Fratboys are asshats, use racial slurs.

From this article:

They made condescending comments like 'you are having sexual relations with the 'N' word, I am going to have to tell everybody at the pledge meeting that your having sexual relations with the 'N' word' and the list goes on and on," said the Junior from Clarksville, TN.

A few days later Simpson told Darden some members of SAE met and decided they didn't want her to come back to their house. "I am sickened to the depths of my humanity that anybody would make such comments about a person," she said.

Simpson was also running for office in SAE and claims he was told by fraternity members that "he would not be able to have the position of Risk Manager because he was already sleeping with a black woman and that was risky enough."


Here is an email that was sent to me:
