"The Kappa Sigma Fraternity has been suspended from operating at the University of Louisiana at Monroe. The suspension follows controversial posts that appeared on social media.

Just before 5 pm Thursday afternoon, ULM released the following statement:

This afternoon the administration was made aware of inappropriate interactions conducted on a private group exchange (Group Me) identified as Kappa Sigma Pledge. An individual with access to this private site shared it with an individual who share it publicly. The university upon receiving notice of the public posting, immediately began a preliminary investigation. University Police and Student Affairs officials, as a result of their preliminary findings, have suspended the organization. Students found to be involved will be referred to the campus disciplinary process."

We can't communicate thoughts in poor taste?

Heaven forbid free speech is allowed. I know most of what they were saying is very crappy to say but still, it’s free speech.

I didn’t know it was illegal to be a jerk.

Looks like a typical thread on the OT about race topics to be honest. LOL

Seemed to be very tongue in cheek and joking manner.

Private conversations get you in trouble now?

I've got way worse things in some group texts with buddies right now and we are all upstanding members of society,

Of all of the suggestions "Why black lives don't matter" made me chuckle the most.

You sure that wasn't just a screenshot from the Poli board?

So they had a private conversation but the school only got bent out of shape once someone leaked the conversation?

Free speech and what can happen if you don't use judgment in what you say.

I don't want to live in a world where you can't yell terrible things at pledges and throw beer at them. And then make them go get you Wendy's.

Nick Bruno is what's wrong with university Presidents. Suspension for this is gay.

Can I say that?

It's a private group and someone inside it shared it to get everyone in trouble. Someone in that fraternity is a SJW POS

I don't agree with the punishment, but yogmake no point at all, how would they know about it if it wasn't leaked?

We were discussing this in our cross country team group chat. We're lucky shots from our group chats never got shared or we'd be long gone. We never said racist shite but theres other stuff that would've ended us. Dr. Bruno ain't dickin around.

So off-color jokes get you kicked out of school now?

So rediculous.
