University of Alabama sorority slammed for 'racially-homogeneous' recruitment film
The Daily Mail ^ | 16 August 2015

A University of Alabama sorority has been slammed for their recruitment video which critics are saying is racially-homogeneous and lacks diversity.

Alpha Phi, who are based at the Tuscaloosa campus, uploaded the footage to YouTube and it has since been viewed 500,000 times.

But some have accused them of selling themselves on looks alone while one writer has said they are doing more damage to women than presidential candidate Donald Trump.

The very glossy and professional film includes the group of 72, mostly-white, members partying and attending events inside their sprawling sorority house.

Very professional, but too long and it got repetitive.

"So it’s illegal to be white?"

Not yet, but seemingly it is offensive to portray white people only having fun.

Personally, I think this video is stunning. The outcry is fed by jealousy.

You are correct.

As one commented on the site: "One reader also commented: 'Bad look for the University of Alabama in light of the issue of diversity of the Greek system'"

Bad look? Bad look? This video is anything but a "bad look".

Aren’t there all black sororities?

Do they even TRY to recruit whites or are they even allowed to pledge?

“Lacks diversity”—the greatest of all PC crimes. The next thing you know, people will start saying we should only import immigrants actually needed here, as opposed to masses of welfare recipients.

That is a great video to recruit men to sign up with the University of Alabama.

More than Donald Trump? Really?!? Just who are these "critics"? And the "homogeneous" video is "mostly-white"? What about those in the video who are not? How degraded do they feel by the "critics"? The sorority's next video should be modeled after the "Stump for Trump" vids, and be there to tell the "critics" to go ---- themselves.

If I tell my son, “That was dumb, even for you,” then I’m saying his behavior is generally dumb, but the current example is even more so than usual.

Thus, I understood the comment to mean that women in Alabama are generally attractive, but these are even more so.

We were on campus a week ago, and the girls vying for spots in the various sororities were oh so white. Out of the 200 or so young women who walked past us were about 5 black young ladies. They all, white and black and Asian, looked a bit silly with their flat sandals and baby doll nighties, I mean dresses. It was over 100 degrees with the heat index. A few years ago, I was there during Rush week, and the girls were wearing their skimpy dresses with spiked heals in the middle of a sweltering August day. They were having to trek across the now sprawling campus from the sorority houses to the new dorms which are a good distance across campus. I noticed last week that the girls are utilizing the campus bus system. When I was in school the sorority houses and women’s dorms were close together, and no white girl would get on a bus off campus or on.

That's exactly what I meant. Thank you.
