Anderson Cooper had this on his Ridiculist last night. I don't agree with his constant use of "frat" and his perceived tone regarding Greekdom but I can get over it for the larger point.

This is one symptom of a much larger problem here. It's cultural and dressing up in racially offensive dress and posting it on Facebook is not the only thing happening. A kid died of alcohol poisoning not too long ago. This is just an example of an out of control culture.
Some national organizations, TKE, in particular, at least in my experience take a pretty hands-off approach to out-of-control chapters. As to my organization, we shut down our chapter there in April of 2012, probably after noting the cultural issues, with plans to reopen in 2016.
I've seen first-hand what good can come from shutting down a chapter and rebuilding it with a more values-based approach. As an organization, we've had a lot of success with that.
But to say this is just a racial thing isn't accurate. It's bigger than that.
