Four members of the University of Georgia's Tau Kappa Epsilon chapter were expelled from the fraternity on Saturday. By Allyson Chiu Allyson Chiu Reporter Email Bio Follow March 25 at 5:33 AM In the grainy video, a young man sits at the foot of a bed, his legs dangling off the side. His right arm is cocked and he’s holding what appears to be a brown leather belt, folded in half. He lets out a nervous sounding laugh. Someone off-camera taunts, “Do it. You won’t.
Video of the students, who have not been named, appeared to first surface on Twitter on Friday afternoon. By early Monday, one 17-second clip had been watched more than 96,000 times and had about 600 retweets.

Cancel fraternities.
There are still miles to go before we sleep....a great many miles to go before we sleep!

And it continues...
I wonder, who brought the slaves?
