UI Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority made a racist comment on Instagram ?
“We are writing to emphasize the comment made by this individual was unacceptable, and the Panhellenic community does not stand for this,” according to a message to chapter presidents from UI Panhellenic President Elah Shulruff and UI Vice President for Student Life Melissa Shivers.
UI officials did not disclose details of what the sorority member wrote on Saturday on the social media platform Instagram. But, in a separate statement from the Panhellenic Council, leadership disavowed the comment and the “racist ideology” it promoted and stressed it “will not stand for nor tolerate these unacceptable comments.” Please see full article below. https://www.thegazette.com/subject/n...gamma-20191008 This is truly so sad that things like this keep happening, and it negatively impacts the whole Org and university. Now I know why our chapter officers beat it into our head repeatedly that what we posted on social media directly affected the image of the chapter. Nobody worked harder than our standards board. Bless them. |
Nice that Kappa made a comment about it immediately, however vague. At least they condemned it.
I'm still waiting for Alpha Phi to make one about the incident at OCU, but I'll be waiting forever because I don't think they care. |

Well before we get our pitchforks and torches, we should know what was actually said. Just a thought.

Oh no! No pitchforks and torches necessary. We were just commending them, because it is honorable that Kappa released a statement condemning what was said. Not every Org does that, but I think it always honorable when they do. The UI Panhellenic President also addressed it, which was a noble move. I commend both entities both for being so prompt to address & take action. |

UI Greek council addresses racist Instagram comments |
Oh Lord in heaven above.. WHAT?...it hardly seems that was an innocent typo either.
Why do these girls not think before they post racy comments on socials? --Sigh. |
Or, why don't people stop being racists? Either way.
(not calling you a racist, but I think a lot of times we worry about the behavior, and forget to address the cause.) __________________ Quote:

I more or less meant what is even going through these girls heads AT ALL. I have never even thought something of that sort, much less posted it on social media. Have I said some things that were inappropriate when I was young that I didn't fully understand what I was saying.. I am sure I have. But girls this age are old enough to know better. I definitely understand what you meant. I just wish I knew how we could halt the mentality entirely. Unfortunately, racism seems to be a trait that is learned. Not a trait people come into the world with, so perhaps the real issue starts at home. How we correct that, I am not sure. But the school & org are doing the right thing by saying they will not tolerate it. |
Is any one besides me getting so VERY DAMN tired of hearing about all of this Waa, Waa Crap?:mad:
This is wrong, that is wrong, and all I see is a bunch of Cup Cake eating Suck up Woosies crying like little babies who do not get their way! Well folks get over your little cry baby ways and act like adults with a back bone. :mad: Thank you and have a fine day!:) |
Whenever a sorority or fraternity acts like racist douchebags, they deserved to be called out and punished.
I am getting tired - tired of racist pieces of shit joining our organizations and spewing this garbage everywhere. Tired of old, whiny white dudes making apologies for racists. |

I am tired of hearing about it, but I am even more tired of people not realizing this kind of behavior IS NOT acceptable, especially for a young woman that represents the values of a group of other young women. When you are in a Greek Org, you are held to a higher standard. More is expected out of you. I went into Greek Life knowing that. These ladies and men should know the same. |

And we recruit a fresh batch of 18-19 year old kids every single year and every single year, we open ourselves up to the same behavior, and every single year that behavior continues to happen. Why are we tired or surprised? Our organizations don't have much capacity to learn unless they are properly advised by adult volunteers, but the advice we give very often falls on deaf ears. It's a problem with no real solution that I can think of. |
