AN OHIO UNIVERSITY FRATERNITY HAS BEEN SUSPENDED AFTER A VIDEO
OF THEM CHANTING "SEND NUDES" MADE ITS WAY AROUND THE INTERNET.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE VIDEO.
SEND NUDES.
THEY WERE SAYING SEND NUDE TO THE TUNE OF THE SONG HEY JUDE,
MADE POPULAR BY THE BEATLES.
THE VIDEO WAS FIRST
TWEETED ON WEDNESDAY, WHICH SHOWS MEN STANDING ON THE PORCH
OF THE ALPHA DELTA PI HOUSE, CHANTING SEND NUDES.
APPARENTLY THIS FRATERNITY HAS A
REPUTATION ON CAMPUS.
IN AUGUST, THE OU STUDENT UNION
DISTRIBUTED A SO-CALLED DISORIENTATION GUIDE TO FRESHMEN
ON CAMPUS, AND THEY CALLED THE ACACIA FRATERNITY NOTORIOUS FOR
DRUGGING THEIR FREE DRINKS AND RAPING GIRLS.
THIS IS A PICTURE
OF THE DISORIENTATION GUIDE RIGHT HERE.
A ONLINE PETITION
CALLING FOR THE BAN OF THE
FRATERNITY GAINED OVER 1000 SIGNATURES, AND IT ALSO ALLEGED
THAT SOME GIRLSí DRINK GOT DRUGGED AT ACACIAS BLUE HOUSE.
THE CHAPTER IS CURRENTLY ON AN INTERIM SUSPENSION OF ALL
ORGANIZATIONAL ACTIVITY, MEANING THEY CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN
RECRUITMENT OR HOLD ANY EVENTS OR MEETINGS.
I AM GOING TO TAKE A
VERY CONTROVERSIAL STANCE ON THIS.
I THINK THIS IS BEING
BLOWN WAY OUT OF PROPORTION.
I THINK WHAT THEY DID IS A LITTLE
FUNNY, IT WAS TO THE TUNE OF HEY JUDE.
MAYBE THEY HAD SOME JOKE, THEY WEREN'T DOING ANYTHING THAT
WAS PARTICULARLY DEMEANING OR EGREGIOUS.
I WAS EXPECTING GOOD CROSSFIRE.
WE'VE GOT A BRO RIGHT
HERE, THE GUY WHO DOES THE SHOW BRO TIP.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M GOING TO AGREE WITH HANNAH ON THIS.
I WAS SO READY TO ATTACK HER.
I WAS LIKE, AS A BRO, AS A DUBIOUS
BRO ñ ONE OF THE THINGS THAT REALLY UPSET ME IS THE FACT THAT
EVERYONE FORGETS TO MENTION THAT THERE WERE ACCUSATIONS BEING
MADE TOWARDS THIS FRATERNITY, THE ACACIA CHAPTER IN OHIO
UNIVERSITY, AND THE SCHOOL RAN A COMPLETE CAMPUS WIDE
INVESTIGATION, AND THEY SAID YOU GUYS ARE COMPLETELY INNOCENT.
WE ALL WENT TO COLLEGE, THESE SORT OF THINGS HAPPEN IN COLLEGE
ALL THE TIME.
ANOTHER THING IS THAT THE STUDENT ORGANIZATION,
THAT MADE THE PAMPHLET WITH ALL OF THAT SLANDER AGAINST THE BLUE
HOUSE OF THE ACACIA HOUSE, WAS NOT AN OFFICIAL STUDENT
ORGANIZATION, AND THESE ARE ALL FACTS THAT HUFFINGTON POST
JUST KIND OF FORGOT TO MENTION IN THEIR ARTICLE, BECAUSE
THEY ARE TRYING TO PRESENT AN ARGUMENT, RATHER THAN
PRESENT A STORY IN AN UNBIASED MANNER.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU.
THEY SAID THEY WERE NOTORIOUS
FOR DRUGGING THEIR FREE DRINKS, AND LOOK, DRUGGING DRINKS IS
AWFUL AND HORRENDOUS, BUT THERE ARE FRATERNITIES WHO OBVIOUSLY
GET A REPUTATION FOR THIS.
