A University of Alabama sorority video featuring scores of handsome young women enjoying their college experience was removed from social media after getting lambasted by scolds as “worse for women than Donald Trump“.

The video’s real director (not one of the men in the amusing or Die’s parody) implied that the selection of women depicted in the recruitment video was not necessarily representative of the sorority.
In the recruitment video entitled as “Alabama Alpha Phi 2015″, a group of nearly exclusively white girls with long blonde hair wearing summer dresses, sexy bikinis and daisy dukes can be seen dancing and prancing around, blowing kisses and playing with glitter.
The College of Alabama’s Alpha Phi sorority chapter drew greater than 700,000 views for its controversial YouTube video that has since been faraway from the location. Of the total number of women who accepted bids, 214 were minorities, a number that increased by almost 13 percent.
Yeah … all because some white guilt columnist had to rail about the video being “racially and aesthetically homogeneous”.

Since then, Alpha Phi has taken down the video, plus their Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. “It’s all so … unempowering”. “It is important for student organizations to remember what is posted on social media makes a difference, today and tomorrow, on how they are viewed and perceived”, said Deborah Lane, Associate Vice President for University Relations”.
