The University of Texas at Austin isn't punishing a campus fraternity for a "border patrol" party, saying the Greek house didn't violate any university rules, according to the student newspaper The Daily Texan.
The party, thrown by the UT chapter of Phi Gamma Delta, or FIJI, reportedly featured fraternity members wearing "sombreros, ponchos, and construction hats with names such as 'Jefe' and 'Pablo Sanchez' written on them," The Texan reports. A UT administrator told The Texan that FIJI did not violate any campus rules because the party was held off campus.
The official UT Twitter account wrote, "While the behavior doesn't mirror UT core values, it's within students' right to freedom of speech at private off campus event."
The UT FIJI president originally defended the party to The Texan as a "western-themed party which focuses on the traditional old west." However, The Texan reports, "several party attendees said the party theme was communicated as 'border patrol.'"

I wonder what would happen if LSU's chapter tried to throw the same party.

That's pretty pathetic, but rational I guess. What fraternity president wants to get crucified by the SJW's over something like this.

No way they throw that party on campus and get away with it.

I'm sure there's several heavy-hitting Fiji UT School of Law alums who were lining up to sue the University, so I'm not sure about UT's "altruism," such as it is.
Today is March 2... you know, the date of Texas independence from Mexico.
UT celebrated the occasion for decades, until the liberals bitched, and UT stopped officially marking the occasion, which is a big deal to UT alumni, and a direct slap in the face.
See any Independence Day events? LINK
Celebration of the event is encouraged by the Texas Exes, UT's alumni association. But the university itself has whitewashed the event, no pun intended.
