Arizona State University permanently severed ties with the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity late Thursday, just days after suspending the local chapter over accusations it hosted a distasteful party in commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
University officials notified the fraternity of its decision and said the school is continuing to investigate members of the chapter and students who attended the party for violations of the ASU Code of Conduct, MyFoxPhoenix.com reported.
"At ASU, students who violate these standards will be subject to disciplinary sanctions in order to promote their own personal development, to protect the university community, and to maintain order and stability on our campuses, " ASU President Michael Crow told the station.
The controversy surround the party has prompted a new debate over whether the behavior was racist or an exercise of free speech.
"This is the United States of America, not the United States of I have a right to never be offended," one person posted on Facebook, AZCentral.com reported.
Pictures from the party made their way onto social media websites, depicting guests dressed in basketball jerseys, flashing gang signs and holding watermelon-shaped cups.
IDIOTS. Obviously in this day and age you can't be having black people parties as a white community. This is equivalent to blackface or just saying the N word to a black guy. What's wrong with just going to KFC or watching a couple of MLK speeches instead of offending everyone and giving your fraternity a horrible image?
Now everyone in America thinks that all fraternities are racist and stupid, which may be true for the most part, but not every fraternity posts pictures of their parties on social media. So TKE at ASU, you are all dumbasses and you should enjoy trying to get a job after college, because its not going to happen.
Take a look at some other MLK themed party pictures:
(I took this one at a frat party. That's Big D's arm holding up MLK, and that's our buddy Jameel. This is clearly in good taste.)
