Pi Beta Phi sorority is facing sanctions from Baylor University after an eight-second video posted on social media showed members chanting along to an expletive-laden rap song with the N-word.
A member with Pi Beta Phi reportedly posted a video on Instagram on Jan. 10 of members, apparently in the sororitys chapter room, singing along with rapper Sheck Wes hit song Mo Bamba.
The video then circulated on Twitter, prompting thousands of views and reactions from followers on Instagram and Twitter, many of them negative. Administrators launched an inquiry into the video, and on Thursday, Baylor Vice President for Student Life Kevin P. Jackson announced that the 250-member sorority will be held accountable for the racially insensitive video.
The organization, in coordination with the university, has identified internal accountability practices, cultural awareness education and ways to address the individuals responsible and the organizational culture that resulted in the racially insensitive behavior, Jackson said in a statement. The university has accepted the mutually agreed-upon sanctions and will continue to work with the organization to enhance the educational opportunities afforded by this process.

(112,422 posts)They didn't allow the students to dance at parties until 1996. There have also been Title IX violations, plus sexual assaults committed by football presidents and fraternity presidents.
Nothing to see here, move along now.

(4,494 posts)I hadn't heard of the song, or Sheck Wes for that matter, so I looked up the lyrics.
Having done so, I'll reserve my real disgust for the "artiste".
