Must not associate blacks with bananas



A photo of two women in a sorority at George Washington University holding a banana peel posted on Snapchat with the caption of 'I'm 1/16 black' is being called 'distinctly racist' by their own chapter.

The photo, which was shared on January 31, showed two members of Alpha Phi and appears to have been taken on the sorority's on-campus townhouse. The two women in the photo were not the ones that posted the image to Snapchat.

George Washington University Provost Forrest Maltzman said in a statement that the incident was 'disturbing, hurtful and not reflective of who I know we are as a community.'

The three members in question are in the process of having their membership terminated.
