North Carolina Sorority Busted for Racism Against Football Players
Methodist University sorority Alpha Delta Pi has been asked to cease and desist all activities after one of their members presented a racist Powerpoint presentation about the school’s Black football players in a now-deleted Facebook post.
The sorority’s national chapter suspended the student who led the presentation and the school’s collegiate chapter has been disbanded.
“Big Lips” & “Large Nostrils”
The since-deleted presentation showed images of the athletes with captions such as “large nostrils” or “big lips” and stated disapproval of Black hairstyles.
In a statement released Sept. 21, officials at the university condemned the presentation, saying the school “is committed to principles of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice.”
