GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- The University of Florida is investigating allegations that members of the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity spat at a group of disabled military veterans last weekend at a resort in Panama City Beach.
In an email to Linda Cope, the founder of the Warrior Beach Retreat at Laketown Wharf Resort, University of Florida President Kent Fuchs called the behavior unacceptable and promised a full investigation.
The incidents were reported to Fuchs by Cope and others who witnessed the fraternity members spitting at the veterans and stealing their flags. Fuchs said the school is making every effort to learn what happened and take appropriate action.
The Gainesville Sun reports the fraternity is currently on conduct probation for a hazing incident in the fall semester. The fraternity has suspended operations and is cooperating with the investigation.

Who ever thought this was a good idea?
Disgusting.
Group mentality makes morons. Frats are just acquired friends anyway. Their traditions are boring and lame.

"You're out! Finished at Faber! Expelled! I want you off this campus at 9 o'clock Monday morning. And I've reached out to your draft boards and told them you were all, all eligible for military service"
Seriously, it sounds like there were a few people who deserved an ass kicking. Too bad the resorts private security force didn't say "And we're just the ones to do it"
I've been drunk
But there's nothing I can conceive of that would make behavior of this sort even imaginable to anyone I know.
What these guys needed was to be seen and then beaten to a bloody pulp, so that they remembered their transgression and never repeated it.
I try not to judge based on headlines, since every story has two sides, but this sounds pretty damning since there were witnesses. surprised there is no video.
The rest of what I have to say is unprintable because too soon and what the fuck.
INDEED!!!
