University of Oklahoma sorority expels student involved in blackface video

A student involved in a video showing a woman in blackface and possibly using a racial slur has been expelled from her sorority at the University of Oklahoma.

"The behavior documented in the video is abhorrent and is in no way consistent with Tri Delta's ideals. To those students directly impacted by this senseless act of racism, we are deeply sorry, and we know that is not enough," London Moore, president of the OU chapter of Delta Delta Delta sorority -- also known as Tri Delta -- said Saturday.

The video posted to social media this week initially shows a white female student applying black paint to her face while making faces to the camera.

"Stop (inaudible) you have too much.... That's paint, not (face paint)," another female student who appears to be recording the video is heard saying.

The student in blackface then holds up her painted palms and says something that some have interpreted to be a racial slur, although it is unclear what she says.

As that happens, the other student is seen embracing her and laughing while recording both of them.

It's unclear which of the two students who appeared in the video was expelled.
