- synystar, on 05/07/2008, -0/+71"The DEA said a member of the Theta Chi fraternity sent out a mass text message to his "faithful customers" stating that he and his "associates" would be unable to sell cocaine while they were in Las Vegas over one weekend." Yeah...that's smart. File this under dumbass.
- trp5023, on 05/07/2008, -1/+61The really ironic part of this? Theta Chi is a nationally dry fraternity that doesn't allow alcohol on their property.
- drewpost, on 05/07/2008, -9/+68I'm sorry but I have a very hard time yielding to the anti drug laws in this instance. This wasn't a couple of kids smoking weed in their dorm/apartment - These were criminals with guns on campus dealing hard drugs like cocaine. They didn't arrest the end users, they took out the distribution network which is doing what a lot of you want - not arresting people for having a small amount of weed on them. None of the people arrested were end users. I have NO problem with a UNIVERSITY police force wanting to remove people dealing cocaine AND possessing firearms on school property or in student housing. How would you feel if your son or daughter shared a house next to one of these frats where, if something had gone wrong (say for instance one of the many people who recieved the texts knew they had lots of drugs and cash in the house) decided to go rob them and a gun fight ensued? I wouldn't want any one I cared about anywhere near this!
- unicronband, on 05/07/2008, -4/+48Sup brahs. No yay this weekend, I'm in Vegas at the OAR show. ***** was SO cash! Just washed down an oxycotin with some Natural Light, about to rape some chicks! YEAH!
Stay Alpha - justinx0r, on 05/07/2008, -5/+40To have fun, drink a lot, and have socials with other sororities?
- cawpin, on 05/07/2008, -3/+32Cocaine is pretty dry.
- marc54, on 05/07/2008, -3/+32Send Lawyers, Guns, and Money, ***** has hit the fan!
- souljaboytellem, on 05/07/2008, -3/+31That little light in the middle means your caps lock is on
- Roryking, on 05/07/2008, -10/+36I've looked and looked, and I've yet to get a straight answer. Why do people join fraternities/sororities?
- Joeyrev, on 05/07/2008, -2/+25Listen, I understand the whole "marijuana should be legal" argument, but we're talking about much stronger and dangerous drugs in large quantities; not to mention gang ties and guns. I agree with joebaloney, you want to sell some pot, that's cool with me, but don't ***** bring a gun onto my campus.
- trp5023, on 05/07/2008, -9/+32I spent about ten minutes writing a rant in this box, and I decided not to post it.
I want to talk to you like adults. If you think the war on drugs ruined these kids lives, you're right. After all, the war on murder kind of ruins the lives of those who take the lives of others. These ADULTS (College men aren't children, sorry to burst your bubble), made a conscious decision to prey on their classmates and peers. They did so in a remarkably cavalier way, sending text messages, keeping lots of product on hand with cash and guns, and generally being ignorant.
I have no problem with the four pounds of weed. Weed never hurt anyone. Cocaine and Ecstasy get less sympathy from me. Those are dangerous substances. People die from cocaine and ecstasy abuse. Those kids put many many lives at risk.
So, no. The law didn't ruin their lives. They ruined their lives when they thought they were above the consequences.
Sorry for sounding like an angry dad. - sgtbutterscotch, on 05/07/2008, -2/+24ROBOT HOOOOOOOUUUUUUSSSSSSEEEEEEE!!!!!!
- trp5023, on 05/07/2008, -1/+23No, we're going to take 96 kids that had the grades, means and motivation to make it to college but who TURNED THEMSELVES into narcotraffickers. They weren't just selling weed, they were selling Cocaine and ecstasy. I'm fine with the bud, but when you hit the powders things have gone too far.
- joebaloney, on 05/07/2008, -5/+25They knew what risk they were taking when they bought guns and drugs in large quantities. I don't know about you, but I don't want people with guns and mafia ties on my campus.
- BeforeSputnik, on 05/07/2008, -2/+21It's Natty Light. No one actually calls it Natural LIght.
- plizard, on 05/07/2008, -1/+18because sororities have awesome lesbian initations
- testastretta, on 05/07/2008, -0/+17A quote from one of the kids who was arrested:
'A criminal justice major was arrested on suspicion of possession of cocaine. As he was being arrested, he asked officers if this would hurt his chances for a law enforcement career, officials said.'
Increasingly, imagining what the US will be like in twenty years is frightening. - Evildudetx, on 05/07/2008, -10/+26Immoral drug laws? Somehow I think morals would tell you to NOT do drugs, or sell them, or have anything to do with drug cartels.
- robbiemuffin, on 05/07/2008, -2/+17of course they're gonna get busted. the names of the damn frats are Theta Chi (THC) and Phi Cappa Psi (PCP)
;) - inactive, on 05/07/2008, -2/+17Hello block list.
- FearisFailure, on 05/07/2008, -4/+18Mom, Dad please send me more money for this semester...
- Evildudetx, on 05/07/2008, -0/+14Pantie raids are done on Sororities, not other frat houses.....unless these are gay fraternities.
- Pancake, on 05/07/2008, -6/+19I am a brother of Theta Chi Fraternity and woke up to this post with disbelief. I will not try to defend these guys. They are no brothers of mine. It is part of our national rules to not to be involved with illegal substances in any way and because of this, their chapter will be removed from our national roster. As for the brothers I know and all chapters I have talked to, I can tell you this. We have a dry policy that is enforced, we do not haze, and proudly avoid the "animal house" antics as much as possible. As for the brothers I know, we are not stupid save for a few and hate the word "frat" in all cases.
