Sigma Phi Epsilon is closed at the University of Mississippi after three members were expelled on suspicion of tying a noose around a statue of a civil rights icon, who was the institution's first black student


quote:

“The decision is not a result of any individual incident, but a response to newly discovered, ongoing behavior that includes incidents of hazing, underage drinking, alcohol abuse, and failure to comply with the university and fraternity’s codes of conduct,” the fraternity said in a statement Thursday.


quote:

In February, a person or persons placed a noose around the campus statue and left behind a Confederate flag.

You have to be pretty damn ignorant to get your fraternity chapter shut down though. Especially on a campus that has been frat friendly.

frick. It just came up on Time. I know that the incident is old, it is the fact that the fraternity is now shut down, is new.

Normally I would disagree with you, but this doesn't help their case.

Why should the whole frat get ousted?
It was three dumb racist freshman.
And they weren't even from Mississippi.
Those kids were from Georgia.

And the fact that OM shut down the fraternity proves it, right?

It's like Tom Cruise claiming he isn't gay.

OK, that was funny.

The context of that comment was stupid.

Ole Miss isn't THAT frat friendly. Yes, it's engrained in the culture. It still acts as a call back to the old days. Too much of a call back, to the old image the University wants to move away from. A noose around the neck of the Meridith statue is exactly what they want to get away from...and thus a harsh punishment for the actions of a few.

They pull the noose, you pull the charter. That's the Oxford way.

I'm just saying you have to do some pretty dumb shite to get your frat suspended with what most get away with (not just at Ole Miss). And I could be wrong but I was pretty sure they had another issue not too long ago involving some drunk broad that got them in trouble. Or was that another house?

There were some TKEs up here at UofL that got the fraternity suspended for a year for having a couple white members wear blackface and a black member dress like a KKK member at an off-campus Halloween party. And they like to tell you they're the bastion of racial integration in Kentucky. So it goes on everywhere.

Don't kill a pledge, don't drug girls to rape them, and don't be racist.

It's troubling how many end up not following these basic rules. Then again, 18-22 year old guys are certainly not known for their good judgement.

That would get a frat kicked off at Ole Miss. They're just sensitive (for good reason) about anything racist.

Just a correction, the national organization of Sig Ep shut down the chapter. Ole Miss did not.

Carry on.

Ole Miss is stupid for even letting that get out in the media. They could have easily let it slide under the rug... But they're dumb as shite and once again "they showed the nation their racial relation".
If you don't want to be known as a racist school. Why would they let that out? That's all on the OM administration, and the three freshman retards from Georgia.
