As you can see from the photo above, it looks like a Penn State University sorority has taken upon itself to have its members dress up in traditional Mexican clothes and act like them. Right. Ridiculous is what this is.
Jezebel.com reported that Onward State, Director of Greek Life, Dr. Roy Baker, Director of the Paul Robeson Cultural Center, Carlos Wiley, and the leadership of Chi Omega met to discuss potential punishments for the sorority last night. Suspension is rumored by not confirmed. The question to ask is why this is still happening. Penn State has several minority Greek-lettered organizations (Black, Latino, Asian, etc.) and for this to happen is disgraceful.
Some people are asking what's the big deal? Really? I'm guessing they weren't aware of
Ohio University's STARS' campaign huh?

It is sad that they don't recognize that they are insulting a people and perpetuating a stereotype. They should understand that their negative actions have consequences.
I have no words for that picture...especially their signs. All I can do is shake my head. And people like to say racism is a thing of the past.
