That's IT! Metric only from now on!

Those SAE bastards! I will never use an SAE spec nut or bolt again!

Now where can I find metric oil viscosity grading?

Oh, that's not the Society of American Engineers? That's quite different, nevermind.

Has the same initials.

For those in a frat-centric universe, SAE can only mean Sigma Alpha Epsilon (I guess it has to be). They're involved in some sort of scandal that has cosmic proportions because it feeds a personal narrative, is topical, and is crucial for poo-slinging in some version of domestic politics.

Racist chant and being expelled from the campus.

Edited to add this. Beware there is a video and the text of the chant which is very disturbing.

University of Oklahoma’s chapter of the fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon is no more.

The school on Monday shut it down after members were caught chanting a racial slur and referencing lynching in a video that went viral.
