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..

America has gone so soft
11 years ago at 11:29 amThis happened to my chapter. We’d go on in our email chains about how much we wanted to fuck each others’ mothers and other vulgarities, and one of said mothers read her son’s emails and turned them over to the school These weren’t school emails. They were private Gmail/Yahoo type accounts. We were suspended for a semester.
11 years ago at 1:00 pmThis is what happens when you stand by and let the PC libtards take over the campus faculty and student body. “Trigger warnings” “microaggressions,” “check your privilege” bullshit…it all contributes to a mindset of thought and speech oppression, and it’s only going to get worse unless you challenge it head on every time you hear it. Most people are too lazy or don’t think it matters enough to bother with, unfortunately.
11 years ago at 2:02 pmI go to Yale, and this hasn’t changed anything. SAE isn’t on campus, so it will still throw parties and do everything normally. It just won’t be able to mention the chapter is affiliated with Yale or use yale.edu emails. No real punishment, Yale just wants to prevent anyone from blaming it if SAE actually fucks up.
11 years ago at 12:53 pmas a qpac guy who knows some of the guys at yale…i understand based on this article people are pissed, but this article doesn’t illuminate the true details. honestly the guys were pretty fucked up. SAE guys are full of rich, skinny white guys trying to be relevant in the Yale social scene. one of the guys took a picture of an ex-virgin (right after he took her virginity – she was passed out) and then they were all discussing a girl many of them had got with in a pretty degrading way. I’m obviously for frat security etc but i think yale was right in this case
11 years ago at 1:37 amI’m not sure about other chapters of SAE, but the one at my University initiates their members a day or two after pledge-in. That being said, I don’t see the point of them existing.
11 years ago at 10:46 pm[…] a humor site catering to Greek life audiences nationwide, published a story with the headline: “Yale Just Dicked Its SAE Chapter Because Of Comments Made A Year Ago By Graduated Members.” The story, quoting SAE national officials who expressed shock that Yale would punish the entire […]
