does it surprise anyone that a random group of black men not attending PSU would be fighting with students??...what the article failed to mention was that the black male inside 28 beekman was looking for pot in the room he was trying to break into. what in the hell is happening to plattsburgh. let's keep the big city drama (drugs, guns, knives, etc.) in the big citys.

I feel that almost all fraternities and sororities are a disgrace to this campus. The attention that they get for their good deeds is always over shadowed by their lack of propriety and disdain for the rules. This is just further an example that the Greek life office has no control over any of its organizations, due to favoritism and exclusivity shown to specific groups and people.

if a frat house gets repeated calls during a semester for disorderly conduct and/or disturbing the peace the college should shut the fraternity down. period.

Fun Fact: Beta is awful. There was a 40 person brawl at their house two weekends ago. Cops showed up. No one got in trouble.

Let me just start by saying that I am ashamed to see an article reported in C.P. in such a one sided manner. In any situation there is more than one side to a story, and quite frankly i would not be shocked if, based on this reporting, the writer himself was affiliated with AXP.
Did cardinal points just serve as a portal for AXP's press release for damage control?

The other young men have their names printed in this article -- which would come up in a simple google search-- and they were not even given the chance to defend themselves or tell their side of the story like Correra was.

On another note, the article is working so hard to keep race relations out of the incident, so why would you state "one group consisting of AXP fraternity members and the other consisting of black males" Is this implying that AXP fraternity members cannot be black males? or that black males just always "approach violently"

Let's think a little further into our reporting and keep some journalistic integrity when we are reporting on stories that can seriously impact the public perception of youth. This is not TMZ or some gossip column, its an award winning college newspaper, so when we put reporters on stories like this, i think they should consider getting the whole story before printing.
