I completely understand how blackface is construed by most as racially offensive.

That said, the actions of a member, or even the group are no reason to shut down a chapter -- especially from the school's point of view. The school's job is to make sure everyone is physically safe while getting a good education. Becoming the anti-offensive material police goes a bit beyond the scope of what they ought to be focusing on.

Now, if Pi Kappa Phi's HQ feels the need to step in here, terrific -- by all means -- do so. Otherwise, there should be no consequences whatsoever for this or any other act which stops at being only offensive.