I know I'll probably be railed on this post but I couldn't sit back and let our name become tarnished by some idiots who don't deserve to represent me and my brothers. And I do understand that there are some people out there who hate all Greek life - understandably so (I agree that many Greek events and actions can be shallow and pointless). I would just like some people that there are some Greeks who are not the stereotype and are trying to change the culture. Thanks for listening.
Marcus - fr3ddie, on 05/07/2008, -7/+21Cant we all just smoke a bong?
- Haroshia, on 05/07/2008, -0/+13I joined for the cheap housing and the LAN parties...
...I had a really geeky frat. - mcphatty, on 05/07/2008, -2/+15don't you mean sororities?
- hokie47, on 05/07/2008, -4/+17I had a great time in my fraternity. Most of the guys who join are already friends with either one of the pledges or one of the brothers. For the most part it is just a large group of friends that have socials, party's, and do some community service and fundraising. My best man at my wedding 3 weeks ago was a fraternity brother, and I still fly up and visit my fraternity during alumni weekends. It is not for everyone, but please don’t be a blanket hater of them.
The only thing the digg nation hates more than Hillary is fraternities. - unicronband, on 05/07/2008, -4/+17MIL HOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
- Abomonog, on 05/07/2008, -0/+12The panty raids became a sex crime. Safer to deal drugs.
- SwedishNinja, on 05/07/2008, -3/+14ANIMAL HOOOUUUSSSSSEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Boshow, on 05/07/2008, -1/+12Most fraternities are dry for insurance purposes
- cawpin, on 05/07/2008, -0/+10"The DEA needs to go after the real perpetrators of drug trafficking."
You mean like a guy that send out a massive text message saying he has cocaine to deal? Yeah, done. - Abomonog, on 05/07/2008, -1/+11What makes this so ironic is that the police were probably tipped off by the illegal aliens who deal pot across the street on 12th and Broadway.
People got too cocky and they got busted. California is probably the easiest state deal in. You're just not a local police priority in most of the state. But if you're doing enough business to get the DEA to quit raiding the compassion clubs you don't send mass text messages about cocaine deals and you certainly screen your customers before you sell to them. - hitmanjc103, on 05/07/2008, -1/+11Check out his other comments...hes not afraid to hit the caps lock.
- Haroshia, on 05/07/2008, -0/+10Brucie?
- MaynardJK, on 05/07/2008, -5/+14If drugs were legal, there would be no money in them for organized crime.
- Joeyrev, on 05/07/2008, -1/+10"Drugs including cocaine, ecstasy, marijuana and methamphetamines were confiscated in the sting"...sounds like a little more than the evil weed to me.
- drewpost, on 05/07/2008, -2/+11Not all of the 96 were kids and this wasn't about some kids getting high on weed - It was the distribution for weed AND cocaine and in possession of a weapons cache in a freaking university. They didn't tuch the end users who bought the weed. Need I remind you this all started as a result of a student ODing on Cocaine!?
- DteK, on 05/07/2008, -0/+9just as I imagined it went down.
certified idiots - robbiemuffin, on 05/07/2008, -0/+9near 100 people is not small potatoes. guns are not small potatoes (at least, not unlicensed ones, they didn't specify).
- Spottswood, on 05/07/2008, -0/+9In soviet russia, retarded simpleton bury and block you!
- queondatavo, on 05/07/2008, -0/+9There have been a few deaths because of cocaine overdose at SDSU in the past few years.
- Chompy, on 05/07/2008, -0/+9Thanks for the tip, Chad.
- MaverickSmooth, on 05/07/2008, -0/+8You are right. 2 kilo's of coke is nothing compared to what's coming into the country everyday.
- inactive, on 05/07/2008, -7/+15To be whores and drink their livers to death. Oh, and you forgot about the date rape. Lots and lots of date rape.
- Rojahon, on 05/07/2008, -2/+10There is a big difference between a blatantly aggressive act like murder and selling someone a substance in voluntary trade. I find the view that non-violent trade can justify violence against the traders to be quite offensive.
I by no means advocate the use of drugs (I don't even drink alcohol), but just because drugs can be hazardous to the user's health doesn't mean that the seller is at fault. The purchaser is at fault so long as the exchange is truly voluntary.
I could buy tons of toxic substances from my local Wal-Mart, but my resulting death from consuming those substances does not put Wal-Mart at fault. And, the intended use of a substance has no bearing on the issue. It might make drug dealers sleazy, but it doesn't make them aggressors. - Twohooves, on 05/07/2008, -0/+8ENGLISH, *****. DO YOU SPEAK IT?
- DteK, on 05/07/2008, -1/+9im betting there was more than 2 kilos of yay. They only "found" 2 kilos.
- Chompy, on 05/07/2008, -1/+9It's also a hell of a drug.
- inactive, on 05/07/2008, -1/+8as a member of this organization (at a different school) i'm shocked and chagrined. This news truly disrespects the name of Theta Chi. I know I won't change anyone's opinion about fraternity life but there truly are decent organizations.
You don't join a fraternity to buy friends anymore than you join a club or sports team to buy friends. Theta Chi has defined my college experience because of the quality gentleman that represent our chapter. What have we accomplished? Scholastic achievement, community service, and strong friendship bonds.
I'm hopeful that one day fraternities internationally begin to exemplify what it means to be a brotherhood of gentlemen. Maybe we will cease to have such a bad name to the public. Steven Spielberg is a Theta Chi... back me up on this steve! -
