Penn State KDR suspended - partially nude photos in Facebook group
http://m.wpxi.com/news/news/local/pe...t-faceb/nkX6S/
Quote:
A fraternity at Pennsylvania State University has been suspended after two private Facebook pages containing pictures of partially naked women were discovered, police said.
Several members of the university’s chapter of Kappa Delta Rho are accused of taking the pictures of the women when they were sleeping or passed out and posting them to the private Facebook page "Covert Business Transactions,” according to a search warrant obtained by NBC-affiliate*WJAC. Pictures on the page also included drug sales and hazing.

Not a good plan especially when their national office is just a few hours away in Greensburg.

It's on CBS This Morning right now, and they're tying in Sigma Chi at Houston and, I'd course, SAE at Oklahoma.
March has not been a good month for fraternities.

And the Today Show...they showed bus footage again from Oklahoma. They did include an interview clip from a woman with expertise on campus sexual assaults and harassment who felt that moving forward, these negative incidents would lead to positive changes.

How is it responsible to continue to show the OU SAE footage when this is a completely unrelated, isolated incident??
I'm not sure what "positive changes" this could lead to other than that this group will probably be disbanded... and rightfully so.

Since when is the Today show more about responsibility than ratings? From a capatalist standpoint, it may be irresponsible to not show footage that increases their media visibility. If the story is still hot, they may as well use it.

And if the story is about racist, sexist, out-of-control fraternities . . . .

Two chapters out of thousands had problems this Spring (so far).
That should be our response to this--that the vast majority of our chapters are law abiding organizations which are helping to prepare America's future leaders.

I saw a quote on Facebook that said something along the lines of how it must suck to be directly affected by the media's portrayal of a small percentage of your community that are probably nothing like you.
Yep, that.
I meant to quote Kevin, not MC, but whatevs.

Kevin, with all due respect, the Colonies thread is full of mostly (but not all) fraternity chapters being closed for a variety of risk management issues. There is a serious problem.

What are they doing to actively work against racism, sexism, etc? I don't recall EVER seeing an NPC/IFC group with serious programming on these issues, beyond superficially covering date rape.

I can only speak to Sigma Nu, and yes, we cover this more than superficially.
