The University of Central Florida has suspended its Sigma Nu fraternity and will pursue a Title IX investigation over a recording where several members can be heard chanting about rape and promoting sexual assault.
Multiple Sigma Nu fraternity members can be heard making graphic and disturbing comments, like "let's rape some bitches," "we're raping some bitches" and "we're gonna rape 'em, who cares." Knight News obtained the uncensored video of the June 9 incident from a source close to the investigation.

Sigma Nu officials received copies of recordings from the UCF police department. The words used by people in the recordings are disrespectful, despicable and vile. The Fraternity and University are investigating the recordings. Following the completion of the investigation, the Fraternity will take action as may be appropriate.

While Sigma Nu will probably investigate this and take action, if merited, quickly, UCF needs to let Sigma Nu act or they may find themselves on the business end of a lawsuit. I really don't like that these schools think that Title IX somehow trumps the First Amendment.
The ACLU has a nice FAQ on the subject.
