A controversial photo of a Penn State sorority went viral after it was posted to Facebook. The photo shows ignorant, mostly white, sorority girls at Mexican-themed Halloween party dressed in native Mexican attire with various signs that they thought were really funny at the time.
Signs that read:
“Will mow lawn for weed and beer”
“I don’t cut grass, I smoke it”
Mexican-themed sorority party, members dressed up in ponchos, mustaches and sombreros and got their "racist-on."
This picture demonstrated that all a group of college educated women could come up with as cultural representation for their Southern neighbors were serapes, sombreros, ponchos and racist slogans.

The Fraternity believes that personal degradation has no place in our organization, even if such behavior is meant facetiously or in jest."

But at least nobody wore "BLACKFACE." Maybe next year after all #YOLO??
Female Duke lacrosse player wears BLACKFACE, in and incident early this year.
