What is the Standard?

Fraternity Rush week. For a fraternity member, one of the most stressful times of the year. For a freshman rushee, one of the craziest and drunkest weeks of their lives. After an event collapsed for my fraternity due to a total lack of communication/getting fucked over by the venue, myself along with 5 other brothers took it upon ourselves to take our top recruits to indulge in the wonderful world of strippers. Jaguars Gold Club. Hot women, big boobs, and expensive lap dances. Being strip club virgins, every freshman guy was in awe. They had never seen anything like it. Women willing to throw their naked bodies on you for an excessive amounts of money (one of which informed me she was paying for SMU Grad School by working there which I found extremely hysterical. I am glad we are accepting the cream of the crop people to represent our academics). After dropping around $700 in a matter of 45 minutes (and about 10 or so lap and private dances in the bag) we called it a night. After the night, we had verbal commitments from each and every one of the rushee's to pledge the fraternity. A night, that I considered a success. 2 weeks has passed since the close of rush, and I was informed after our chapter meeting tonight that I was being brought in front of our standards board to discuss the "lewd" acts that I participated in during rush. These "lewd" acts were obviously referring to the stripclub that I visited during rush. They sat me down, and drilled me with questions about the night. After the questioning was over, I waited while they deliberated over their final verdict. They then proceeded to sit me down, and reem me for my actions of rush. I was told that it was an assumption by the fraternity that we hold ourselves to a "higher standard" and that we as a chapter do not use strippers as a recruitment tool. HAHA. I almost bursted out laughing at the thought that our standards board (the group that is supposed to set the standard for the fraternity) was actually thinking about punishing me based on an assumption. We all know never assume because it makes an ASS-out of U-and-ME. I came to the realization that their argument had no credibility whatsoever. My rebuttal, was that we as fraternity had bars rented out each day for rush, and served alcohol to minors underage--something that is ILLEGAL. I was involved in an event that was perfectly LEGAL. So where do you draw the line on what is the standard? They proceeded to sit on their high horses and not go back on their initial argument, knowing that they had no credible line of reasoning. They punished me with a fine, and a form of social probabtion. It blows my mind of the ignorance and idiocracy that members of our executive board tend to practice. The double standard that is upheld shows me that our elected officers care more about themselves and sticking to their rash and foolish decisions rather than promoting the standards for conduct. I really am tempted to get my lawyer involved.