IT IS CLEAR THAT SOMEBODY WAS
TRYING TO PIN THIS ON THEM AND GET THEM KICKED OUT.
I THINK THIS IS POOR JOURNALISM.
I'M REALLY SURPRISED, WE ARE ALL IN AGREEMENT.
HERE IS THE
DEAL, IF YOU HAVE PROOF THAT THEY DRUGGED ANY DRINKS THEN
WE'RE GOING TO GO COMPLETELY IN
THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
WE ARE ALL COMPLETELY AGAINST THAT,
OBVIOUSLY, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE PROOF.
IN THE CASE OF THE SONG.
THERE IS A SITUATION
WHERE IT COULD HAVE BEEN MORE HARASSING, LIKE IF THEY WOULDN'T
LET UP, AND THEY SURROUNDED THE HOUSE AND THEY FELT THREATENED.
BUT THAT IS NOT THE FACT PATTERN HERE.
THE FACT PATTERN HERE IS
THAT A BUNCH OF GOOFBALLS FROM A FRATERNITY GOT TOGETHER AND DID
THIS THING, SEND NUDES.
I DON'T KNOW, I FEEL LIKE THAT HAPPENS ON EVERY COLLEGE CAMPUS.
THEY ARE JUST SAYING WE THINK YOU ARE HOT.
OF COURSE THEY SAYING VULGAR THINGS, THEY ARE FRATERNITY.
THE FACT THAT THEY SUNG THAT TO THE
TUNE OF HEY JUDE, THAT PUTS
IT OVER THE TOP.
PARDON, NOT GUILTY.
IT'S FUNNY, IT'S CLEVER.
ABSOLUTELY.
IF YOU HAVE A BAD REPUTATION ON COLLEGE, KEEP THE VULGAR
SONGS ON YOUR PORCH.
WE WOULD DO THIS, WE HAD A SIGN THAT
WOULD SAY '10' WHEN GIRLS WALKED BY.
WE ALSO HAD A SIGN THAT
SAID, FATHERS BRING US YOUR DAUGHTERS.
DID YOU?
WE HAD A CONTROVERSIAL STORY ABOUT THAT.
WAY TO TAKE A STORY ABOUT FRATERNITIES WHERE WE ACTUALLY
WERE ON THEIR SIDE AND FLIP IT.
YOU'RE WELCOME, THIS IS WHAT I'M HERE FOR.
LET'S TAKE A QUICK BREAK HERE.
WHEN WE COME BACK, A
WOMAN WHO IS, I GUESS, AN INSTAGRAM CELEBRITY, DOES
SOMETHING SURPRISING.
DO WE RESPECT HER FOR IT?
COME BACK
AND FIND OUT.
BACK ON THE YOUNG TURKS.
I'VE GOT A BUNCH OF COMMENTS FROM
FIRETALK.COM TO FIRETALK.COM/THEYOUNGTURKS.
"BUT ALCOHOL IS COMPLETELY SAFE, UNLIKE MARIJUANA."
REFERRING TO
THE UBER GUY LOSING IT WHEN HE WAS DRUNK.
"I WONDER IF BRO-TIP
DOES THE SAME INAPPROPRIATE
THINGS IN THE BACK OF AN UBER THAT I DO WHAT I AM DRUNK,
CRYING AND RIPPING APART A ROTISSERIE CHICKEN WITH MY BARE
HANDS."
NOT IN AN UBER, BUT I HAVE DONE EXACTLY THAT WHEN DRUNK.
I HAVE NEVER CRIED WHEN DRUNK.
"IF THIS FRATERNITY IS
DRUGGING AND RAPING GIRLS, THEY NEED TO GET PROOF, SHUT THAT FRAT
DOWN, AND PERSECUTE THE RAPIST.
HOWEVER, SINGING THAT STUPID
SONG IS NOT REALLY A BIG DEAL.
