It's kinda disturbing that video is considered so controversial. The girls aren't doing anything racy outside of dressing how I'm sure they always dress but because they're pretty girls on the Internet it's a big deal.

Just lol. It's deeper than that.

People are upset because it demonstrates an utter lack of diversity in the sorority in question

But I saw a few brunettes and I'm sure I saw one chick who was half Asian.

There's this awful stereotype that Southern women work a lot harder to look good compared to women up north.
And this video pretty much confirms that that stereotype is based on verifiable evidence.

Yeah living in New England my whole adult life thus far, I haven't met a lot of girls who put on sh-tloads of makeup and stuff. And they certainly don't clean up like Southern chicks do.

Not that I have a problem with either necessarily

 

[Catsailor]

However a bit
Homogeneous
don'tcha think?

 

[Leebo]

It's the fact that they're all white in a southern greek organization, I assume.

I prefer my eye candy to have "variety" packaging, and preferably racially ambiguous
World might be better, more tolerant, if we were all cafe ole

I think about this constantly...why didn't I go to an SEC school??

 

[Adios]

I think about this constantly...why didn't I go to an SEC school??

Back in the mid 90s, some UConn dorms were comparable, especially at Frats. In a matter of time, UConn will develop an SEC/Big Ten culture.

"Oh, I got my bachelor's at UConn and my master's at Rutgers and my Ph D at Penn State...."

I see ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG in their video. Just absolutely gorgeous young females in a sorority. They should be able to let in whom they want and if its just other gorgeous blonde coeds, then so be it. As long as these ladies are students in good standing with the university then I see absolutely no problem.

Sorry, not trying to be a jerk but genuinely want you to know the right spelling, and of course disregard if you were writing that to be funny, but its "Café au lait" in French

You don't think it in any way may discourage a non-white girl from seeking to join?

No more, no less than an AKA rush video would do the reverse.

I apologize for posting a video that is being taken beyond it's intended purpose of answering the question of "where are the co-eds").

I don't think there is any mystery that that is the intent, as corroborated by several members of UA sororities:

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/19/nytnow/sorority-video-generates-charges-of-discrimination.html

Last summer, a group of sorority members from the university spoke out about the problem to Marie Claire.

“We were told we do not take black girls because it would be bad for our chapter — our reputation and our status,” Yardena Wolf, a member of the school’s Alpha Omicron Pi chapter told the magazine.

It is definitely still a very different culture, as yesterday's news reinforces:

We've been considering southern universities for our oldest daughter and that was an issue that concerned me, so in the past six months I have been engaging people from all walks for their thoughts and experiences.

Most striking to me was a recent conversation with an acquaintance whose daughter is attending UA as a freshman this fall. Her daughter, who is very much into competitive cheerleading, wanted a big southern university with a strong Greek system. I started to explain my concerns about diversity in the south and she cut me off, figuring she knew where I was going, but she was wrong by 180°, as she explained, "Oh, I know what you mean. That was our concern, too, but when we visited we were very impressed with how segregated it is. I mean, of course many of the athletes are black, but other than that it is really a safe, clean and protected environment where there is not much interaction with locals, etc."

I let the conversation tail off soon after that, as we were conveniently interrupted by someone about something else, and we were on the sidelines of a sporting event and I didn't know where to go from there without making it extremely uncomfortable.

I don't expect to change anyone's mind about what they believe or want for their kids, but suffice to say that the video does not depict an environment where I want my daughter to attend college.
