I clicked through some links and found a "Sorority Hall of Shame" thing - and while it's been awhile since I was actively involved as an active or alumna, I do have to say that I am sad and ashamed at the blatant racism. In this day and age. Really surprising to me. I just can't imagine being in a group of people -- even when I was 18/19/20 -- and thinking yes, going to that party in blackface is a hilarious idea! Breaks my heart a little, and I won't excuse that kind of egregious behavior with the folly of youth.
