Sorority placed on temporary probation over cowboys and Indians dress up party

[d'urville]

Guess even sororities have to be totally PC in today's colleges and universities - i.e., indoctrination centers:

The Gamma Phi Beta sorority at UND has been put on temporary social probation while the university investigates complaints stemming from a November party during which sorority members and their guests donned mock Indian garb and red face and body paint.

The temporary probation was issued by both the UND Dean of Student’s Office, which will investigate the complaints, and by the Gamma Phi Beta International office in Centennial, Colo.<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>function photoFull (URL) {day = new Date();id = day.getTime();eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,men ubar=0,resizable=0,width=510,height=510,left = 137,top = 84');");}</SCRIPT>

UND means North Dakota. I don't believe Notre Dame (http://media.www.ndsmcobserver.com/media/storage/paper660/news/2006/03/24/News/Domers.Defend.Dorm.Life.At.Notre.Dame-1716083.shtml) has fraternities or sororities.

[LivingDeadGirl]

Since when has that ever stopped them?

Never...it just leads to more head shaking...

I swear, everyone is so flippin sensitive anymore...it's like dealing with a world of menopausal or pregnant women!!

Thank Gaia that the PC crap wasn't around when I was a kid. I couldn't have dealt with playing Cowboys and Native Americans.

These PC pricks up here have cost UND BILLIONS of dollars in investment from Ralph Engelstad (http://www.theralph.com/asp/default.asp?p=23) (he's the guy who built the Imperial Palace (http://www.harrahs.com/casinos/imperial-palace/casino-misc/hotel-overview.html) in Las Vegas and spent OVER $100 million to build The Ralph (http://www.theralph.com/) (which is rated in the top 3-5 sports venues in the entire WORLD).

Notice the logo at the top left of the page...THAT is what has the farkin' bleeding heart liberals so "up in arms" about the "disrespect" shown towards Native Americans. One of my clients is (well, was) a close personal friend of Ralph and told me he had used the word "billions" when speaking of what he wanted to do for his alma mater. I imagine the new dormitory, the new parking ramp, the business development around the arena, and many other projects were going to be funded by him. That is, until some whiny face bitch at the college of Norwegian studies publicly chastised him.

You see, the dumb cluck had ASKED Ralph for a donation for some project the college was undertaking. He happily agreed and went farther, stating any monies she was able to raise, he'd match dollar for dollar. Then this "logo brouhaha" hit the papers and she publicly humiliated him by stating in an interview in the paper that she would never accept a dime from him.

Pretty much killed it for the entire university from that point on. The "C" word describes that clueless bitch to a "T".

That's it parents, DO NOT let your kids play "Cowboys And Indians" any more...

However, they ARE welcome to play "Socially Inept White Murderous Oppressors and Victimized Oppressed Native Americans" as long as they refrain from using the stereo-typical "whoo whoo whoo" sound while riding in their mock war party. Oops, did I say "War Party"? What I MEANT was "Ethnically Garbed Touring Group".

[TeenageRepublican]

I don't play Cowboys and Indians anymore... I do it old skool. I play Cops and Hippies!

At least they didn't get double secret probation.

Hey. I'm a working man. I'm going to file a discrimination suit against anybody I see wearing a tie.


Now here's a place that deserves to go out of business:

The Herald also linked to Scott’s photobucket site in its early coverage of the Gamma Phi party. Many of those photos have since been removed from the site and replaced with a note that they violated the site’s user agreement.

Say what?

How did it get around? Smoke signals?


No, most likely some underhanded, forked tongue pale face bribed someone with some wampum and a bottle of fire water and got them to leak it to the Calvary.

[RogerFGay]

And what are the UNDs?
