Both frat brothers were tied up. One was white, one was African-American. I've seen nothing to indicate, including the lawsuit filed by the parents of the student that died, to suggest anyone regarded this incident as having a racial component.

Let me be absolutely clear. I am not defending the OU SAE chapter in any way shape or form. Their continued presence on the campus would not only be disruptive to campus life, but would be highly offensive to any African-American student. I also am not defending hazing practices by other chapters of SAE.
