In addition to how ugly, hateful and just plain ignorant acts like these are....are these folks just plain stupid for thinking they can do something like this without facing serious consequences.

I'm fairly certain the two officers will be fired quickly and these frat boys will be expelled and face repercussions for a good while.

Sounds like a peaceful protest to me.

When will they start doing the same to leftist who behave in a similar manner??

OH that's right, it's only "hate" when the other side does it.....it's "Progress" when the left shows up and "mostly peacefully protests".

This is going to get much much worse, and the left has no one to blame but themselves.

let's see if anything really happens here. all it does is prove that no matter what, no matter how woke people are supposed to be, straight people still hate fags. which us fags already knew.

Former frat houses being turned into diversity houses has been happening since the mid - late 90s.

Former frat house members terrorising the new residents has been happening since the mid - late 90s.

I hope all these hateful assholes get what's coming to them. But this isn't new.

I'm am not going to defend any terrorizing of any campus groups. That's not appropriate behavior in any way whatsoever.

That said, the targeting of Greek Life and other social organizations that's been going on for the past 30 years or so at colleges and universities has been nothing but deplorable as well. It started in the name of "combatting underage drinking" which of course, everyone except for "underage drinkers" supported. But it really wasn't that. It was more designed to target off-campus properties to take over and convert into other uses. Because if it REALLY was to target "large parties" and such, EVERY SINGLE FRAT HOUSE AND SORORITY HOUSE would have been confiscated within five years. That didn't happen.

The Greek organizations that had deep pockets were never attacked, while less affluent chapters were kicked off campuses for minor technical rules violations. I saw it live at my school in the EARLY 90's. The larger organizations thought they could buy their way to being left alone. That only works for so long, when schools are bound and determined to confiscate as much real estate as they can to turn into specialized uses for "diversity".

Meanwhile, the traditional college experience has transformed into this giant woke experiment.

Instead of young adults ready to hit the professional workforce, college graduates are now bigger babies than when they first went to kindergarten.

You can always tell when someone is out of touch and particularly out of touch with young people's current state of mind and their need to work.

Do you think it's young people not going back to work after COVID and stimulus payments?

If kids were babies coming out of college we wouldn't have had the highest election turnout in US history in 2020.

Yes. (And limit liability.)

And that's fine, because fraternity members made it easy for schools to take advantage. They engaged in shitty behavior all the time, for decades. Their members often had the same mentality as any gang member in South Central: they gleamed their strength from each other, and frequently used it for bad purpose. Just because some wore ascots doesn't mean their brains had special wiring different from anyone else's.

Killing off frats was always a matter of when, not if. Some schools lost a big portion of their social networking in the process - that is true. Oh well. The Greek system never got its shit together, and now it's mostly gone. Notice that not many are mourning, especially not young people. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In some cases, you are 100% correct. There are and were frat members who were basically wealthy snobs who believed they could get away with anything. Though, the whole system cannot be condemned because of a few bad actors who should probably be in prison.

I was not Greek, although I would have been if not for a situation where one less popular and wealthy frat was blamed for the crimes of another wealthy, snobby frat that was completely reckless. I played intramural hockey with these guys. Some of the guys were kicked out of school for something others did.

My sister went Greek and she has friends for life. My uncle was in a frat at an Ivy League school. He didn't graduate from there, but again, friends for life from all over the country. The social aspect of that helped them in many ways after college.

Kids today do not go to college for all the same reasons as people my age did. Sure, everyone wants a degree, but when I was in school, taking advantage of the social aspect of thousands of people your age in a small setting was key. It definitely makes a kid grow into an adult. These days, kids would rather keep their noses buried in their phones rather than interact with other people their age, unless it is a "safe" situation where everyone has the same opinions and worldview.

Being exposed to differing opinions and ideas are essential to a well-rounded college experience. These days, it seems like "diversity" is being pushed over all else, instead of realizing people are all diverse and allowing natural interactions to discover this.

A bunch of left wing commies could burn the place down with impunity.

They really have nothing to.offer here or to the country....like a tic.

Ah, so I can add Bucknell University to the long list of topics about which you know nothing.

Let's be honest: it wasn't "a few". Many students who were a part of the fraternal system exhibited bad behavior - in varying degrees, on pretty much every campus. Not to say there weren't also plenty of examples of Greek life doing well for school & community, but the bad eggs could be found everywhere. They made themselves a target. Exclusive clubs often do that to people. (And can attract a certain type of person.)

It didn't help that, in most cases, Greek campus organizations thought they should be - and would be - untouchable. Once schools demanded things like them going co-ed, the most common response they gave back was akin to, "Um, no. We'll be around forever, just as we are today, thankyouverymuch." They severely overestimated their clout and overplayed their hands. It was fun to watch their hubris do them in...very Roman.

That's not true for the vast majority of students. Ask them, and they'll tell you.

Agreed - which can be accomplished without fraternities. Lest we forget, frats weren't exactly known to be havens for diversity of thought. Quite the opposite.

wow

now walking the streets next to FAGS is a crime!


had to endure "this violation of the space that is so critically important to them as a community."
