Tau Kappa Epsilon expelled the four fraternity members after they were made aware of the video.
A University of Georgia fraternity has been suspended over a viral video apparently showing one of their members mockingly beating another with a belt while saying “pick my cotton, n*****” as others watched and laughed.
“The executive officers of the Student Government Association are aware of a video circulating on social media that depicts individuals identified as members of a UGA Greek organization using racist language and engaging in behaviors that mock the suffering of enslaved peoples,” the statement read. A Tau Kappa Epsilon spokesperson told NBC News they were made aware of the disturbing video on Friday. The incident was not filmed at an official fraternity event."These four individuals acted outside the expectations of our membership and their chapter and therefore were removed from both," the spokesperson said.
