Racist video causes anger, embarrassment for Oklahoma campus
NORMAN, Oklahoma -- The University of Oklahoma has expelled two students involved in the racist video reported on Monday. Now another video has surfaced.
The students expelled today are accused of playing a leadership role in the racist video that has since tarnished the university.
Senior Lauren Hartnett is a sorority member and knows many of the now suspended Sigma Alpha Epsilon members.
"It's very embarrassing for our campus and I just wish that this was a bad dream that we could just all wake up from," said Hartnett through tears.
CBS News has learned that nightmare started Saturday night on a bus ride to an event celebrating the 159th anniversary of the fraternity.
15-year SAE housemother Beuton Gilbow expressed shock when we interviewed her last night.
"I heard the words. Unbelievable," Gilbow said. "This is not SAE."
But by this morning a 2013 video surfaced of her singing lyrics to a rap song using the same offensive language she had earlier condemned.
In a statement today she said: "I am heartbroken by the portrayal that I am in some way racist. I have friends of all race and do not tolerate any form of discrimination in my life."
"I hate that she did that," said Will James II, who visited his old fraternity house for the first time since both videos were leaked. "I know that some people probably look at that differently because she was supposedly singing lyrics to a song, but it's never okay."
He was one of the first black members of the OU chapter when he joined in 2001.
"This was our home," he said. "And I don't think it's ever coming back, so that is tragic."
The SAE investigation is widening tonight. Leaders within the organization say several other incident have been brought to their attention.
