At about the same time it was deciding to remove the word ''Confederate'' from the name of a residence hall, Vanderbilt University was moving three small, African-American fraternities into a house on its Greek Row for the first time.

The university could not have planned that the house would be the one belonging to Kappa Alpha Order, a fraternity suspended by its national headquarters in February for hazing prospective members. In fact, Vanderbilt first offered the house to Delta Gamma, a predominantly white sorority, said David Williams, the university's vice chancellor for student life and general counsel.

They sould consider renaming the university too.

Why don't they rename it to something more urban and ghett-ish if they want to attract non-whites?

How about "Kid N Play's Playas of Flava" U?

I just saw the headline on the Tennessean (Daily Liar) today on the newstands. I wanted to hurl. Vandy will not see any of my kids...that I swear.

This is the whole reason they brought in that social engineer Gee as the new Chancellor/President. Arsewipe trustees.

You want to know about Vandy? The only private college I know of whereby their Divinity School has a german Atheist as one of their most prominant "scholars". I pity my neighbors who sacrifice to send their kids there. One is in premed just like Daddy, maybe he'll survive.

This is 'diversity'? The 'removal' of things? Amazingly liberal, ain't it?

[Twodees]

They are trying to make the university more welcoming to and inclusive of African-Americans and members of other minority groups,

And they intend to accomplish this by ousting a fraternity for "hazing" and giving their house to a fraternity which bases its membership requirements on race. PC is the religion of communists.

The name "Vanderbilt" is offensive to me. What maroons.
