Fraternity Members Harass Wounded Vets

For six years Panama City Beach, FL, has hosted the Warrior Beach Retreat for wounded veterans and their families. This year attendees were harassed by Zeta Beta Tau fraternity members from University of Florida who were attending a spring prom at the resort. See an Associated Press story on the ABC News site.

Various reports say the frat brothers spat on the vets, stole their flags, and urinated on those American flags. The UofF chapter was already on probation for hazing offenses and will likely be banned from campus.

Needless to say, the national fraternity has indicated extreme displeasure with the alleged behavior. Their website states the organization was:
Founded in 1898 as the world's first Jewish Fraternity.
Groups of drunken young men are capable of almost anything gross and revolting.
