A University of Alabama sorority has removed a recruitment video from the Internet after an op-ed decrying the clip as being too sexual and lacking diversity resulted in widespread attention and criticism for the chapter. While the video -- which featured the mostly blond members of Alpha Phi blowing clouds of glitter from their hands, running through bubbles and playing in a river while wearing bathing suits -- appears to be the norm for social sororities, its content has sparked a debate about how chapters should represent themselves in marketing materials. In her op-ed, A. L. Bailey, a guest columnist for AL.com, stated that the video was “worse for women than Donald Trump,” referring to the presidential candidate's tendency to make sexist comments about women he does not like or disagrees with.
