Colonel Allen West spoke at a college, and a leftist hate mob chased them out. Security had to be called to quell the threats of violence. Unsurprisingly, police didn't arrest any of the rioters.

That's a good explanation for why conservative student groups continually try to express their political opinions in the face of hysterical leftist classmates. Either that or they still hold out hope for a return to intellectual freedom, which used to be the condition of student bodies.
College faculty have always been petty little tyrants who rage at any threats to their little fiefdoms, but this leftist hysteria on the part of students is a fairly recent thing. From around 1980 until around 2010, leftist agitators were a minority relegated to posting flyers on campus billboards. It's like people yearned for the SDS days and made idiotic demonstrations a part of the college experience, like Freshman Orientation Week.
I think it's mostly to show they're not cowed, and to show fellow conservatives that they're not alone.
