If you're squeamish be careful about clicking on the link because there's a picture of this kid's face after the incident, and it looks painful to say the least.

This didnt happenwith SAE .....It was SigEp

Both were involved though.

I thought the USM chapter of Sig Ep was a Balanced Man chapter?!?!?!.... For whatever reason the fraternities at USM have been on a decline fast. Obviously every Fraternity system has problems, but USM's fraternities seem to be much more violent and just flat out disruptive. Sounds like they probably need to do an evaluation of the entire system. I haven't heard anything positive on a fraternity down there in probably 5 years. (And yes I realize the media doesn't always report the positive stories...)

That doesn't make them angels. It just means they have a different kind of pledging process.

I thought it also meant they could not have parties in their house? But I totally agree with you! It is sad a few bad apples did this to this freshman. What a way to spend your holiday break.

"Ramsey said his son was walking home alone to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house on the Southern Miss campus where he lived, when members of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity yelled something derogatory at him."

LaGarde had lived at the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house. However, members were told to vacate the building Friday after the organization was suspended. University officials said fraternity members failed to cooperate in the investigation of Ramsey's beating.
Vice President for Student Affairs Joe Paul said the fraternity's past violations including bullying and harassing members and alcohol violations. Paul said the earliest the fraternity could reopen is in the fall of 2011.
The national Sigma Phi Epsilon organization also revoked the chapter's charter.
