This is the type of recruiting videos that we have to fight against. They don't seem to worry about diversity.

Plenty of black only fraternities and sororities around the country. Not sure this is really that big of a deal outside of someone trying to make it one. If so, what about schools like Grambling who have predominant race? Should they be viewed under this light? How about Alabama's football team? Is there a predominant race? Someone should write an article.

I watched 15 seconds of that vid and neither saw nor heard anything racial.

It is not a football video it is a sorority video. The whole point of sorority video is to show all the different things that they do to get people to want to join them. The school made them take it down, because the school doesn't want people to think their sororities are all just about white girls flocking around looking pretty. Not that there anything wrong with that, LOL, but it sure does feeds into the stereotype of the students not caring about academics and lack of diversity on campus outside the sports teams.

But when it comes down to it, aren't their sororities really just all about white girls flocking around looking pretty?

I know it's suppose to be a sorority video but the football team using it as a recruiting tool.

RU needs more girls like that to show up at games and be that supportive!

Subliminal advertising bama at it best.
What did you see mostly blond scantly clothed white girls and What was the "token" male in the whole video??? a black athlete throwing a football (not a white jock, by the way). Got back 50 years and Bear Bryant did not even have black football players let alone playing catch with some lily white blond girls.
Super subliminal advertising if you are not in the trade of advertising and marketing you are like bigdrago and sees nothing wrong, which there isn't except, the oblivious insertion of a black athlete...WHY is he even there, if it was really a sorority recruitment where are all the black and Asian girls???
