The ban from the Fraternity includes any member who was present and did not object. The University will not assist any member in finding alternative housing.

and openness that wasn't there 20-30 years ago, 24/7. The left should have curbed or countered this movement decades ago. The students are a disgrace; good for the college Pres. and officials who ousted them.

8. I was a TKE for a semester, and I believe I know exactly how this happened.

Put thirty young men in a male-bonding situation, and usually the worst possible instincts will rule the herd. It's dangerous, kinda sick, and often looking for a victim.

I had to learn the lesson the hard way. And I did. And I left.

At the core of it all, however, is primal tribalism -- same thing that rules the GOP.

And it needs to GO.

Glad this video surfaced, and I'm glad the university acted quickly.

MSNBC has apparently muzzled their evening hosts. The shows this evening were, for the most part, spent trashing Hillary, talking about the new Apple watch, and random stories I have already forgotten
Nothing on the Oklahoma Frat Bigots, nothing on Sen. Cottons bull shit letter.
Sad.
But wait - it seems Lawrence O'Donnell did not get the memo. We shall see how long he lasts !
