A University of Texas fraternity outlined rules including racist and homophobic prohibitions for its members in a poorly spelled letter.
The confidential letter was posted inside the Austin chapter of the Phi Gamma Delta known as Fiji house, warning members against drugs, drinking and driving, smoking, and wearing headphones.
The letter also reminded fraternity members to respect the house, respect the ladies, and Know Longhorns Football.
But the letter also prohibits fagetry, interracial dating, and Mexicans.
The fraternity president apologized last month after members and guests wore stereotypical Mexican costumes to the western-themed annual Fiji Marshals party.
More than 1,000 Texas students asked the university president to punish the chapter for the party, but the investigation remains underway.
