American Outlaws Reaction

I'm sure all of you have seen the fusion.net article that broke this story, but if you haven't seen it, go look at it now, then continue reading.

Now, for my reaction. AO Phoenix should be ashamed of themselves for not only the incidents described in the article, but for their response was even more disrespectful. I think AO national needs to expel their Phoenix chapter or put them on probation for a long time for them to get themselves sorted out.

However, they, thank God, do not represent all of AO. AO Seattle's response to this was full of class and respect. They gave an e-mail and a phone number for members to call about their negative experiences. If that does not show proper leadership of a chapter, I don't know what else would. I am proud of AO Seattle for their response, and I think AO Phoenix should be either done or on probation for a really long time. Racism and sexism is uncalled for in those settings, and there needs to be steps taken, especially in light of the SAE controversy at the University of Oklahoma, and the new controversy surrounding another fraternity at the University of Maryland.
