There are probably a couple of chapter members who are extremely embarrassed that they are "that racist frat". I can picture one of your bruhs going home for that weekend to see his fam, and then coming back on monday wondering why his chapter is featured on Yahoo News, and not for any good reason.
I feel as though your solutions or alternatives are much more constructive than a slap on the wrist, pocketbook, or charter. If the sigma chi chapter actually did something proactive to help out black people, or anyone who really needs help in the community, then they could probably learn something more than just outdated slang. They might actually put some thought into their future party planning and have those same BSU members jealous that they didn't think of it first.
It's probably a little too late for that situation to be perfectly smoothed over, but I balk more at the ignorance and not so much at the intent. I mean, the chapter had to have more than just the three people who apologized at the press conference. Like other posters have said, someone within the org should have proofread the facebook invites so that their event would seem both wild and classy at the same time.
Oh, and which season of "Real World" was that? God, I wished I had tried out for that show.

I understood completely the passion behind your feelings. Whenever I hear that a fraternity has done something wrong, my first thought is always: "Please don't let it be a Sigma Chi chapter. Please, not Sigma Chi!".
I think the 'Real World' season was set in Chicago, but might have been New York. The female was Coral, who has appeared on some of the RW/RR Challenges. I can't remember the AfricanAmerican male, and the white housemate was Mike(?). And, of course, he was a fraternity guy.
