They also apparently had a dozen high school students on the bus ... many of whom were drinking before the event!

After investigating a racist chant sung by Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity brothers on their way to an SAE Founders Day event, University of Oklahoma officials have concluded that members of the fraternity learned the words at a leadership event hosted by SAE’s national headquarters four years earlier.
The university found that the chant migrated to Oklahoma and had become “part of the institutionalized culture of the chapter” and its pledging process, implying that it was not a song belonging to a small number of people and instead was part of the fraternity’s recent traditions.

oops
BIG OOPSIE!!!
...and?
The Government can NOT punish them for something they said.
Odd that so many are comfortable with that.
I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part.
“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.”
I would be shocked if that was the case although they could have heard it from another chapter. We didn’t have official songs other than those openly published.
Most of our chapter songs were re-purposed rugby songs.
Stupid, drunkmfrat boys sing a rude and crude song. Makes front page story?! Terrorists chopping off heads gets less air time!
SAE was removed from my campus due to rapes a million years ago when I attended school. Any SAE’ers here who want to tell me one valuable thing about this fine organization?
As long as the mainstream culture permits the black race to say, sing, and do any racist thing they want, I won’t be even slightly perturbed by other races doing the same.
Oh for gawd’s sakes!! It was just a bunch of frat boys in a private matter.
BFD. Worry about something real . . . like Sharpton and his frequent visits to the WH, the racism in the WH and JustUs Dept. The looters of Ferguson. Racial quotas and pandering. Knockout Games. Disproportionate crime and violence, illegitimacy, underachievement in education and the workplace. These are your real divisive issues, not attempts to embarrass or silence First Amendment rights, esp those espoused in private.
Actions speak louder than words. No wonder this country is so divided. Get a life WaPo/MSM. You are in denial about the real racial problems in this country, and they aren’t being created by a bunch of juvenile chants.
We drive Porches,
We drive ‘Cedes,
All you’ve got
Are shady ladies!
Yeah! BIG time!!!
Probably took em’ two semesters to memorize it. Sheesh.... These goof balls have done a lot of damage to my university! We withstood football players firing automatic weapons off the balcony of the athletic dorm, the John Blake years, the one year with Schnelenberger, the BOZ on the cover of sports illustrated and on and on.... but these screwballs are trying to take it down...
Yes, because the worst possible crime that you can commit in today’s America is to be a white person saying something racist.
Murder, Pedophelia, Rape...meh, mere childs’ play compared to this.
Heard some jackball INSIST that this is evidence of systemic national ongoing racism in our country.
In my opinion, any “racism” they may be seeing is in response to the anti-white racism that became popular around the end of 2008.
Yep.... that’s where we are...
I don’t care where they learned it, I don’t care if everybody in the chapter knew about it. Its not illegal. Irritating, juvenile, racist and unappealing but not illegal. Dancing all around the issue does not change the facts. Its not illegal to be a racist/bigot or to be an obnoxious person in general.
Have legal charges been brought against the frat brothers?
