This is similar to the Auburn chapter of Beta Theta Pi last year. They were the ones who were in Black face with the Omega Psi Phi jerseys, not the Klan hoods.
As many of you know they were suspended almost immediatly, and I was one of the first to condemn them. However as the facts have come out, the picture we see is one entirely different than what was originally thought. It turns out that the chapters of Beta and Omega Psi Phi are actually on really good terms. The chapters had exchanged jerseys previously, and the Beta Chapter had actually sponsored the Omega Chapter for colonization. The act of dressing as another race was also frequent at Auburn. Now this doesn't mean it was a good idea, but it demonstrates that sometimes the facts get skewed...

To Betarulz......
Within NPHC culture(and rules for some orgs), NO ONE WEARS ANOTHER ORGANIZATIONS LETTERS!!! That is unheard off!!
Not even an Omega Psi Phi's wife/sweetheart would wear the letters of her significant other. That is why I do not believe that story about the two orgs "exchanging jerseys".......
To all.....
Again, someone explain to me why is ir that when portraying someone of color, you must use darkened paint. WHY? WHY? WHY? I am sure that the darkened skinned did not make those men look anymore like Venus and Serena Williams. This mess sickens me, especially when some folks think we (AfAm) should be flattered.
Yeah, whatever!
