re: Sorostitute kicked out of Bama Chi-O for racist snapchat post

It turns out this may have been one of the worst auto-corrects in history. Here’s an email from a reader giving what he (and possibly Chi O) claim is the real story behind the Snapchat.

Hey Bac-daddy,

My roommates girlfriend is a chi o here at bama, and before reading your story on tfm, she had told me what happened. For clarification, you should know that chi o actually in fact gave bids to two african american freshmen this year. Along with one that they gave a bid to last year after the scandal. The snap was, apparently, an auto correct from the word “ninjas” to “****s”. Now, you may know what “ninjas” means in sororstitute slang but, before she explained it to me, I had not. These so-called “ninjas” are, after how alabama rush works, a sorority gets stuck with girl that weren’t their top picks. The reason these dumb, non proofreading chi o’s were so happy was that they got a “perfect pledge class” this rush season. Now, don’t get me wrong, being a part of the alabama greek system there is a tradition of racism, but it stems from alumni in sororities not usually the actives. just for facts sake, I know of at least 3 black chi O’s and your article should be corrected.

It’s true, “ninja” is a sorority term for crappy rushes that back their way into a house that doesn’t want them. I’ve definitely heard it before, but just in case you don’t believe the email, here’s confirmation from the highest source on English language definitions, Urban Dictionary:
