AKL Chapter Closed
Alpha Kappa Lambda chapter at CMoSU was closed by its Natioal Headquarters and told to move out of the Campus housing complex.
The chapter held a Beer and Chicken party on MLK Day at their School living quarters wearing baggy pants, doo-rags, and drinking out 0f 40 oz bottles of beer in brown sacks.
While it may seem harsh, it was very insensative on the part of the Fraternity.

I thought this might make sense in Risk Management. If anyone strongly disagrees, it can move back.

Are you joking? No one has official parties for that sort of thing, but I think everyone celebrates MLK that way. I know we did. chicken wings from hooters, 40's, and friday after next.

If anyone locates a link for this, could you please post it here? I actually need it, because it really backs up the argument I made when I turned down an invite to a Black History Month party a few weeks ago.

I am at lost for what they actually did wrong.
Have they physically hurt someone? Did someone get hurt at this party?
I don't know about you but I'm pretty sure all sorts of free speech bugs the hell out of me, but i'm not going to get groups like PRIDE and the Campus Greens to disband.

I think Tom is right that this is a huge sensitivity issue.

while they didn't physically hurt anyone, I don't think that this is the representation of membership that AKL desires. It would be offensive to brothers within the organization itself...that whole "brother's keeper" part, ya know? If it was up to me, I wouldn't have closed the chapter, but cleaned house and given the rest of them a good lesson in manners, representation and general "how not to be an a$$hole".

Thank You exlurker. I just saw on late news last night and in KC paper this morning.
ilikehazing, I think You are missing the whole picture here actually.
While not physically hurting anyone, eating chicken and drinking beer is not what the whole point was, but the way it was handled and feelings of others on campus.
It also included have beer in the portion of the School owned housing complex and AKL being a "dry" organization plus School rules.
As far as cleaning House and leaving the Chapter there would be very hard with no members. This was a full blown Chapter party periord, not a few members doing something ignorant.
DeltAlum, not sure if R M should be the place or only place for the thread as G L gets more hits than anyother thread. That is why I posted it there as opposed to a Risk Management situation. I am sure it could have been sloted in either one.

Sad, very sad. Not funny at all.
Go give someone a Mouth Hug.
Remember, if one acts like a BEM, then they will be treated like a BEM!
