Sigma Alpha Epsilon was founded on March 9, 1856, at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Sigma Alpha Epsilon also know as SAE. In the last decade SAE has had quite the reputation for being the bad fraternity or in other words most grimy. In November 2015, in the Yale chapter they would have a party and have a rule of "white girl only". The students not letting in girls of color.
Then there is the question can the chapter be punished for their discrimination to peoples race. There is the other side that the fraternity house is private property and can allow the students to discriminate. Is the students first amendment protecting the students right to discriminate and only allow white girls into their party. SAE's national organization took a look into the allegations and found out that the chapter was trying to lt less people in because of recent police complaints. It is still wrong to reject all people of color. As bad as it is the chapter has the right to if the school permit it because the fraternity is a part of the school. So the school needs to take action step up and make sure this fraternity isn't out of hand.
I agree with what you stated Casey. What they did we believe is morally wrong. But ethically for their fraternity it was just a custom and only thought of it as a way to lessen police complaints. As we enter the law side of things, granted they where on private property so they had control of who they let on their property. We think this violates the first amendment and racial discrimination, which it does. But when it comes to the first amendment it was what they thought, no harm occurred because of it.
