After apologies from two University of Oklahoma students for a racist chant that went viral online, Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s national chapter objected to their statements that they had been “taught” the song and said they are investigating reports from other campuses that the chant has been heard elsewhere. Because the fraternity is one of the country’s largest, with 15,000 members and 200,000 alumni, some have expressed concerns that it might have been spreading a racist message through old traditions, while others were adamant that the video reflected only on those students involved, not the fraternity at large.
