I think the best we can take from this is a life lesson for sorority and fraternity members everywhere. Unfortunately, the first take away is don't post things that will get your arse in a vice, when it should be don't be racist. But young girls who may well have gone to very white schools in affluent neighborhoods may be too oblivious to the world around them to even know that this sort of behavior is racist. Not saying this crap is step 1 toward not thinking it. And then you might also work on your chapter diversity so that you will be aware that your actions are hurtful.
It's hard for me to imagine someone growing up in America without knowing any people of Hispanic descent but they may be too oblivious to know that Suzie Sanchez or Rodriguez might be Hispanic. I mean, she doesn't sell drugs at all!
As I see it, this is not a legal issue. It was offensive, but I don't think crosses the line to hate speech. This is a sorority matter and I'm sure Chi Omega will deal with it accordingly.
And kateee, if you are not a sorority member, you should not have sorority letters in your signature line. It is bad form and will not bode well for you in your future rush.
