Racist Snapchat prompts call for GWU sorority’s expulsion

WASHINGTON — George Washington University student leaders have called for the expulsion of a sorority whose members were involved in a racist Snapchat post.

News outlets report the Student Association Senate unanimously passed a resolution Monday seeking Alpha Phi’s removal and a host of new diversity initiatives.

The Snapchat disseminated last week depicted two Alpha Phi members posing with a banana peel and featured a racist caption.

University President Thomas LeBlanc told student newspaper The GW Hatchet on Tuesday he’s aware of the resolution, but sanctions haven’t been determined, pending investigation.
