Standing up for each other includes standing up for our sisters of color, as well as holding each other to the higher standard set by our founders. If ALL student organizations cease to exist because we call out racist behavior than clearly there’s a bigger issue that needs to be addressed.

I think that they should be called out for their comments/behaviors etc, but I don't think she should be branded a racist for one comment. If there's a pattern there or a history of that sort of thing with her, well, OK...then there's evidence that this wasn't a one-time really stupid mistake. Definitely reprimand and denounce what she said as racist, tasteless, etc, but without further evidence of racist behavior, don't brand her as one.
