Yes, and the Dekes *do* have something of a reputation for this sort of stuff.

George W. Bush was a DKE at Yale.

when a group of 40-somethings from Bank Of America, or John Deere start posing for nude pics in front their office building then we start to question, but these are college students. I say, more power to them....

Yes, I long for those innocent days when we sang, “Chi O...Chi O...it’s off to bed we go...”

The stereotype of modern college campus life consist of multiple sexual “hook ups” by students with no consequences or commitment.

So tell me why do people who act like “sluts” get upset when they regarded and treated like “sluts”?

I should have elaborated and added that GWB was PRESIDENT of the DKE’s at Yale.

A few years ago the students of Rutgers were noted chanting “F@ck Navy, F@ck Navy” at a game on their campus. Attempts to arouse any sense of shame or impropriety amongst the “youts” of Rutgers were met with derision and defiance.

Later that same year Don Imus (whose language is often on the same level) was fired for referring to one of the women's teams as “Nappy headed hos”.

I guess the student bodies these days think one should be fired for criticizing their hair styles.

I would like to see a return to polite society, but to get there the student body is going to have to start by admitting that the problem is not one fraternity, but the entire student body. And it is not just the males either.

Uh, this is a very flawed approach if they want to actually appeal to live women and find some who will date them.

As a former rugger, trust me when I tell you that the cheer mentioned is mild compared to some of the chants/cheers/ rituals that go on after rugby matches.

, but to get there the student body is going to have to start by admitting that the problem is not one fraternity, but the entire student body.

"But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!"

I am SO GLAD I am a Sigma Chi!

We are so much above those petty, childish chants and insults against these innocent young women.

Maybe you and I should find a quiet spot where we can go to discuss this further!
