[May 4, 2024] In one of the most unexpected turn of events in recent days on college campuses, the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity brothers at UNC Chapel Hill took action to save the American flag from Nazi kill-the-Jews “protestors.” When I attended Texas Tech, we had fun with those in fraternities; maybe we were jealous since none of… Read More »
