Not sure if this happened at Bucknell, but I went to Colgate and a while ago they required that the fraternities and sororities sell their houses to the university if they wanted to keep active status.

I actually hate the Greek system (and have been very vocal about it on here) but that is total bs. I never had much of an opinion about Colgate before, but now I do and it's not favorable.

You could read the article... (the university called their actions “horrific”)

NP. But what were their actions and why dont you want to talk about it?

Because listing what you could read in the article seems pointless. WH don’t you want to just read the article?

15-20 mean:
Screaming
Trying to break in
Pounding on the door
8+ climbed on the roof
Urinating on the porch
Trying to force open a window

The urinating on the building is particularly Klassy and the rest is Klansy

Fixed it for you.

You just lost all credibility.

Wow, I see someone has no sense of humor whatsoever.

Maybe you just aren’t funny. Or does that make me racist?

There is nothing funny about the klan.

No, you're just a former frat bro who thinks terror tactics against people you used to make fun of are fine so young frat bros can have their booze house back.

No, I think the incident at the dorm was terrible. But I know you just aren’t funny.

Trespassing, vandalism, and attempted breaking & entering into a residence (a felony) are mostly peaceful?

Well, they were in Portland.

The problem is that the Bucknell admin will become even more dependent on the fraternity alumni for support as those who are not Greek-inclined shy away from the university in the wake of this incident.

And they’ll start nominating board members which will force the current board to pay attention. Some people forget that alumni ultimately control a school

If this were a co-ed French Language house would they have tried to break in and chanted give back our house, urinate, etc., hard to say. I can’t put myself in the mind of a 21 (let’s pretend they were all of legal drinking age) frat boy at Bucknell. I can’t imagine that world where my parents could have afforded a $60,000 a year school plus the fees to join a Greek organization and I would think it a good idea as a black female, first generation college student to literally piss it away harassing other students and breaking into a dorm while being publicly intoxicated and possibly calling into attention underage drinking.

Which brings me to the second question, would the campus police just have chatted up and said boys will be boys if this were a different group of people trying to break into the dorms and a different group of residents called and said they felt unsafe. Based on what I’ve seen of the world, I would say probably not. But the bottom line is the frat was in the wrong, they should not be threatening people in their dorm trying to break in and the campus police should have taken the situation seriously. Unless there are criminal charges of it being a hate crime and the debate is if it meets that threshold versus being a crime why are we even debating when wrong is wrong?

Typical doltish, frat boy behavior at Bucknell.

Dolts will be dolts, and Bucknell attracts them ($$$$) by the hundreds. It's the opportunity cost of third-tier SLACdom.

"They" exist wherever your child is matriculating or matriculated. They find audacity in camaraderie and courage in a bottle. The only question is how much a college will tolerate and admit in exchange for a lifetime financial annuity.
