Sex on the Roof and the Consequences

How can I not comment on this?

In case you live under a rock and don’t know what I’m talking about or haven’t seen the photos, go here. I have no idea what they were thinking. If you’re going to have sex on the roof, do it at night when you won’t get caught. And if they wanted to get caught, I don’t know how anyone could believe that it would end any way but horribly.

I’m more interested in the consequences and what happened afterwards. Not for that Kappa Sig or for that particular house (they are slowly destroying themselves), but for the Greek system at USC. From what I have heard from various sources is that the Row is on an unofficial social probation. DPS will be cracking down significantly on any social function held on weekdays, more so than ever before.

Many are saying that this afternoon delight that occurred last week was the “straw that broke the camel’s back” and was among many other Greek related problems going on—that’s why the entire Row is being punished.

I think that this is ridiculous. The entire Greek community should not be punished for the actions of a few individuals, especially when being Greek had nothing to do with this recent situation- nor did Kappa Sigma endorse what happened. In this same way, one could ask, why isn’t the administration punishing all USC students with brown hair because this individual also has brown hair? Obviously this is an exaggeration, but it proves my point.

It’s not fair and the USC administration is using the Greek system as an escape-goat to deter worse publicity. I definitely don’t condone the other things that have happened lately-- especially that email from Kappa Sigma which was very messed up—but it’s not right to punish those of us who are proud of our school, behave respectively, and just want to have fun during the week.
