University of Okahoma-Sigma Alpha Epsilon-Racial Chant
I saw Nationals' reply to this story before I even heard of this. To say I am sickened and sadden by this is even just touching the surface. University of Oklahoma investigating video appearing to show fraternity members' racist chant http://www.tulsaworld.com/homepagela...093c7b4c5.html

Revoke the charter.
That's a start.

Brad Cohen @SAE_ESA_brad · 27m 27 minutes ago I know I speak for all when I say I'm disgusted and shocked by the video involving our @sae1856 chapter at Uof OK. They will be dealt with.

Make examples of them and kick them out of school.

Per Twitter, cops are now surrounding the OU SAE house.
http://t.co/MvesHm41rj
Maybe a good time for OU Panhellenic to expand ...
Update: SAE members moving out of the house under police protection due to death threats. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B_oRFj2UgAAmORp.jpg
Student demonstration planned on campus for 7:30am Monday.

Chapter closed, all members involved will be expelled from SAE. This is a HUGE chapter, probably around 200 members if I recall correctly. The police had to surround the house to protect members who were moving out from violent protesters. The house has been vandalized and I'm sure as soon as the cops or security people are gone, vandals are going to do some serious damage.
Local SAE alumni have been very vocal that this is being handled.
--btw, watch The Lost Ogle's blog for updates.. it beats the pants off of our local traditional journalism sites.

Honestly, anyone who was on that bus, be it a member of SAE or their dates should all be completely and utterly ashamed for their behavior. Regardless of whether they were singing along or not, to sit by and allow this to happen and not speak up, is reprehensible. It really saddens me to know that racism is still active and evidently something to chant and cheer about these days. Does this generation of millennial not have any moral compass? It's obvious that they are dumb as dirt to think that in this day and age of the internet and viral videos that behavior like this would go unnoticed.
What a bunch of douche canoes.

Seems *somewhat* broad a brush by the Fraternity. If there is a brother of the chapter who was home for the weekend (I'm talking on an ATM camera in Tulsa while this is going on), then removing his national membership in Sigma Alpha Epsilon doesn't seem right.

If you lie down with dogs, you're gonna get fleas. Even if Brother John at the ATM was not on this trip, I would doubt that this is the first time the chapter has acted in such a manner. You surround yourself with racist assholes, you risk being lumped in with them, racist or not. Then again, if you weren't a racist ass-hat, why WOULD you want to be a member of a fraternity that acts this way?
