You've all heard the saying, "one bad apple spoils the whole damn bunch." Well, there is a whole bushel of bad apples in the fraternity system. The FIJI chapter at the University of Texas is the latest to take a once great tradition and drag it through the mud.

Phi Gamma Delta frat members (AKA FIJIs) are accused (and there are pictures) of holding some kind of "Border Control" party, which portrayed some offensive Hispanic stereotypes.

Let's keep in mind these are college students. They knew exactly what they were doing and, when they eventually apologize, it won't be because they're sorry about what they did; it will because they're sorry they got caught.

I put the blame in two places for this.

First, there are the a--hole frat boys who think they're better than an entire class of people and politicians. Sharing the blame are politicians who have pumped Texas so full of hyperbole about "threats to our safety" and other nonsense that we view anybody from down south as the enemy.

Texas and Mexico were once the same. We're always going to share a heritage. More than 1 in 3 Texans are Hispanic, and to spit on their culture is to spit on OUR culture. I think these kids take these perceived threats as a green light to bag on an entire culture.

A lot of people will say, 'hey, you can't let one bad group drag the whole system down.' But how many incidences do we have to see before we realize the system is rotten? Most frats these days are just gangs in better clothes.

While we all have a big laugh at the University of Texas for this latest embarrassment, let's remember that a Texas Tech frat had an event that was equally offensive to women last year.

I hope at the very least that the University of Texas higher-ups suspend every last little punk that thought it was OK (or funny, or clever) to be a part of this racist event.

Now, if you're reading this and in a fraternity, don't get all red-faced and start typing an angry response. Instead, get your frat out there doing community service and making a good name for yourself. It's up to YOU, not us, to make the very word "fraternity" a good thing again.
