A fraternity at the University of Georgia has been suspended after video allegedly showing members whipping someone and referring to them picking cotton surfaced on social media.
Georgia's chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon was suspended by the national chapter and the video was condemned by the university. The frat also announced it had expelled four members who were involved in the video on Saturday.
"Since 1899, our fraternity has taken much pride in the diversity and uniqueness of our membership," the statement continued. "Tau Kappa Epsilon has never had an exclusionary clause in our membership. Our founders believed, as we do today, in the personal worth and character of the individual, not his wealth, rank, or honor."
Another person in the room says, "You're not using the right words," to which the member with the belt says, "Pick my cotton, n-----."The school chapter said the video was not filmed during an official fraternity function and did not take place on the chapter's premises. It referred to the video as "racist," "discriminatory" and "offensive.
The university also released a statement condemning those involved and said an investigation was being conducted. For now, the members remain enrolled at the school.
