Quote:The university if its withing their right can take action or at least say something since they also have freedoms here. It's a moot point though since the governing body of the frat chapter has spoken on the issue and they are within their right since the chapter is under their ultimate control.

 

You somewhat have it right.

 

The university can not and should not have the ability to "take action" against these individuals because first of all, it didn't happen on university property.  Are you saying that it's up to the university to determine if what they did on their own property is "in poor taste"?  If the university determines that, should they have the power to shut down said speech/expression?  If so, then what if said university doesn't agree with a banner that say's "pro life"?  Would they also have the same power if they determine that the message is "in poor taste"?

 

As far as what the national governing body does with the frat chapter, that's their own internal issue and decision.
