Fraternity Is Offended
By Justin K. Davis

My name is Justin Davis, and I am the President and Co-Founder of Tau Sigma Lambda at Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville, AL. We are a professional student organization with the intentions of becoming a social fraternity. Our organization is based on the values of truth, service, and leadership.

Our former president, Trevor Myers, happened upon a link in a search engine that we found highly offensive. See for yourself if you are uncertain as to the subject of this email. http://www.tsl.pomona.edu/99/0507j/INDEX.HTML

I am sure that this article was meant as a joke, but I wish to inform you that I find it incredibly offensive, and I am sure all of my brothers would agree with me. We take pride in the letters that we wear because we stand for everything that a true fraternity should stand for. "Fraternity" by definition is a group of men bound together by common goals and interests. We are every bit of that. Your article may be a joke to you, but you have struck a nerve with myself and several of our brothers.

People have used search engines to find our website. They find out about us as a group through our website. Now they will also find your article when they try to find our website. This hurts our methods of recruitment.
