About the Tiger Brotherhood…I’ve seen that they wear necklaces around their necks with boxes on the end of it…what’s in the box? or is that a secret

For anyone interested in the truth consider the following facts:

1) Sources are disgruntled Clemson employees whose motives are questionable. There has been no attempt by any of the sources or this site to validate the claims.

2) Chain of title to real estate exists in public records. Closing documents are signed at lawyers offices then filed with the county for everyone to see. This alleged conspiracy to hide the public records would involve attorneys, banks, title agents, and public officials across all of these supposed transactions. Quite an impossibility to erase all of these transactions from public record.

3) Per Greenville Online, other news sources, and public record, Clemson Academic Ventures owns the educational support facility that is being built for the benefit of the Bridge Program students and staff. It has nothing to do with the residences so any claim to that effect further proves that these accusations are simply false rumors started by ignorant sources with the intent of stirring up controversy.

4) As for claims that the requiring Bridge Students to live at Highpointe is somehow illegal consider the fact that they have been required to live at their current residences for the last three years of the program and have simply outgrown the housing there hence the need to move to Highpointe. Similarly, Clemson freshman are required to live on campus. The intent is to provide a structured environment with live-in RA’s and staff to ensure Bridge Students are able to successfully transfer to Clemson as sophomores. It is a proven transfer system and the Bridge program is a win-win for the students and the institutions involved.

This must be a joke. I have been laughing ever since reading this article. It is so ridiculously absurd it is actually funny. The author of this article must literally have the IQ of a mouse. Tiger Brotherhood had absolutely nothing to do this alleged scam, and furthermore there is no scam. The members of this “skull and bones” style secret society discussed it at a december meeting. So what? I am sure that everyone who hears or reads about the scam discusses it and talks about it, does that mean they are involved in it too? Can they not talk about whatever they want to talk about? And who are these “sources” that are spoken of so much? Just because President Barker is a Member of the organization doesnt mean the organization should be blamed for something they nor President Barker had absolutely nothing to do with. And the whole alleged “scam” is completely false. At least we all know one news source that has made a complete joke out of itself now. No wonder nobody had ever heard of FITSNews before this dumb article came out.

This may be one of the dumbest articles I’ve ever read and the fact it’s written by a coot makes it all the funnier. I would love to know the nature of these sources (they probably aren’t even in Clemson) or what documents have supposedly been “dissapearing”. I don’t know much about the situation but if I was about to be in the Bridge program I’d be ecstatic knowing that I’d be living in Highpointe as opposed to Heritage. Wish they could have put me there freshman year. And if one Clemson adminstrator owns a condo there who cares? As long as a Bridge kid isn’t living it that one condo what does it matter? People must really be bored if they are taking an interest in this crap.

I have limited knowledge of County Government web site information, but it would be easy to confirm the status of property ownership by taking the time to check actual courthouse records. It would only be respectful to report the findings so that we can put this issue to rest.

Tater Brotherhood is as sinister as the mafia. Their permanent state of orange Kool-Aid induced drunkeness makes me sick.

Don’t confuse folks with the facts. He can’t handle the truth.

Any records will be at the Register of Deeds office. It’s impossible for anyone to “remove” such records. If folks had anything, it would be in the public records. folks hasn’t produced squat (which seems to be the story of his life) so it must not be true. Figures…
