A video from the University of Alabama’s Alpha Phi sorority chapter has gotten so much backlash that, after getting more than 700,000 views on YouTube, the video was removed from the site.
The video features 72 women frolicking across a football field, jumping in a lake and blowing handfuls of glitter.
One op-ed article on AL.com called the video “worse for women than Donald Trump,” criticizing the video’s lack of diversity and calling it “reductive and objectifying.”
Supporters of the video, meanwhile, argue that other recruitment videos from sorority chapters at the University of Arizona and University of Miami chose to highlight similar aesthetics.

This might be the biggest "non-story" ever. Who cares what they are doing? IT'S A RECRUITING VIDEO FOR A SORORITY

People need to pull their heads out of their asses and let people live their fucking lives. Beautiful women being beautiful. No problem here

I don't think anyone really knows what's going on here. Or not, I'm just a comment

"12% are African-American" "55% are women" so i'd bet the number for AA women is pretty low http://www.ua.edu/quickfacts/demographics.html

Don't quote me on this, but I bet that out of those 12% AA, the majority are male. Football programs and all. So even less AA women.

Biggest fraternity at my school is like this, but Asian. People wear "I <3 Black People" sweaters. Nobody bats an eye. Why only hate whites?
license2kilt
Because Asians, despite millennia of history and culture, seem to lack the supremacist ideology of their Caucasian counterparts.

During WW2, the Japanese killed more Chinese than Hitler killed Jews. Every race, at some point, has been racist.

The amount of wrong in this statement is intense. History would like a word with you.
Idownvotegunnuts
Nobody on this Earth is more racist than the Japanese. The Koreans hate Chinese with a passion and Chinese think they are superior to all.

I agree... Why do we have to portray ourselves as bimbos all the time?
justgeeknerdenough
Wait... so now women aren't allowed to run around and have fun? Because they aren't ethnically diverse?
CallMeRobt
Definitely bad for women, bad for men bad for everyone. I mean, blowing glitter? Seriously? Some people just want to watch the world sparkle

Eh, I mean it looks like they are having fun. If that's what they want to look like and hang out with, why not? *confused feminist*
tehrevbob
It's.... A.... Sorority....... Do people not know what that means? Skinny white women!
aikidude

tehrevbob
Some but not all to be sure.

There is a lack of diversity in that one, too! Also, a lot more clothing.

Data refuting my statement! Flee!

I didn't think I could dislike Bama any more than I already did.

Hey, if they're having fun and it's not directly hurting anyone, let them. Right? Right.

I would love to know the GPA of this sorority. And a breakdown of majors.
StarrryNight
Who made this video? The girls. They weren't forced to do it. (well, sorority, so debatable). So who is to blame for the objectification.
RichardDeanAnderson
Who actually cares, let them do what they like.

As a girl, I wouldn't be caught dead in a sorority. That doesn't mean I'm going to shit all over everyone who would.
SuperMunchieMonster
People get offended by the dumbest reasons.

Who wouldn't want to go to that school after seeing this video?
ToastedFreak
God I love hot girls...
CitizenNinja
I mean, it looks like what I'd expect to see when I read "video" and "sorority" in the same sentence, maybe less porn music than i'd like

Greek Life - Because college isn't expensive enough, you need to buy your friends too.
AlfonsetheChinchilla
If you mean pay for things like food, rent, beer, and insurance. then yeah. At my school it was cheaper to join a frat than get a meal plan
