Pelz noted that the party was started a few years earlier "because one of best friends is black or African American, whichever you deem politically correct, to be his day not to dishonor him."

"No disrespect intended -- that one guy was doing more of an homage to sharecropping, as part of the rich tapestry of African-American history. Also that kid with the t-shirt just really does love chicken."

The funny part is that all the ones going for gang looks just come off like everyday lame frat guys.

The president of the school's Lambda Chi Alpha chapter, Deban Hanson, said the Jan. 15 party was at the home of one of its members, but in a Dallas Morning News Report Hanson denied the fraternity itself had anything to do with it. He revealed that students from at least seven other campus groups also attended the party.

Keystone Light?

mucho (mucho), Friday, 26 January 2007 01:36 (seventeen years ago) link

re keystone beer:

"It is second chance beer of the Coors Brewing Company. Because Keystone comes from the second-chance portion of a batch of Coors, it has a lower price, and as a result is very popular among college students or those on a limited budget. According to the Coors Brewery Tour Guides, Keystone is not a second chance beer, but actually has its own recipe and brewing standards. The price of Keystone is low because Coors does not actively advertise for the Keystone brands."

love that industry spin!!

I've heard that one (infamously racist) frat at my school once put cotton out on their lawn and paid black kids who walked by to pick some and bring it to them on their porch.

Hurting, note the old-school striped overalls -- he was going for some kind of sharecropper chic, but then evidently his arms got cold, so he threw on his little North Face-y fleece thing.

From the UCONN law school party link:

Yup. That's the important lesson there.

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

“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."
