Martin Hall Inconsistencies

[RaginDave]

My favorite story about a celebrity and weed, was many years ago when former Boston Celtic Center Robert Parrish arrested for Marijuana possession, his response was I am 39 years old with shot knees and still playing in the NBA, yeah, you think I smoke weed.

I am kind of paraphrasing, but you get the point.

There is definitely a double standard. Take pot out of it. Let’s say a group of 15 students have a party at their rent house near campus and one gets drunk to the point he has to be rushed to the hospital. From a university stand point nothing happens to those kids discipline wise.

Now take that same situation. Group of 15 kids at a rent house and one is rushed to the hospital because he drank to much, but this group are members of PIKE, PKT, KA, SAE, Theta Xi, Sigma Nu, Lamar Chi, or Kappa Sigma..... Those organizations will be investigated and held responsible for the incident, even though it was at an off campus home.

They no doubt have double standards when it comes to disciplining students depending on who they are and what they are involved in.

If similar happened off campus with players from our football team or baseball team, there would likely be some discipline handed out by the coaches and a possible investigation.

Greeks are part of a school-sanctioned organization, just like our athletes are part of school-sanctioned teams. So if an event like that happens, yes, university personnel, whether coaches or administrators, would be involved in some fashion.

A group of kids who just attend school, school personnel would not get involved.

Thanks for proving my original point. There are double standards. I definitely see where the coach would get involved from athletic physical fitness stand point. But when 10 to 15 kids do something that is not a sanctioned event held by the fraternity, the other 40 to 60 are not responsible for their off campus actions.
