Penn State frat suspended for year over nude Facebook photos
Penn State frat suspended for year over nude Facebook photos
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - A Penn State University fraternity was suspended for a year Tuesday after police began investigating allegations that members used a private, invitation-only Facebook page to post photos of nude and partly nude women, some apparently asleep or passed out.A former member of Kappa Delta Rho at the university's flagship campus in State College tipped police off to the page, telling them in January that it had been used by members to share photos of "unsuspecting victims, drug sales and hazing," according to a copy of a police warrant obtained by The Associated Press.The ex-member also provided authorities with printouts from the page.The fraternity's national executive director, Joe Rosenberg, told the Penn State chapter in a letter that it would be banned from most activities for the near future and must reorganize.He said the suspension was "for the most serious misconduct, most serious disregard of fraternity rules."

I don't know why colleges tolerate fraternities on campus anymore.
Fraternities are bastions of binge drinking, misogyny, petty criminality, and boorish behavior.
Fraternities are also antithetical to the experience of a liberal arts community. At university You are supposed to meet, work with and come to understand people who's backgrounds and outlook are different from your own. Fraternities take people with similar outlook and allow them to wall themselves off in small enclaves.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.
