The ZBT house should be shut down. Not one of those frickers stood up to their fellow scumbags to put a stop to the behavior.

Make an example of them.

What is the word on campus? Do they actually think this story is 100% legit as told? Or is there another side to it?

I have a hard time believing any normal SEC fraternity would taunt disabled military vets and their wives. shite would have been absolutely unheard when I was in school 8-10 years ago.

The fact that it is a fraternity I've never heard of at UF makes it somewhat more plausible, but I'm going to guess this is something similar to the "Auburn players attack female veteran with PTSD" story.

It is the trashiest, most redneck, back woods school in the SEC, and maybe in the entire South East.

To be honest the fraternity part makes the veteran and flag taunting less likely IMHO. From my experience the Frat guys were the most conservative 'merica lovers on campus. I see them beating peoples arse who would mess with vets/the flag

On behalf of our entire organization, I want to apologize to veterans, both those who were in Panama City Beach, and those who have felt the pain from afar, as well as to their families and all who support the Warrior Beach Retreat and had worked to make it a positive and meaningful occasion for attendees. 'I am deeply saddened that the actions of our members ruined this special event and failed to show the respect our military and their families so deserve. 'As we continue our investigation, our chapters at the University of Florida and Emory University have suspended all activities and are fully cooperating in our investigation. In addition, we have already expelled three members of the University of Florida chapter from our organization who we found to have been behaving inappropriately, and we will take any further action necessary as we learn more. Our Fraternity also has issued an apology on behalf of all of our members to the Warrior Beach Retreat, the organization that was hosting the veterans to provide them and their families with the opportunity to relax and recharge. 'We are honored that hundreds of our ZBT brothers have served in the military and are disgusted that certain members of our Fraternity failed to exhibit the behaviors we expect from them towards our nation's heroes — respect, gratitude and honor. 'We are committed to fully addressing the events that took place, and will be hiring an independent investigator to help us gather all of the facts. Short-term, we are actively working with the resort, with the Presidents of both universities and with the local police to fully understand the events that took place. In all instances, we have a zero tolerance policy towards this type of behavior and are committed to appropriately disciplining any members of our Fraternity who were involved.


Sounds like to me they are doing the right thing in this situation. No one can control what some punks do on there own free time but I believe this fraternity and the school has the proper response. This is definitely no Valdosta State University kind of response. Maybe that school should learn from how Florida is handling the situation.

ZBT is an average size frat. They were off campus when I was in school but based off the local news footage those frickers are on frat row, hopefully not for long.

Same here but maybe this fraternity is just different. We had several guys serve after college and I just can't imagine that happening. Then again, I'm guessing fraternities and UF generally are different from Auburn and the rest of the SEC in that regard.
