There Will Never Be A N****r At SAE!

Just because we live in an age of moronic simplicity and the current SC might rule this speech as protected doesn't make it constitutional, except in the most technical sense.

Apparently being principled invites contemp, but given the source, I'll take it as a badge of honor.

Using alleged 'principles' as an excuse not to think critically is what invites contempt.

HOW can you honestly say that is principled if you have read what the SAE website says? They are acting against what the charter says SAE is all about. The True Gentleman Experience is a central part of pledging Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Lying about what the fraternity represents and their mission is fairly unprincipled and to pass that on to younger members of the fraternity...can't you see the deceit? Teach those kids to honor what they signed up for by actually BEING True Gentlemen in their hearts, otherwise go home. For the record I am a Caucasian so don't think I am a black man with hurt feelings or black at all for that matter, but I can see the problem regardless of my race. It comes down to one simple question. Does the fraternity have the right to enforce it's charter pledge or not? If you are going to go ahead and say it has no authority then don't have a fraternity and that's what we have now because you have to recognize something outside yourself when you take a pledge. You cannot just do whatever you want when you have committed to the True Gentleman Experience. You must honor that commitment or go home. Otherwise there's no point to any pledge.

The alumni appear to be teaching students there isn't any honor. It's just a matter of doing whatever you want regardless of any commitment you have made. Just do what you want, it's in the constitution so what you have declared you will do means nothing because we can just forget it, it won't hold up in court. Where is the honor?

According to Noah Feldman, a Bloomberg View columnist, and professor of constitutional and international law at Harvard:

Duh. That is what I have been saying all along. It isn't about speech. It's about discrimination and if that building belongs to the university, they can shut it down if they have a University Residential Housing policy banning discrimination based on race. It would be the same as one of their instructors announcing he won't give anyone in the class with brown skin a grade above C. Same sort of thing. He could be fired for that despite all this free speech hype.

Not "burn the heretics" just suspend the fraternity for a couple of years - something like that doesn't sound out of the question when you look at what the football team goes through just for violating recruitment rules. NCAA puts them through hell.

Things have gone downhill considerably since I lived in Walker Tower. For one thing, men and women lived on the same floor and there were blacks, whites, Asians all on the same floor and things went pretty smoothly except for loud stereo systems and just general loudness. Most of them were loud but they were respectful of one another except for the noise levels.

Now men and women cannot even be trusted to live on the same floors, they alternate floors so women occupy one, then men, then women and on and on. The biggest problem is people have forgotten what respect means.
