Clemson SAE Suspended After “Clemson Cripmas” Party
Sigma Alpha Epsilon at Clemson University has suspended all activity indefinitely after the fraternity was connected with a party dubbed “Clemson Cripmas” at an off-campus house on Saturday night. The gang-themed party stirred up controversy immediately after photos hit Instagram and other social media platforms, prompting the university and SAE nationals to act swiftly.
From WYFF 4:
Most of the fraternity chapter’s officers have resigned from their positions and have been suspended from the organization, according to the statement.
University officials said any member who attended the party may face suspension as well, pending the results of an internal investigation.
This is why you stick with the basics, kids. White Trash Bash, Golf Bros and Country Club Hoes, or maybe even an ABC Party. No one’s getting offended by your TaylorMade hat or you having the audacity to rock a traffic cone as pants. The next time you discuss party themes, just think: “Could this party theme be perceived as racially insensitive or politically incorrect?” If the answer is yes, do not proceed. Be smart..

“Could this party theme be perceived as racially insensitive or politically incorrect?” If the answer is yes, do not proceed. Be smart.
Unfortunately, in today’s oversensitive society, this standard basically means no more theme parties of any kind, ever.

11 years ago at 12:09 pmHahaha the ckick with the pillow ass
11 years ago at 12:22 pmHonestly I’m offended they’re having a Cripmas party and half of them wore red
11 years ago at 12:44 pmThey just wanted to do hoot rat stuff with their friends.
11 years ago at 12:54 pmIt is only a race issue if people make it a race issue. African Americans are oppressing themselves by saying it was offensive to their culture. Really? Your culture is crips? Pretty sure there is caucasians in the crips too

11 years ago at 1:06 pmThis is absolute bullshit, it happened in an off-campus house and from what it sounds like nothing horrible happened at this party (you know like pledging ritual beer-bottle gang bangs), except that they dressed up like thugs. I don’t even know what to say anymore, the shit that fraternities are being suspended/kicked off for these days is insane.
11 years ago at 1:12 pmI am honestly starting to think that people who think it’s ok to actually punish someone for “being insensitive” or some other politically correct bullshit, actually has some sort of mental disease because it shows that they are incapable of any logical thought and do not base their decisions in real rational facts. In other words those administrators at Clemson and Nationals members are behaving in a highly delusional manner. Or maybe they are just the same morally oblivious stupid-smart “intellectuals” that a good ol’ liberals arts program excretes into our society.
