Surely, Joshua from Sigma Nu was (or is) an immature jerk when he appeared on The Price Is Right. But I think you’re wrong in condemning all of Sigma Nu — which, like our own Lambda Chi, is a great fraternity with a strong past and noble traditions.

OK, so this particular Sigma Nu doesn’t speak well for his fraternity. Can any of us truly say that there aren’t some Lambda Chis among the many thousands of living brothers who aren’t also immature jerks?

We all grow up — some faster than others. Let’s hope Joshua reaches his maturity before he does something even more foolish. But let’s not condemn an entire fraternity because of the actions of one stupid brother. May heaven help us if others judge all of Lambda Chi Alpha because of something one immature brother did in public!
