NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — The president of the University of Oklahoma says fraternity members who participated in a racist chant caught on video are “disgraceful.”

University President David Boren joined students at a rally Monday morning on the Norman campus. The Oklahoman newspaper reports that Boren said, “real Sooners are not bigots, real Sooners are not racist.”

Sigma Alpha Epsilon said Sunday night that an investigation confirmed the contents of an online video showing multiple people chanting a racial slur and indicating blacks would never be admitted to the fraternity. The chant also references lynching.

The national fraternity says it’s “embarrassed” by the “unacceptable and racist” behavior, and was closing the local chapter.

The video was first posted online by a black student group. It wasn’t clear how the video was obtained.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon said Sunday night that an investigation had confirmed the contents of a video showing multiple people chanting a racial slur against blacks and indicating that blacks would never be admitted to the fraternity. The chant also references lynching.

The national fraternity said in a statement that it was “embarrassed” by the “unacceptable and racist” behavior.

The video was first posted online by a black student group at OU. It wasn’t immediately clear how it was obtained.

The university said earlier Sunday that it was investigating and didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment about the chapter’s closure.
