Columbia Sorority Criticized for Offensive Olympics Party

The Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority at Columbia University apparently doesn't read the news about what happens when Greek students dress up in racial stereotypes and post photos on social media.

Facebook photos show Kappa Alpha Theta members dressed like Mexicans and other nationalities

Pass the fritos (instead of popcorn), I'm settling-in for the blast...

One weird thing: the Thetas' allegedly Mexican-stereotype pic seems oddly similar to the pic that was the springboard to getting Chi O at Penn State closed by its HQ. I wonder what sanctions or requirements, if any, may be placed on the Columbia Thetas?

A few more details and an apology issued by the Theta chapter at Columbia -- see:

Dear Certain White People:

*putting down my 40-ounce and Popeye's 2-piece wings and biscuit*

Stop it. Quit embarrassing the plethora of white people who aren't idiots.

Sincerely,
Secretary for the Weekly Black People Meeting

Love this.

I think this is just further evidence that none of these students keep up with current events or the news. How hard would it be to avoid the embarrassment of repeating other chapters stupid mistakes like dressing up as ethnic groups and ending up on national TV then losing your charter? Apparently it is too hard to simply think things through and see that these events may not be in your best interest or to use the Golden Rule when planning events.

Awesome.

*raises glass of watermelon moscato* here her.. I mean, troo.
