An Arkansas College Kid Was Expelled For This Bill Cosby Halloween Costume
UCA Echo – UCA fraternity Sigma Tau Gamma has officially been suspended by its national chapter after a member posted an Instagram photo displaying his face covered in black paint.
Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity brother and sophomore Brock Denton posted the photo of himself in a multicolored sweater with the caption “It was a bold night.” The fraternity held a Halloween party at its house Friday Oct. 28.
UCA President Tom Courtway posted a letter on UCA’s social media outlets regarding the incident.
“A short time ago we were made aware of a picture on social media showing what is purported to be a UCA student wearing blackface. This picture is highly offensive and repugnant, and this representation goes against all we, at UCA believe in and stand for,” he wrote.
According to UCA’s Twitter, Sigma Tau Gamma has been suspended by the fraternity’s headquarters. According to UCA’s Interfraternity Council Twitter, the council has “disowned” and “suspended” the fraternity.
In a now-deleted tweet, the Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity said “after reviewing the recent inappropriate and offensive behavior of one [of]our members, that member has been expelled indefinitely.”

Yes fuck yes, still have this blog template saved on a Sticky note on my desktop, copy/paste/insert to blog. Sometimes my job is so easy:
As harsh as [INSERT PUNISHMENT] may be, I won’t be sitting over here crying for [INSERT NAME OF IDIOT]. I mean I’m just a broken record at this point. If you post yourself with [INSERT SEMI OR FULLY RACIST ACTION, MOST COMMON: BLACKFACE, N-WORD] on your fucking [INSERT SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM USED], you’re literally too dumb to feel bad for or just be alive in general.
So now we just plug and play. As harsh as…wait getting expelled from school and your entire fraternity suspended? Holy shit. Ok that’s very, very harsh. That is insanely unreasonably harsh come to think of it. I mean just a crazy overreaction. So yeah I stand by that if you post yourself in blackface on social media you’re a fucking idiot but man, University of Central Arkansas doesn’t fuck around with the outrage huh?
