Perhaps the people in the OP story were not as stupid and extreme as other parties but this is still a good time to remind people of this article:

No disrespect to white people but I am not shocked when white college students have these parties (and take photos). I am shocked when nonwhite college students participate in the parties and photos. The photo of the women (I assume a sorority chapter) and there are nonwhite sorority women smiling like idiots---that grates my nerves. Perhaps it is an example of people so happy to be accepted and assimilated as "white enough" that they will do anything to prove they are not an Other.
The Omega-mockery photo is horrible but it still makes me chuckle. How dare they.
