They were dressing up as rappers. More than likely, they probably had no idea what a minstrel show was.
while they might not know what a minstrel show is, unless they were in a coma the last 3 years, everyone heard about the Auburn case and the subsequent cases around the country of white fraternity members dressed up in blackface. in all the cases, negative publicity followed for the fraternity and the school. the obvious lesson would be-hey, don't dress up in blackface. it's a bad idea. but, in the south theses guys have the idea that they are untouchable. that daddy will hire a lawyer and make it go away.

some even try to invoke the constitution to protect their insensitivity. but when you attend a publically funded school and seek membership in organizations that have anti-discrimination clauses, you voluntarily forfeit some of those rights.
