Incidents are examined in prevalence when there is a pattern of occurrence. It is easy to predict and detect racially themed parties with and without social media. Even a Greekchat search for "racially themed patterns" reveals how these parties are more common than they should be and that includes MLK parties.
TKE is not the only fraternity (or white people in general) across the country that has done one of these parties.

I think if you want to know why this continues to occur, look at the comment section of the USA Today article about ASU shuttering the chapter. There are many racist people commenting that feel justified due to one or another slight that they list. I'll call their complaints "reverse racism" as it's what they used to lump all those complaints under. Anyway, some fraternities have always liked to push the taste edge to purposefully be controversial. Apparently they have found this to be very successful in that endeavor. TKE at ASU did a bang up job at it and some of their students may even get expelled. Actions have consequences.
