Racist chant: Video catches frat boys singing 'there will never be a ni**** in Sigma Alpha Epsilon''
- 9 years ago
The national headquarters of America’s largest fraternity, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, is closing its University of Oklahoma chapter and suspending its members after a video surfaced online Sunday of said members singing a racist chant.
The nine-second video uploaded to an undisclosed YouTube account shows a group of college students in formal attire clapping while they sing a racist chant to the tune of "If You're Happy And You Know It" during a date event on a charter bus.
The lyrics, as heard in the video are:
"There will never be a ni**** in SAE.
There will never be a ni**** in SAE.
You can hang him from a tree, but he can never sign with me
There will never be a ni**** in SAE."
University President David Boren told a CNN affiliate the fraternity members have until midnight Tuesday to get their things out of the house.
Students with the activist group Unheard at OU rallied for all students to protest the fraternity's actions on Monday morning alongside Boren.
The national Sigma Alpha Epsilon headquarters said in a statement that it was "embarrassed" by the "unacceptable and racist" behavior of its members.
