Methodist University in North Carolina suspended Alpha Delta Pi following outrage over a racist incident involving a sorority member critiquing the appearance of Black football players.

The school said in a statement Tuesday that the sorority was suspended indefinitely, pending an investigation.

"We believe in action, and we are taking action. Last week, we immediately launched a thorough investigation of a reported incident. This week, the hearing process is already underway. We will complete the hearing process as soon as we can while also following our established protocols," the university said.

"Alpha Delta Pi has been told to cease and desist from all activities."

The incident in question happened last week when a member of the sorority rated pictures of Black players on last year's football team during a PowerPoint presentation, according to NBC affiliate WRAL-TV of Raleigh. The sorority member pointed out features that she found unattractive such as dreadlocks, noses and lips, the outlet reported.

1. The Republican role models have poisoned generations of young Repubes

Since the Casino Hustler they worship acts like an arrogant, lying, cheating a-hole all the time, all the young Republicans are convinced that being arrogant, low-life a-holes is the way to get ahead in the world.

2. This is a blast from the past. Trump empowered the worst in our country...

… encouraged what had been living under rocks and bridges to come out into the light of day and be proud of all their nastiness.

In my lifetime it had become socially unacceptable to display shit like this — but don’t kid yourself; it never really went away. Trump’s one great skill was to release all civilized constraints, and it worked like a charm for him because it turned out there was a big, big audience for it.
