Not here for a debate, not trying to stir up anything. Knowing that the Commandant frequents this page and interacts, I'm just curious as to the course of action for the involved parties for using the Corps stack.

Currently under investigation.

Cadets policed the signs up after reports came in about them, and the university now has this for action. Signs were degrading to the Corps, fraternities, non-regs, women, and Aggies as a whole, and upset a lot of people - especially cadets, because the Corps Stack logo was used on all the signs.

The university is looking into the matter at this time, and will hopefully find out who did this and why.

These non-Aggies...

self-centered, narcissistic and cowards for doing it anonymously.

Previous, but not all, articles written have been in the right context and appropriate use of satire.

They went 0-100 real quick.

I think people are overreacting a bit to a harmless prank and there is some truth to the signs that highlight the tension between the Corps and frats that will likely always be there. I think a large portion of former or current CT's would be lying if they said they didn't, at some point, have an anti-frat attitude/mentality. Maybe not to the extreme that the signs depict but to some degree. Just my 2 cents.

Mugdown is trying to make a name for themselves by being controversial. They try way to hard to be like the onion, but I have never really thought they were funny. While the signs are dumb, I don't really feel like they should be taken seriously.

Unfortunately some people took great offense to the signs, and immediately blamed the Corps because the Corps Stack logo was used on all the signs. Once the Mugdown claimed responsibility for the signs, things have calmed down quite a bit.

I think people are over reacting to this.

Just because people are offended, I don't think its any grounds for pursuing any kind of official action.

it is satire, it is meant to offend people, maybe some people think it is in poor taste, but it is what it is.

Also, they did come out and say, "Hey, it was us, and this is why."
