It can be argued that students are tiring of the “diversity” emphasis on campuses when they organize parties that completely contradict today’s progressive messaging.

However, it appears that one Arizona fraternity took their counter-culture attitude one step too far:

Knowing they attend a university that has high standards when it comes to costume innovation — let’s not forget the student who pioneered the brilliant Halloween costume of “naked herself” — these TKE [Tau Kappa Epsilon] bros decided they would figure out a way to dress as black stereotypes. Their challenge? Do it without blackface.

At least that’s the scenario we’ve chosen to imagine that led to a bunch of white kids throwing gang signs in their finest basketball jerseys and getting schwasted out of watermelon cups.

Their costuming choices have earned them a suspension.

Arizona State University announced Thursday that it is severing ties with a fraternity after the chapter hosted a distasteful party in commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, replete with racist stereotypes and offensive costumes.

The school said in a statement that it has notified Tau Kappa Epsilon its recognition as a fraternity chapter at ASU has been permanently revoked.

Revoking recognition means the 65-year-old local chapter is no longer affiliated with ASU, the group won’t be listed on the university’s website and it cannot recruit members or hold on-campus meetings.

Tau Kappa Epsilon was placed on probation in 2012 and then suspended for hosting a Jan. 19 party that depicting racial stereotypes drew harsh criticism from civil-rights leaders who demanded the university expel the fraternity.

University officials said they still are investigating the event and deciding how to handle individual cases of student discipline.

Alex Baker, a spokesman for the national fraternity organization, said Tau Kappa Epsilon has received the university’s findings and planned to release the results of its own investigation shortly.

Baker previously said the group does not condone racist or discriminatory behavior.
