Yale Just Dicked Its SAE Chapter Because Of Comments Made A Year Ago By Graduated Members
Fraternities are comprised of college-aged males. College-aged males are comprised of alcohol and a ravenous sexual appetite. What the fuck do universities think these guys are going to discuss?
We aren’t quite sure of all the details, but it appears that SAE at Yale just went tip-to-tip with the girthy shaft of Yale’s administration and lost. A year after two members allegedly made sexually suggestive comments at a private initiation ceremony, the brothers learned they will close up shop until August 2016.
The really perplexing — and frightening — aspect of this situation comes in here: The two members who made the comments at the ceremony have since graduated. The ceremony also occurred in February 2014. That was a year ago. A full year, roughly 365 days later, and now the chapter is told it’s done. All of this over words spoken at a private event. No actions resulted from the comments. Nothing but a few “inappropriate comments.”
From Yahoo:
The incident occurred at a private chapter event when two members made “inappropriate comments” about a female student, Brandon Weghorst, an SAE spokesman, said by e-mail.
The precedent has been set. A verbal utterance at a private event sent these guys packing. Are GroupMe conversations next? Those surely aren’t clean. Might as well wipe that Facebook as well.
Even the SAE national president was shocked to hear that Yale was giving his guys the boot a year after the incident.
“I was surprised at the university coming in a year later” with the ban on SAE, said Cohen, who helped establish the Yale chapter in the late 1980s. The students who made the comments have graduated, he said.
We’ll probably never know the exact words spoken during the event. The fear still exists, though. The chapters following spring break and formal just got a lot less interesting.
To all the stories that were aborted before they ever saw the light of day as a result of this ruling, rest in peace..

11 years ago at 11:18 amLiberal pussies. Eat a bag of girth yale. ΦΑ, another sad day for ΣΑΕ. Stand strong against the incoming tide brothers.
11 years ago at 9:44 amSomeone must have ratted on their own brother. Not fucking cool.
11 years ago at 9:46 amSnitches get stiches motherfuckers
11 years ago at 11:56 amSeriously it the pussification of America. I wonder who let it out? Someone must have spilled the beans. What’s said in chapter/ritual stays in chapter/ritual!
11 years ago at 9:49 amAh hm sir your name offends me. I’m white and in no way have anything connections with any Mexicans but I feel the term “texmex” is demeaning and racist you should change it. And if you are in fact Mexican and Texan then you should have a little more respect for your ancestry. If you don’t change it I’m going to call AHA and sue you.
11 years ago at 10:56 amPretty sure this country was founded on freedom of speech. What the fuck are we becoming? Communist Russia?
11 years ago at 9:52 amStupid decision that this was, it was a decision made by Yale, a private university, not by the government. So maybe we are becoming Communist Russia, but this is not an example. The government stepping in and telling Yale, a private institution how to handle it, would be an example of that. I’m in no way defending Yale’s choice though. Its freaking stupid.
11 years ago at 10:42 amGlad someone pointed this out. It’s an important legal distinction. That said, fuck Yale.
11 years ago at 1:02 pmGood lord! Better erase any chapter groupme messages that are even remotely sexual! This may take a few days…
11 years ago at 9:54 amYale’s really taking the North Korea approach to handling its Greek life. Too bad the members have already graduated, so they can’t be sent to do hard labor in a political re-education camp.
11 years ago at 9:55 amThe socks in your TFM picture may offend illegals that aren’t from here and foreign exchange students. Please change it before I call AHA.
11 years ago at 11:01 amI apologize; I will find a replacement pair of socks that represents all people equally by national origin, gender identity, race, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic status, immigration status, and sexual orientation, without singling any of them out or hurting anybody’s feelings.
11 years ago at 3:32 pmNo, no you can wear socks that offend white, Christian, middle to upper class, republicans, that are also American. Their rights don’t matter.
11 years ago at 7:27 pmthis blatant disregard for the feelings of others has gotten out of hand. i propose we make all socks illegal
11 years ago at 8:23 pmThis country doesn’t even feel that free anymore(not talking about anything with military), so many regulations around amendments now and so many more to come because of shitty liberals.
11 years ago at 9:58 amSomeone needs to tell Yale rights to free speech come from me and not man.
11 years ago at 10:07 amWell, Americans used to believe that, but if you say “separation of church and state” enough times people come to believe it was actually a part of the constitution. Just look what CNN is spewing to our fellows:
