Texas fraternity under fire for racist party forbids interracial dating, Mexicans, and ‘fagetry’

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.

Who would want to be part of such a negative organization? Sounds like social rules from 1950.

Will the "investigation" continue until they all graduate?

We may be a bunch of shitkickers just like Texans but at least our university deals with their assholes firmly and speedily.
