Vandals Spray Paint Swastikas On Stanford SAE’s House
Since the Stanford undergraduate senate passed a resolution supporting divestment from corporations identified as complicit in human rights abuses in Israel and Palestine, there has been an increase in hostility towards the Jewish community on campus. SAE is the latest to experience the hostility when someone tagged their house with Swastikas in an act of vandalism over the weekend.
From Stanford Daily:
The Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) fraternity house was painted with swastikas Saturday night, along with several personal slurs and epithets.
“We discovered a number of offensive symbols and messages spray-painted on the SAE house,” said the president of Stanford’s SAE chapter.
The president did not want to be named so as to prevent association with “such hateful symbolism.”
These are some of the pictures of the house vandalism:

Why was SAE targeted? The president of the fraternity said he didn’t believe that the acts were not directed at any member of SAE. The only recent news I could find on the chapter was that they had lost their housing privileges starting next year for Title IX violations in December, so I’m not sure why someone decided to paint swastikas on the house.
Also, for being Stanford students, you’d think whoever did this would be able to spell the words “fuck” and “you,” but what do I know? While the police still do not have any suspects, they are investigating this as a hate crime..

ΣΑΕ can’t catch a break.
11 years ago at 10:37 amDo the people who do this really think they’re sticking it to SAE? Like good job, you really got em’ good this time with your cute gold paint and misspelled words.
11 years ago at 10:38 amAnd yet Fraternities are still portrayed as the bad guys… Fucking double standards
11 years ago at 10:38 amI’m sure the media will find a way to turn this around on SAE in their continued witch hunt against fraternities.
11 years ago at 10:40 amThe Rolling Stone is citing multiple unnamed witnesses saying it was actually members of SAE spray painting their house.
11 years ago at 11:39 amThis makes no sense
11 years ago at 12:17 pmNevermind I get it now, the drunk just kicked in, it’s noon.
11 years ago at 12:18 pmA Stanford student that can’t spell “fuck you”? Come on it’s gotta be locals

11 years ago at 11:01 amAgreed after all Richard Sherman went to Standford
11 years ago at 11:28 amWell that isn’t counter productive at all. Fuck these guys.
11 years ago at 10:49 amOn a scarier note, if fraternities can get into trouble for Title IX violations were all fucked.
Haters gonna hate, and ainters gonna aint.
11 years ago at 10:49 amWhat in the sweet fuck does this mean?
11 years ago at 10:06 pmFuck these guys for vandalizing a fraternity’s property based solely on their letters. This is getting out of hand.
11 years ago at 10:52 amIts hilarious to see riots starting because of discrimination. Aren’t fraternities and sororities also being affected by discrimination because of being a minority? This wont be on any news media sources because of how all Fraternity men, all of us, are rich raping racists, right? This is the definition of double standards. You sure as hell wont see a spray painting club on campus be put on suspension…
11 years ago at 10:53 amGreek life riots? Let’s make this a thing.
11 years ago at 11:06 amYeah, that’s already a thing called “Thursday”
