Allow me to introduce you to WD.
This will not end well.
... I don't usually associate frats with civil disobedience (or uncivil disobedience, as it were in this case).
Please lock now...all the info needed is in the OP.
So the fraternity according to the article:
"The UF chapter, which is currently under probationary status until Dec. 19, 2015, wrote to the Warrior Beach Retreat and veterans to offer apologies and to assure those involved would face consequences."
So does that mean they will soon be on...
defending the frats during the up north damage incident....but I didn't really read it. I saw a TON of downvotes for old Petr.
Theft and assault/battery are generally considered criminal, not fraternity or educational, matters.
out of it. . . Peter Klima would appreciate it.

Under what possible circumstances would college students, or anybody for that matter, do such things?
would be my guess.
I don't see this as any politcal statement but rather a bunch of drunk idiots. I'm starting to think frats need to have a Designated Sober Monitor with them at all times to make sure they don't do stupid shit like this.
aged 18-24.
Hell I could use one every now and again.
weapons charge.100% authentic American Idiot brilliance.
The Denver Post has some slightly more detailed coverage here, which they seem to be updating - LINK
Some detail that I didn't see in the USA Today piece unless I missed it:
The fraternity said it expelled three of its members Friday, and that it had hired an independent investigator.
The fraternity has also been out there - per this article - saying they will deal with others should additional names turn up in the investigation.
At least the frat did something, unlike our good ole SAM boys who didn't.
what someone does to a flag.
But spitting on anybody is an engraved ass-kicking invitation.
right (for example) not to salute the flag. If you want to burn one to demonstrate your hypothetical rights. . . you're kind of an idiot, but okay. (So many real things to fight for!)
But pee on it? Really? Why go that far out of your way to enrage so many people who have so many strong feelings of love invested in it? And during an event like that, of all times?
Why nobody just walloped the crap out of those pissants is beyond me.
I think the real punishment is that those kids should be shunned, have people turn their backs on them every time they walk into a room for a couple of years. Starting with their familes, who they have let down badly.

Yeah, it just seems almost The Onion-like in the absurdity. But then again, inebriated idiots can surprise you.
They should be suspended for spitting on veterans. As for the flag, while I find it disgusting, there's freedom of speech in this country.
Eh, Freedom of speech doesn't mean there are no consequences for the things you say or do.
I don't believe the University of Florida can take any action aginst them for what they did to the Flag since it's a public University. Their fraternity, however, very much so can.
Fuck those guys, really.
I was in a frat for the last 2 years on college. I only joined to meet girls and get laid (which it definitely gave me access to gorgeous sorority girls) and a bunch of friends of mine in my social circle joined at the same time. By and large it was a good experience, but there were some red flags on social group-think mentality which I disliked and refused to participate in.
A lot of the "brotherhood" stuff, I saw as fake, manufactured and BS. However I was using the frat to further some areas of my social life, like girls...which it did. I finally left the frat in my final semester when the guy who managed the house (which I did not live in) embezzled the rent funds and nobody did anything about it because he was buds with the president.
The next year, after I graduated, some of them raped a girl at the house and the frat lost their chapter. This was at CMU.

So you're too elite for 38 others and only 2 were worthy of you and your wedding. Oh and you blanket generalize all people in frats as below you. You sound like a ton of fun.
