LSU doesn't own the house though and it didn't violate lsus code of conduct

LSU owns the land, they can make any rules they want.

This is why I knew this was going to happen soon enough.

I dk how common this knowledge is, but for a long time DKE was the only fraternity that actually owned their property (thanks to Huey Long). Every other Fraternity "leases" their land for like $10/year from LSU, so that if they ever frick up LSU can kick them out of their house. So it used to be they could "suspend" DKE's charter and "kick them off campus", but in reality they couldn't make them leave their house, because they owned the property.
Well when DKE got their charter back this last time, one of the things they had to do was sell their property back to LSU, so now they have to play by the rules like the other fraternities or risk losing their house completely (like SAE did back in 2001).

So in the past when people got all bent out of shape about their signs they could just basically say frick off you can't do anything to us, now they could actually lose their house....


It does show our priorities as a country though that this sign is such a big deal but they didn't get in trouble for the one they had that said "This won't be the first time Virginia Tech has been massacred"
