Boston University Suspends Kappa Sigma For Being Normal Dudes, Promoting A Party With Hot Chicks
The PC police are out again, this time at Boston University. Kappa Sigma has been suspended for promoting a party using images and videos that were deemed “demeaning to women.” Kappa Sig co-hosted the party with the event planning group “Blackout University” in downtown Boston at the Royale Nightclub — back on Dec. 10, 2014.
From The Boston Globe:
The Kappa Sigma fraternity chapter, Mu Psi, also allegedly used the university’s name in marketing for the event without authorization from the school.
Online promotional materials for the party included a link to a website with pictures and video of “a culture of abusive behavior that openly celebrates verbal sexual coercion, belittling women, grabbing, groping, forced kissing, and the badgering of women for sex,” John Battaglino, assistant dean of students, wrote to the fraternity’s leadership in a Feb. 6 letter.
“Promotion photos for the party showed close-ups of women kissing open-mouthed, women’s bare breasts, and women’s buttocks, among other images,” according to BU Today, the university’s news website.
Battaglino apparently sent a letter to Kappa Sigma on Feb. 6, which notified the chapter that the university no longer recognized the fraternity as a student organization. This entails that the chapter can no longer use campus facilities, sponsor events, or, most importantly, recruit new members.
Sure, Kappa Sig may have included the university’s name while marketing the event, but how else are people going to know which chapter is responsible for such an awesome party? No one knows that these guys make up the Mu Psi chapter other than the Mu Psi brothers themselves. They were just advertising to a much broader audience.
I’m not seeing the problem here. Sex sells. That’s, like, Marketing 101. You can only show so much B-roll of mid-shelf liquor shots being poured or the DJ pretending to be doing anything other than clicking play on his laptop. If I don’t see some chick twerking her little heart out within the first five seconds, I’m not even giving the rest of your promotional video a chance — let alone the actual party..

THIS SHIT HAS GONE TOO FAR.
10 years ago at 11:14 amIf you don’t like sex, then fuck you.
10 years ago at 11:28 amSo sexualizing women is permissible when it’s on the big screen, in magazines and in music, but when fraternities do the same we’re scapegoated as being reinforcers of rape culture? Sick of this witchhunt.
10 years ago at 11:30 amLiberals have and will always be hypocritical cunts. Like you said, films like 50 Shades of Grey are permissible yet parties with “hot” girls aren’t. It’s total bullshit but as long as these left-wing shitheads remain in charge nothing will change
10 years ago at 11:39 amThis will probably blow your right wing mind, but at my school it’s actually the Republicunts that have worked tirelessly to shut down any parties. Don’t get me wrong, we have the jackoff, PC libtards here as well (including the ones who want to shut down “racist” parties), but at least they don’t try to kill the entire scene. Make me take a lap if you want, just remember that it’s not slander if it’s true.
10 years ago at 1:52 pmJust remember, we don’t care what’s going on at your school.
10 years ago at 2:39 pmIf I wanted to remember I wouldn’t drink so much.
10 years ago at 3:06 pmYou obviously didn’t get a bid. No worries, I hear the multicultural club needs some new members. A limp-wristed fudge packer like yourself will fit in just fine.
10 years ago at 7:02 pmWell youre a fucking piece of shit gdi loser…..not slander if it’s true
10 years ago at 9:55 pmIn the words of Joe Rogan, the unfuckable white people are ruining America.
10 years ago at 6:06 pmBut it is perfectly fine to sexualize men.
10 years ago at 11:44 amOr laugh when men are sexually mutilated, bro.

10 years ago at 1:10 pmCould you imagine the media shit storm if TFM wrote an article about getting back at your girlfriend by cutting off her clitoris?
10 years ago at 1:12 pmThe brothers have imagined it, and they like it. The court approves.
10 years ago at 5:46 pmApparently the Holyoke administration will find a BDSM club started by female students who want to specialize and objectify themselves.

10 years ago at 12:18 pmDammit. *sexualize
10 years ago at 12:18 pmYou just went full retard.
10 years ago at 1:05 pmMt. Holyoke is a special type of fucked up, that’s no surprise.
10 years ago at 4:50 pmSchools be like “That fraternity had a member that may or may not have inhaled the wrong air in 1948, so we’re suspending said fraternity.”
10 years ago at 11:38 amGentlemen, please take stories like this as a warning. Promote your parties in private. It sucks but the government is on the hunt for a scapegoat to make people feel better about their own devilish selves. “Say it forget it, write it regret it”
10 years ago at 11:41 amThey just won the bean pot, let thou rage.
10 years ago at 11:46 amSo the issue is that they used the university’s name in the advertisement? In other words, if it simply said Kappa Sig rather than BU Kappa Sig, all is well? Seems like a bit of a reach to suspend indefinitely…
10 years ago at 11:57 amThe pussification of our great nation strikes again. Meanwhile, that dean is probably beating it to the promo vid.
10 years ago at 12:01 pmPC liberal police use the same reasoning as the fucking Puritans. How’s that for “progress”
10 years ago at 12:59 pmThe pussification of America is making me sick.
