Rapper Waka Flocka Flame performed for OU’s Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter last May, but he won’t be doing it again. I live in Oklahoma where bedlam battles between OU and OSU dominate much of the sports talk. It’s not often this state makes national news, and this is not the desired way to do it. You’ve probably heard about the video featuring a busful of OU SAE brothers chanting, “There will never be a n*** in SAE.” You can see the video on Twitter without a shoutout to OU President David Boren. Action came swiftly and with zero tolerance. Boren kicked the fraternity brothers out of their house and released the following statement:

To those who have misused their free speech in such a reprehensible way, I have a message for you. You are disgraceful. You have violated all that we stand for. You should not have the privilege of calling yourselves “Sooners.” Real Sooners are not racist. Real Sooners are not bigots. Real Sooners believe in equal opportunity. Real Sooners treat all people with respect. Real Sooners love each other and take care of each other like family members.

Effective immediately, all ties and affiliations between this University and the local SAE chapter are hereby severed. I direct that the house be closed and that members will remove their personal belongings from the house by midnight tomorrow. Those needing to make special arrangements for positions shall contact the Dean of Students.

All of us will redouble our efforts to create the strongest sense of family and community. We vow that we will be an example to the entire country of how to deal with this issue. There must be zero tolerance for racism everywhere in our nation.

Boren made his decision to close the house without hesitation. Good. The frat boys are without a house, which is all that Boren can do (speech codes usually don’t hold up under the 1st amendment) without getting sued. SAE also released an official statement to close its OU chapter, saying the fraternity is “disgusted” and “embarrassed” at the brothers’ behavior. Oh, and there were Tri Delta girls on the bus. Their chapter is investigating too.

There’s more. These SAE boys booked Waka Flocka for a performance at their frat house later this month! The rapper cancelled his appearance with this Instagram caption: “SMFH.. I know for a fact the whole school and SAE don’t agree with those kids actions so know that I’m not madd at the whole #SAE just those disgusting kids!!!!!! #WFF We can’t change history but we damn sure can create our own future #DeathToRacism” Here’s more of Waka Flocka’s message.

SMFH.. I know for a fact the whole school and SAE don’t agree with those kids actions so know that I’m not madd at the whole #SAE just those disgusting kids!!!!!! #WFF We can’t change history but we damn sure can create our own future #DeathToRacism
