Because when in doubt, run a piece that will shine an ugly light on what should be one of the city's prize jewels

A+

Especially if its a non story to begin with.

Shouldn't this be in Around the Hilltop? Wonder how many of the 53 in the incoming class were athletes. Like to see what the numbers look like if you take away those on athletic scholarships. That would give a better indicaton of how good or bad the situation really is imo.

Guess what people, rap music is the preferred music of the majority of teenagers and college students......black, white, brown, etc.

Survey college athletes, especially football players, black and white, and the percentages go up even higher.

No different at TCU, Texas, Michigan, USC, or Abilene Christian.

and how is that relevant?

....because they seem to be saying that these are white, SMU fraternity racists; instead of white, SMU fraternity fans of rap music.

No?

No. Had nothing to do with the music.

Careful, you're gonna have the SJWs pounding your door down. There are no bad tactics, just wrong targets.

It is generally viewed as a prize jewel for the rich isn't it?

D’Marquis Allen, a Southern Methodist University senior, spotted the party invitation on Facebook at 3:47 a.m. on a Tuesday in October. Two predominantly white fraternities planned to throw “the most savage banger in SMU history.”

The post pictured a black rapper biting a gold chain. His sunglasses reflected a fistful of cash and a woman’s scantily clad backside. “Bring out your bling, jerseys, and inner thug,” the invitation read.


........has nothing to do with music?

You think they were 'bangin' some Luke Bryan, Dierk Bentley, and Kenny Chesney at this party!

It was the image the issue. They are suppose to be raising money boys and girls club who help kids try to not become thugs and they were promoting the image at their party. ASU did the same thing and they stopped it there as well. But the thread here got so bad that the mods had to delete it.

53 Freshman.

Lets say half are female. Leaving about 27 black males entering this past freshman class.

15 of those 27 are athletes...leaving 12 as "regular" students.

No other 'subpopulation' works like that at SMU.

SMU, like many private D1 football peers, allows the Football and Basketball coaches to recruit 30% of the black males students.

SMU needs to become as attractive for high achieving non-white students as it is for high-achieving white students
