The Sigma Alpha Epsilon Chapter at the University of Oklahoma is now shut down because of a video that surfaced over the weekend. The video showed members singing a racist chant.  Now the University of Louisiana at Lafayette is saying this is not a representation of Greek life, especially on their campus.

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette held an informal meeting with its Greek leaders Monday to talk about the incident at Oklahoma University. Former student and Phi Mu Alumn Kristen Melancon says Greek life at UL has become more diverse over the years, something the students are proud of.

“Our Greek life here at UL is not that of what we saw in that video. We have diversity,” said Kristen Melancon, “I saw the change. It was a huge shift that I could see on our campus. It went from these are these sororities and these are             these fraternities, who don’t mix colors to we’re welcoming everyone, everywhere.”

D’Angelo Davis is a junior at UL Lafayette and President of the Omega Psi Phi chapter and says the campus is accepting of everyone.

“I feel like UL is a good campus as far as diversity and being unified with other organizations.” said Davis.

Among those UL organizations is a chapter of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, but Davis doesn’t believe the Oklahoma chapter should ruin the reputation of other SAE chapters.

“As a whole [SAE] shouldn’t be penalized. I feel like that chapter, that certain chapter should be penalized.  Just as they look at us as African Americans. Not all African Americans are bad but when certain people do certain stuff it makes      the whole organization or the whole ethnicity group look bad.” said Davis.

This week the university is hosting their annual Greek unity event and fraternities and sororities teamed together to compete. The university says it will continue to educate Greek leaders to ensure its campus is culturally sensitive.
