I agree with those who say most chapters have somewhat disparaging ditties about other groups. It's just one of those childish parts of the competitiveness of a Greek system. It's the classic "We're better than you" mentality.
Not knowing what to expect, I started watching the video before it was taken down and had to scramble to hit the pause button because my young son was in the room. The extremely crude language is a far bigger issue than the making a typical anti-other sororities song IMO.
No org, especially on the I/Natl level, wants to be identified with that sort of language or behavior. Once something is posted on the internet for the world to see, it becomes a reflection of I/Natl. Most, if not all GLO's have internet policies that specify internet postings should reflect positively on the members and I/natl and not be obscene. I'm not saying all sorority girls are Miss Prim 'n Proper, but this crossed the line big time.
