolves be without sheep?

AH once again the SMALL MINDS OF THE SMALL MINDED ACCEDAMIA!

I hope that the National of SPE fight this with all of the power they have!

If the school can do this to one Fraternity, they can find a way to do it to any Greek Org!

Screw Baylor's simple minded People!

They should not even be in the Big 12!

Angie,

I don't know if you're right, but I suspect that there could be some actual First Amendment issues if an arm of the state government (a state supported university) tried to take this kind of action. As GreekLawGirl (I think) pointed out, the First Amendment concerns actions taken by government against a person or entity.

In the case of Baylor, being a church supported institution, the dynamics are somewhat different.

On the other hand, taking into account the "You don't tug on Superman's cape" doctrine (Jim Croce -- "You Don't Mess Around With Jim"), why would you test the will of the administration in an obviously religious setting?

Ahem. Well, this is my third year at Baylor and my second in the greek system there, so I guess I'll comment.

First of all, these people should have known better. If we were at a state school, fine. But Baylor IS a Baptist university, and people know that when they come here. Baylor is a school that doesn't allow co-ed visitation past 6 pm. Baylor is a school that has chapel and religion requirements for graduation. Baylor is a school that only approved school sponsored dances/parties about 3 years ago. So what would make somebody think they could pose in Playboy and nothing would be said about it???

Now, if you wanna pose in Playboy, DO YOU. I'm not being judgemental or anything like that, but what I am saying is that when you chose to go to a private school.. a RELIGIOUS PRIVATE SCHOOL, no less... you gotta be prepared for the ramifications that will follow your actions.

What is the point in bashing the school, however? Private school isn't for everybody, but does that mean you have to make uninformed and assumptive statements about it? The bottom line is that while the situation may seem the result of poor judgement on the part of Baylor's "academian jerks"

to YOU, these guys knew the possible outcome of their actions. Simple as that.

I'm not quite sure if you know this or not... But most FRATERNITIES prefer you call us fraternity and not frat.

A fraternity was suspended from Baylor University for a year after a picture of some members -- fully clothed -- appeared in Playboy magazine.

About 50 men and four women, all students at the time, posed on a sand volleyball court, some wearing Sigma Phi Epsilon T-shirts and others waving Baylor pennants.

A student who has since graduated posed nude for another photo and used an alias. The pictures are in the October issue featuring the Big 12 conference.

Officials at Baptist-affiliated Baylor called it a salacious publication and said it runs contrary to the school's ideals. In the past, Baylor administrators have threatened to expel any student who poses for the magazine.

Larry Brumley, a university spokesman, said discipline for the students appearing in the October issue could vary. He declined to elaborate, citing federal student privacy laws.

Elizabeth Norris, a "Playboy" spokeswoman, said some fraternity members called the magazine about a month ago and asked editors not to run the picture.

Sigma Phi Epsilon members at Baylor declined to comment.

According to the CNN article, "The pictures are in the October issue featuring the Big 12 conference."

Does anyone know who the girl was that posed nude that is from Baylor and what sorority she is in? The article that I read in the paper said that she has graduated, but since they seem to be interested in fraternities posing, I guess they got a sorority girl to do it too. Did any of the other schools do anything to members that are in that article? There are eleven other schools involved, I think. The issue hasn't even come out yet has it?
