Their fraternity has been shut down and possible expulsion looms for members of the University of Oklahoma's racist Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. The embarrassment won't end there if The New York Daily News has anything to say about it.
The publication is actively looking to expose the members by name.
A picture of two of the unidentified bigots are front and center on an article published on Tuesday, March 10. The caption reads: "Do You Know These Punks? Email Us As Social&NYDailyNews.com.
This entire firestorm ignited when a video of SAE members chanting racially insensitive verbal vomit about never allowing African Americans into their fraternity surfaced online and went viral.
By acting like idiots they've earned the scorn of the nation, the University of Oklahoma and the nationwide chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
SAE issued a public apology for the actions of the Oklahoma chapter of it's fraternity.
We apologize for the unacceptable and racist behavior of the individuals in the video, and we are disgusted that any member would act in such a way. Furthermore, we are embarrassed by this video and offer our empathy not only to anyone outside the organization who is offended but also to our brothers who come from a wide range of backgrounds, cultures and ethnicities. Our leadership acted swiftly to the video and closed the chapter within hours of learning about it. Preliminary findings from our investigation validated the involvement of chapter members from the University of Oklahoma in the video.
This type of racist behavior will not be tolerated and is not consistent with the values and morals of our fraternity. We have more than 15,000 collegiate members across the nation, and this incident should not reflect on other brothers because this type of hateful action is not what Sigma Alpha Epsilon stands for. This is absolutely not who we are. Sigma Alpha Epsilon is not a racist, sexist or bigoted fraternity. Not only have we provided education and training on these and other issues, we are working to make sure that discussions and awareness on these and other topics is at the forefront of our membership experience.
We teach our members to serve as role models in their communities and to live up to our creed, “The True Gentleman.” When members fail to do so, we will not hesitate to take corrective actions or to impose sanctions. Any behavior that is not aligned with the conduct we expect is unacceptable. Equally unacceptable is bystander behavior of members who fail to intervene when they witness conduct that deviates from our beliefs.
