I don't think the intent was to be offensive because they probably did not discuss the offense factor. However, the outcome is the only thing people can go based on since we can't be 100% certain of the intent beyond what we are told.
I think the Sigma Chis should be told how the combination of elements COULD BE offensive and told to be more careful in the future. Perhaps a verbal warning of sorts but with an educational spin. I don't think any other action is necessary because the point, when people unintentionally offend, is to educate and not to punish.
