“Double-secret probation” has been brought to an end at Georgia Tech.
The Phi Delta Theta fraternity is no “Animal House.” And Tech President Bud Peterson is no Dean Wormer. Nonetheless, it is safe to say that arguments over frat-house behavior and student justice rarely spill over into the holy confines of the state Capitol.
But that’s what’s happening. And the fraternity may be winning.
Last August, an African-American woman lodged a complaint against Phi Delta Theta, alleging that members of the fraternity shouted racial slurs at her from the windows of their campus house.
The fraternity denied that any such thing happened. It produced security video of the young woman walking by, unflinching. Windows from which the slurs were alleged to have been hurled had been sealed for years.
Even so, two months later, a Tech administrator in charge of student discipline placed the fraternity and its 100 or so members on “suspension in abeyance,” restricting its members to academic activities – no intramural sports, no socials — and requiring members to undergo sensitivity training as a condition for lifting the sanction.
No appeal was allowed, to either the Tech president or the state Board of Regents.
“Double-secret probation,” snarled Earl Ehrhart, a state representative from west Cobb County, who entered the picture shortly afterward.
We only got about a foot and a half of snow in our part of Virginia, and I'm still a little achy from yesterday's digging. Loudon County, northwest of where we live, got more than three feet in some places!

What feminists see, but cannot face, is that most women don’t want what they want. What feminists have learned, but refuse to accept, is that you can’t legislate desire.
There is Zero. Evidence. that women are being discriminated against en masse or that they’re being forced into fields that allow more flexibility as opposed to freely choosing them.
Do you think so little of women that you assume they don’t know what they want? If so, why do you want them in the boardroom?

That's some compelling imagery. On a happier note, sledding on Capitol Hill is legal again!
