The world needs to know who these punks are.

Ol Miss better kick them out of the university as well.

#1 because their daddy was in a fraternity, #2 because they are republicans, #3 because it is a better housing option than the dorms or sharing an apartment.

and learn not to do what these guys did! They violated the "balanced man" doctrine which this particular fraternity espouses. Fraternity chapters are not independent franchises and are directly answerable to the national head. Ergo the suspension of the Mississippi chapter.

Four years of belonging to a fraternity was a great learning experience for me.
It sounds like your experience was not so great and you are of course entitled to your opinion.

Although it may be a bit prejudiced on my part, my experience taught me that there is a reason that most frat guys are conservative Republicans. Same mind set, same bullshit when they get into the real world.

They were a minority but bullied their way into officers and leaders. I hated some of them. They just could be today's tea party House members!

Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

as I did watching John Belushi go thru that cafeteria food line.
Great scene!

Thanks.

01. No, my father was not in the fraternity because his university has no fraternities
02: No, I'm a Democrat and my chapter were mostly Democrats
03: I lived in my own apartment and not in the Fraternity House and paid for it by working.

Thanks for insulting me. I appreciate it. Maybe I should alert this post for being offensive and over the top.

Turned out to be a wonderful experience and one of the best things I ever did. It is hard to explain this to a non-Greek (as you obviously know).

came out as gay and introduced us to his boyfriend at the bar after Chapter Meeting. That showed me brotherhood is forever.

I will never regret one minute of my membership...I made life long friends and had experiences that I will never forget.

I've always felt, those that never had the experience, just don't understand.

When I came out (after college) all of my brothers (except one) were very accepting.

Recently, the President of the chapter when I pledged came out.


My chapter was very diverse - Hispanics, blacks, whites, Asians, Jewish, Native Americans were all brothers

and had a similar great learning experience. It's not for everybody, but a lot more people than do could benefit by the experience.

Not all Fraternities fit your stereotyping.


Were you not allowed to join one?



And what does your bigotry towards fraternities have to do with this thread?

Your reason #3 was a consideration for me, but you were way off on the first two.

Stereotypes are typically inaccurate, so no surprises there, I guess.

And anyway, who the hell packs up a state flag when they head off to college?
Hm, let's see, I got my clothes, my computer, stereo and loudest annoying music I own, half a can of Axe, sunglasses, porn... what am I forgetting... Oops, my state flag!

but they had at least three pigs in it.

they would have learned that Meredith (as a Republican who worked for Jesse Helms) is likely on their side of most issues.

wasn't the issue these men were concerned with, but rather, the fact he is black and his enrollment at the University led to the desegregation of the University, was and is the issue.
