Http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2872731/Outsage-Maryland-sorority-sister-celebrated-birthday-racist-cake-shared-image-Instagram.html
A sorority girl at the University of Maryland is facing outrage after she posed for a photo with a racist birthday cake made of alcohol bottles that reads, 's*** a n**** d***' on her 21st birthday.
The photo from Delta Gamma Sorority was posted online to Instagram along with an offensive hashtag comment that featured the 'n-word.'
University of Maryland student Chandler Perry told Pulsefeedz that she saw the photo on her Instagram feed and was angered by
what she saw.

how offensive it is to the outside world. Don't get me wrong, she deserves all the scorn and mockery she gets for tweeting this, but I can see how she went into it not thinking what would happen.

at least, that's the hope I'm going to take from this. Possibly misplaced, but more remarkable transformations have been known to occur.

Greeks now are OK but societies whose main purpose is to give the members an advantage over non-members is just prejudice. And then there are all the scandals at a college level.
Rant over.
