The best part of these stories is going to the student newspaper's coverage where lots of future frat-party-lawyers give some truly brilliant arguments. I think they've really opened my eyes to my OWN hypocrisy!

Carrying on their proud legacy:
The fraternity had fewer than 400 members when the Civil War began. Of those, 369 went to war for the Confederate States and seven for the Union Army. Seventy-four members of the fraternity lost their lives in the war.
While many Sigma Alpha Epsilon Chapters today claim that Noble Leslie DeVotie was the first person to die in the Civil War, this is in dispute. DeVotie lost his footing while boarding a steamer at Fort Morgan, Alabama, on February 12, 1861, hit his head and drowned. His body washed ashore three days later. Because Alabama had already seceded from the Union in January of that year, DeVotie is viewed by many to be the first casualty of the war. He is recognized as such by the state of Alabama.

What I'd be interested in knowing is how long that chant has been floating around the fraternity anyway. It hardly seems like something these guys just spontaneously made up. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into a frat that is very proud of reminding folks (especially on their website) that they were founded in the "deep South".
Some nuggets from the "About" section:
Of all existing national social fraternities today, Sigma Alpha Epsilon is the only national fraternity founded in the antebellum South.
The fraternity had fewer than 400 members when the Civil War began. Of those, 369 went to war for the Confederate States and seven for the Union Army

Funniest bit:
“At this point, all I can do is be thoughtful and prayerful about my next steps, but I am also concerned about the fraternity friends still on campus. Apparently, they are feeling unsafe and some have been harassed by others."
Hmm...ya think?

It's racist as it is, but
A fellow UO professor, who declined to be identified, said the offending professor meant her costume to depict “Black Man in a White Coat: A Doctor’s Reflections on Race and Medicine,” a recent autobiography by Dr. Damon Tweedy that recounts the racism he encountered in medical school.
