There is no justification for those two individuals doing what they did. Yet, as soon as they arrived at the party they were told to wipe the shoe polish off. Like I said, this whole situation has been blown out of proportion. Yes, I think it offended people, but the extreme measures that have been taken after the fraternity suspended the members and wrote an apology letter are completely uncalled for. Legal action, in my opinion, was not neccessary. The TWO individuals and the chapter members as a whole have received threats, for the total of two seconds that they had "blackface" on. Once again, action has been taken for those two individuals by the fraternity, I see no purpose in suspending the entire chapter. Clearly they've shown maturity in handling the matter as quickly as they did.
