Bump this thread whenever another fraternity gets caught throwing a racist party

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.

Same Assholes Everywhere was the go to phrase of derision for SAE at my university.

At my school they were famous/infamous for allegedly having a parental income requirement of at least 6 figures for any prospective pledges. Their house was a huge stone mansion.

a parental bennies requirement as well?

All prospective pledges must file a prospectus and the appropriate disclosures with the securities and exchange commission

but that’s not the situation here, where the speech wouldn’t have been taken by any listener as a threat against him or her.

uh that's a weird conclusion to draw

So weird to see the backflips trying to paint OU as the bad guy in this situation.

well it's gross but totally predictable

Local theater fires employees who yell 'fire' during a show.

How dare these theater monsters infringe on free speech.

won't anybody think of the wites

I wish I had the patience to explain to all these idiots the difference between a supposed free speech violation and consequences resulting from exercising free speech, but I don't think it would matter anyway.

God bless video cameras.

some are seizing on the 'state funding' of the college as why they can't expel the kids tho I dunno that explanation is satisfying.

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

Those two expelled dudes are sad and sorry, y'all.

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?

I HATE frats and their stupid racist parties, but the chinbeard on the one chick is obviously sporting Kanye's goatee and the girls with the smears of makeup on their face were wearing a "gold digger" themed costume.

it appears we may have reached Frat Party Racism Degree Zero:

University of Oregon levels up to professors attending Halloween parties in blackface.

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.

really racists up the racist level for this one.

what kind of fucking party is this where ppl would get that purported reference?

i guess professor party but still

this is killing me:

On many Halloweens, on a campus somewhere in the United States, somebody decides to go to a party in blackface, provoking outrage.

Also I feel like this professor saw Bamboozled! the week before Halloween and was like "AHA THE PERFECT COSTUME IDEA"

really glad that I'm working from home today so I could really laugh at that comment

man her colleagues are PISSED

white privilege is basically being able to make $160,000 as a teacher sending students into the American legal system and not having to ever know blackface is bad

Pretty ignorant to use the use the metaphorical term "lynch mob," considering the context.

Outsider7732 minutes ago
Actually, I think it is pretty much on the mark. A bunch of self-righteous individuals who want to professionally destroy (kill) another person for having a black face.

uh

when u look at it like that

I didn't know why I kept going back to that article to stare at the picture until I realized: "Frank N Furter jheri curl"
