A university of Connecticut investigation into a confrontation between white fraternity students and women belonging to a black sorority is regaining momentum after new allegations about the incidents were raised at a recent student community meeting.
The September incident involving a rock-painting dispute has already resulted in a one-month suspension and continuing probation for the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity for "intimidation and bullying," according to UConn officials.
But at a Nov. 10 meeting at the university's African-American Cultural Center, the adviser to the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority made new allegations that fraternity members used racial and sexist slurs during the September confrontation. Members of Pi Kappa Alpha (known as PIKE) have denied making any racial comments.
UConn spokeswoman Stephanie Reitz said the comments made at that meeting prompted administration officials to "ask for more information from the various parties" involved in the original incident. Reitz said the university has been told that AKA plans to file an appeal of the administration's decisions concerning sanctions against the PIKE fraternity. According to Reitz, the deadline for appeals by parties involved in the dispute has been extended until Nov. 21.

You're either African or you're American.
And if you're African, then your cultural center belongs in Africa.
When I was younger I used to wonder why a lot of black guys pursued white women over black women, now that I’m a little older I know why.
white women are prey for black men...
Okay.....I'll bite. Why?
Given past history I would bet the charges of sexist and racist comments are false or this is some sort of microaggression charge.
why didn’t you at least post the part with the allegations?
This is a subscription site so we can’t actually read the article.
in this day and age i’m sure there are numerous videos of the confrontation taken with people’s cell phones. let’s see and hear what happened. else i tend to disbelieve. put up or shut up
In my “limited” experience some (not all) black women can be, let’s just say, a little difficult to deal with. So can other races of women you say? It’s just not the same.......Just my 2 cent.
too bad fraternities have such a horrible reputation......they could clean it up, but they don't, so they are fair game for people to attack them.
Yeah, I can’t remember ever seeing a white chick throwing a table at somebody. I have had a couple of black women threaten me with physical violence though.
well, the good news is that those guys are now republican voters.
It’s like those Black Caucus members who got heckled in front of the Capital; they claimed racial epithets were thrown (spit too, iirc) then cell phone video came out showing nothing of the sort.
Defensive use of video technology, to provide an authoritative record in the face of accusations, is nothing new.
I dont have a subscription and read the whole long story.
Of course, Kevin Ollie (UConn's men's basketball coach) lives in Glastonbury.
"Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America."
exactly. the allegations get out before any evidence supporting them ever gets out. and with all the fake racism events on colleges of late, one greets this with some skepticism.
“A black sorority”...
If you want to isolate yourself racially don’t be surprised when others do the same.
