Immature Behavior

To the Editor: In his letter to the editor in the March 6, 2001 issue of The Dartmouth, Mr. Nilanjan Banerjee '00 seems to miss the point. Mr. Banerjee touts the fraternity/sorority/co-ed system as a hotbed for diversity, and I must say, this is one of the first times I've heard that argument (and I'll blindly take that as a positive sign of change). But we free-thinking and compassionate human beings would agree that if a brother or group of brothers were outside directing a stream of threatening comments to a group of people, that this is clearly not them expressing their culturally diverse points of view --- it is one group threatening or insulting another group, plain and simple. Don't deny it or excuse it. It's outright immature behavior, and when this kind of thing happens at my alma mater, I am really embarrassed.
