In the wake of yesterday's uproar following the release of a video showing the despicable behavior of SAE fraternity members singing a racist chant on a "party bus" and the subsequent closing of the fraternity on campus and removal of its charter by the national organization, I think the following stories might be relevant and of interest.
First of all, the following video of the housemother has come to light. It appears to have been taken at a party, and whether she was "just playing around" or something else was going on, it seems consistent with the behavior of the fraternity brothers. That link and story are here: http://www.rawstory.com/...
But there are some other stories that have a little more positive spin. One started out not to. The closing of the SAE house left a man without his job--Chef Howard, who cooked meals for these little jerks. An SAE alum has started a fundraiser for him. I learned about it via Rocky Mountain Mike's page on Facebook (Those of you who listen to Stephanie Miller will know Mike well). You can find the fundraiser here: https://life.indiegogo.com/...
The other story might hit Oklahomans a little harder. Seems a 4-star football recruit (who happens to be African-American) has decided he doesn't want to be a Sooner after all. Too bad, so sad. You can find that story here: http://sports.yahoo.com/...
Anybody wanna guess what his "personal reasons" might be?
