I think suspention is the only thing that will happen. I was researching what happened to greeks in the past that did this and this is what I found...
SOME PAST BLACKFACE INCIDENTS
* Emory University: A member of Kappa Alpha fraternity was photographed
wearing blackface at a 1998 Halloween party. The photograph appeared in the
university's 1999 yearbook, angering many black students.
* George Mason University: In 1991, a member of Sigma Chi fraternity
appeared in blackface during an "ugly woman" skit at a campus fund raiser.
The university suspended Sigma Chi for two years, but the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ruled in 1993 that the skit was protected by
the First Amendment and nullified the penalty.
* Shawnee State University: In 1993, two female students wore blackface to
a women's basketball practice the night before the team played a
predominantly black college. The students, both athletes, were suspended
from participating in sports at the university. In addition, all athletes
were required to attend sensitivity training.
* State University of West Georgia: In 1997, members of the Kappa Alpha
fraternity appeared in a skit wearing blackface to mimic the Jackson 5. The
university required those involved to attend a sensitivity seminar.
* Texas A&M University: In 1992, the university fined Sigma Alpha Epsilon
fraternity $1,000 after it held a "jungle party" in which students painted
their faces black and wore grass skirts.
* Texas Tech University: At a 1992 event called "Party in the Projects,"
members of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity wore blackface and Afro wigs.
Texas Tech placed the fraternity on deferred suspension through 1994, which
meant Pi Kappa Alpha was forbidden from accepting new members or sponsoring
social activities.
* University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa: "Who Rides the Bus?" was the theme
of a 1991 campus mixer held by the Kappa Delta sorority. Two members wore
blackface and stuffed basketballs under their shirts to simulate pregnancy.
About 1,000 students and faculty members held a silent march in protest.
