158. Surely you must be joking....or are you the only poor soul in the world to have not gotten the word?

Yeah, they ARE a racist outfit. This is not a secret, nor is it a surprise.

Take off the doggone blinders, and stop embarrassing yourself:

The Ugly, Racist, Deadly History of Sigma Alpha Epsilon

The fraternity’s problems aren’t limited to the University of Oklahoma or the South. And they stretch back decades.

Two months before the Civil War began, Noble Leslie DeVotie was boarding a steamship when he slipped, fell into the waters of Mobile Bay, and drowned.

DeVotie was one of the founders of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, the only national fraternity founded in the antebellum South. A chaplain at Alabama's Fort Morgan at the time of his death, he became the fraternity’s—and some argue, the country's—first Civil War casualty. Nearly 75 other SAE members would die before the war’s end, the vast majority of them fighting for the Confederate South. When the survivors returned home, many found their universities burned to the ground and the 15 chapters of the fraternity in ruins.

SAE spent the next three decades rebuilding its ranks, eventually establishing chapters at Northern colleges. But their presence there among the well-established Northern fraternities was an uneasy one, so two members wrote a defiant march in which, as SAE’s manual describes it, the fraternity “entered, met and held at bay its rivals in the North.” It was the first of many songs SAE would produce, earning it the nickname “the singing fraternity.”

There's nothing quaint about the nicknames SAE has these days—on many campuses people say the initials stand for “sexual assault expected” or “same assholes everywhere.” The fraternity is also known as the one in which members are most likely to die. And now it may be called the most racist. .... SAE has frequently been accused of racist and discriminatory behavior over the years. Now the largest fraternity in the country, SAE seems to have played a disproportionate role in some of the most offensive incidents in recent decades, yet it remains a house in good standing at more than 200 campuses....

Much more--all UGLY as hell--at the link. Unless you think mocking MLK's birthday and having "Jungle Fever" parties is just good clean fun? Screaming racial invective at black students and beating up Jews is what? College pranks?

Stop defending the indefensible.
