Not sure how it initially was posted, but someone involved in "diversity awareness" on campus posted it to out them, from what I understand.
No that's Kappa Alpha. SAE's traditional annual party is "Paddy Murphy," which has a prohibition-era Ness vs the Mob theme.
Yeah KA were pretty blatant about it when I was in school. Confederate flags flying in windows and such. They were definitely known as the "Good ol boys" frat. Ironically their house wasn't on frat row, but on another street about 4 doors down from the two historically black frats.
I never saw any confederate flags flying on KAs windows and such when I was in college, and I went to college in the South. A lot of the Greek houses were once plantation houses, but you can't hold that against them. I was in college from 84-90, and for three years I lived in a townhouse that was connected to 5 others. My roommates and I were not in the Greek system, but the two townhouses on our right were occupied by KAs. The townhouse on our closest left was occupied by GDIs (one being black), and then the two townhouses beside them were Kappa Sigs and Sig Eps. We all got to know each other well, and we were friends. I never saw any racism from any of them, and that includes the KAs. The KAs would wear these t-shirts sometimes that said "Southern Gentleman" on them, and we laughed at that, but that was due to how some of them always talked #### about their "little sisters" and other girls they would use. That seemed to be a common theme in all of the frats. I didn't see racism at the open frat parties either. My friends and I would go to some of the frat house parties when they had bands play. It was usually outside of the houses. I don't know if that still happens today, but back then frats had open parties to everyone. It was the socials and stuff like that you had to be invited to, and I never went to any of those. Anyway, there are racists everywhere, and there is bound to be some racists in frats no matter what their race may be, but I don't think it's common to have a whole frat be a spin-off of the KKK.
what school did you go to?

I did get dirty looks during college from some white people when I would play tennis with my black neighbor Byron. The dirty looks were usually from older white folks thinking Byron and I were a interracial couple. I didn't mind anyone thinking that at all. Byron was nice, intelligent, funny, cute as can be, and had a million dollar smile (and he loved the Rolling Stones).
5 1/2. I switched majors my fourth year, and ended up with a major and a minor.
to many people Rich White Dudes = RacistMeh, my fraternity brothers are rapists... at least according to that hackjob at Rolling Stone.
I knew a few SAEs at UCSB. Didn't strike me as racists, just rich whities.
Cracker fratboys
I can't see this ending well for that guy at all. Surely all of their names or at least the one on screen's name are out by now.
..Byron....sounds pleasant...Byron..kind of fun to say.simey said:I never saw any confederate flags flying on KAs windows and such when I was in college, and I went to college in the South.

I don't usually have any overcoming feelings of having to defend any of my life choices, but in this case (and since I have 5 minutes to kill before I can jet), I'll respond to this nice softball.Also known as "buying friends and access to parties".Fraternity
That is all.
