Not a good week for TKE brothers and heights. First there was this – Tau Kappa Epsilon Brother falls off wall, in Hospital at Kansas University and now UofL Student Injured After Fall From Balcony
The student was at a fraternity party held in Gatlinburg, Tenn., Friday night.
University officials said he suffered only minor injuries and could be released from the hospital Tuesday.

Even before fully reading this story – Memorial Held for Freshman Slain While Crossing Freeway I saw the keywords “after attending the Alpha Epsilon Pi Film Fest after-party at Costa Mesa’s Shark Club when he was hit by two cars and killed. The details of why Nunez was on the freeway remain unknown, and his fraternity brothers and friends did not find out about his death until the following morning.” and thought “those guys are screwed” & “media, campus, cops, parents to say ‘frat’s fault!!!’ by lunch time”
Well I was wrong, it was quicker than before lunch time cause the very next story i read was Officials examine frats’ ties to death
Even though they are a c0-educational and “community service” Greek letter organization they are still doing a lot of the things that traditional Greeks do. Kudos to them.

Oh wait, there is no such thing as the “constitutional right not to be offended.” Oh well, there might as well be nowadays. The people who saw the event admit that they think Kappa Alpha was not trying to be racist, just that they were offended and it was “insensitive” of Kappa Alpha to dare remember part of the souths history.
Kappa Alpha has since apologized. I say that is not enough. Those horrible insensitive animals at Kappa Alpha should be sued, their national sued, their house burnt to the ground, they should ejected from the college and never allowed to enter the hollowed halls of higher learning again! (nor their children and children’s children!) That will teach them to be sensitive, tolerant and diverse. They need to be as tolerant as anyone else, say as much as a group who might be offended over a display of another groups display of cultural history! HOW DARE THEY! Confederate uniforms and sorority girls in hoop skirts! Hey, i have an idea, why don’t they get rid of that entire “old south event” —oh wait, some Political correct thug already suggested that.
