A sorority at the beleaguered University of Oklahoma has come under fire over its involvement in the racist chant by the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity over the weekend. The Delta Delta Deltas have been identified as the sorority members on a chartered bus when frat brothers started singing 'there will never be a n**** in SAE.' At least one female student can be seen in the video. She appears to raise her cell phone to record the incident. Her date, however, can be seen clapping to the song. It is also believed that female voices can be heard cheering on the racist fraternity brothers.

“Seems several top OU football recruits have decommitted because of this”
I’m sure most of those recruits were also looking to rush SAE? lol!!
>>I would suggest that anytime a White Student hears a black person playing RAP or Singing to RAP or merely listening to RAP, they should record it and file a Formal Complaint of Racism and Sexism.<<
Right on!
I watched “The Kelly File” delve into this incident last nite. Kelly was sooooo concerned about these frat boys’ racism. I kept waiting for Kelly to ask the fair and balanced question to the concerned black student, such as: “When would it be appropriate for you, as a black man, to label another black person as racist? Well, as you might imagine, that didn’t happen - only hand wringing from Kelly.
This garbage SHOULDN’T rate as a big deal.
But since the powers that be are making it a big deal, it is one.
Before “they” are done, these boy’s lives will be destroyed, unless they bow down, apologize publicly, and attend reeducation camp.
We should take this seriously not because of the stupid behavior, but because of the ridiculously overblown reaction.
Unless you are black, you no longer have free speech. That is what this means. It will only get worse.
If they had actually lynched someone, the frat boys would have gotten better due process.
As far as I know, the university pres just saw a vid of folks being insulting and immature and therefore kicked them out.
So who’s civil liberties are being violated here?
I grew up hearing “Ennie meanie money mo, catch an N word by the toe”
If I heard my kids using that phrase, I would have a fast conversation about why that is not appropriate in today’s world.
In fact, when my odd were little my wfe and I heard them using “tiger by his toe” and we both looked at each other and chuckled a little bit. Not that we LIKED the old phrase, but because it was an example of how times have changed.
Don’t these kids have parents with an ounce of common sense?
TriDelts ...
Delta Delta Delta, can I help ya, help ya, help ya?
“I wonder if the University has a BAN on Rap Music? “
Great point.
CNN.com is reporting on one decommit.
But they’re actually saying that, given other offers he’s rec’d a decommit was likely anyways. Inferrence is the frat controversy is just a pretext.
I kept waiting for Kelly to ask the fair and balanced question to the concerned black student
So was I, rather disappointing. Just remember FOX news isn’t really conservative, they just sell conservatism.
As we used to say in my college days:
“Tri-Delts... everybody else has...”
“I wonder if the University has a BAN on Rap Music? Do they PUNISH those that listen to RAP Music?? Have they shut down any other Fraternities for merely Playing RAP Music??”..
Do they ban black basketball players as well?
And before cell phone videos.
That right is not limited to any class of free persons; is no more applicable to Whites than Blacks; to men or women; to native born, immigrants or foreign guests.
That the media have nothing better to report on, than stories like this, demonstrates once again the lack of emotional or logical balance in the media. The compulsion for uniformity of thought is the greatest threat to personal liberty.

Nice try gooner. The president of the OSU chapter of SAE is black.
Mission statements and national reputation can often be radically different.
You still have free speech, but speech is sometimes followed by consequences.
So is the SAE chapter in question at OU or OSU? I’m so confused.
So did I. The black student she interviewed set a commendable example by declining to express hatred for the whites involved, though he hated what they did. The question you suggest would have been valid, but that kid would have likely answered it appropriately.
I went through the Greek system at OU and OSU in the 1980s and it ruined college for me because it was overtly racist. I had grown up in Tulsa and played high school football, and we had Asians, Hispanics, and white and black players on the team from childhood, and race was never an issue. It wasn’t tolerated that you would look down on a team mate that proved themselves, regardless of what their race was. But outside of football, there was decided racism, and when I went to college, I was prepared to love the Greek system, and it was racist as all get out. This is nothing new at these schools, and it ruined college for me, because I was truly dissapointed to see it.
Yes, there were black fraternities like Alpha Phi Alpha, but they were never included with the white fraternities. Those were formed because there was no outlet for people I had played football with and gone to class with to hang out with the white folk at college.
This kind of thing has been covered up and gone on in secret for far too long.
