Excerpts from much longer article:

A group of American Indian students plans to file a discrimination complaint with UND’s affirmative action office Monday about a Gamma Phi Beta sorority party in November during which students dressed up in American Indian costumes and slathered their faces and bodies with red makeup. . . .

. . . Photos from the party were posted on the Facebook site of . . . the sorority’s current president, including one as her profile photo, visible to all Facebook users. . . .
I guess the red body paint was a bad idea...I've been to Indian Parties though. One of our fraternities has one every year. I don't know that that's so offensive unless there is some kind of negative stigma attached to it.

They should've just had cute indian princess costumes and left off the body paint.
