College Fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon is receiving negative attention for a video of members from the University of Oklahoma chapter singing aracist chant. The University of Oklahoma chapter will no longer be affiliated with the fraternity according to CNN.

The chant stated how the fraternity would never have an African American member, according to The New York Times. That chapter of SAE had black members in the past, according to USA Today.

The fraternity said it would investigate other campuses to see if their chapters use the chant also, according to the New York Times.

The video was posted on Twitter by a group called Unheard. Unheard describes themselves as “an alliance of black students organized for change within campus administration and atmosphere,” according to ABC news. 

Former members of the fraternity claimed via social media that colleges in other states use the same chant, according to the New York Times. 

President David Boren expelled the two students that played a “leadership role” in the chant. The family of Levi Pettit, one of the students that was expelled, said they were “as shocked and sadden by this news as anyone,” according to USA Today.

The legal team at the University of Oklahoma is searching possible punishments for the other fraternity members. Boren said SAE residents must vacate the house and remove all possessions by Tuesday night, according to ABC news. 

Students from the University of Oklahoma marched to the SAE Fraternity house hours prior to midnight on Tuesday, according to the New York Times. 

Both students said they were taught the song, according to USA Today. However, the fraternity national headquarters said the song is not related to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon tradition, according to the New York Times. 

“The chant is in no way endorsed by the organization nor part of any education whatsoever,” the fraternity said. 

Sigma Alpha Epsilon celebrates it’s Southern Heritage and was founded during the antebellum period in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, according to the New York Times.

Howard Dixon, the black chef who worked for the Chapter for 14 years is now out of a job. However the SAE alums immediately started raising money for Dixon, according to USA Today.

Jean Delance, a highly sought after high school football player who is black, withdrew his commitment to play for Oklahoma in regards to the video, according to the New York Times.

University of Oklahoma’s Delta Delta Delta sorority chapter are also in trouble due to claims that some of their members were seen chanting, according to USA Today.

This is not the first time SAE faced controversy. The website for the Fraternity disclosed over 130 have been cited or suspended for “health and safety incidents” since 2010, according to CNN. 

The fraternity is also recovering after a recent string of member deaths. Many blame the deaths on hazing, according to CNN.   Other chapters have been involved and reprimanded for other racial themed parties in the past, according to the New York Times. 

The national SAE organization permanently revoked the memberships of every member involved with the incident, according to ABC News.
