Haven't seen this posted anywhere... I'm totally shocked***

The blonde is from Wisconsin. Her dad owns a bunch of car dealerships that have been in the news multiple times recently for racist incidents. Of course this isn't the highlight of the story because "MISSISSIPPI IS RACIST" is the headline.
But, I'm not sure what the University can do since it happened off campus. I'm sure their sorority will kick them out which will cause them to leave on their own. The apartment complex could evict them for harassing their neighbor. Good Morning America and CNN have surprisingly covered it - them having reporters on the ground in Mississippi for the Senate race was bad timing for Ole Miss PR.

I am more concern about all the bottles thrown into the endzone.
Some things never change at OM but they are great at marketing and covering up hipocracity.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
That is blatant, obvious racism. Those two girls in the front are likely done being students at ole Miss.

This is from the MSU student code of conduct policy:
The Code of Student Conduct applies to all students while present on campus or at a University facility. It further applies to all student conduct that occurs in connection with a University program or activity, regardless of the location. Further, the University reserves the right to take appropriate action, up to and including expulsion, when, in the University’s judgment, a student’s conduct off-campus and not connected to any University program or activity: (1) indicates that the student may pose a danger to others; or (2) the conduct has a negative impact on the University community or the University’s mission.
If UM's is like State's CoC then they can decide that the girls have negatively impacted the University and kick them out.
I don't think they can do much more than investigate it, state they believe their actions to be abhorrent, and suggest they take some kind of educational deal that tells them not to be pieces of **** going forward.
If they expel them, and I'm confident the apple didn't fall far from the tree here, the parents will sue.
If my kids did some **** like that the university wouldn’t have to worry about what to do. My girls would wish I would have let the university handle it.
Honestly, this has nothing to do with the school but they'll definitely get involved considering the optics. . . .

One can only hope. Bringing in all these out of State kids isn't always a good thing.
Ive had my fill of that post online for 2 days now. Im sure there is backstory, and not sure this should be blown up like this, but hell, if it does, maybe i should contact burger king about my 3 months working at a mempho location and being called all sorts of things because I didnt match any other employee. Fun time, but most of those career folx hated my guts and would try to mess my work up.
Maybe Fox News can run your Burger King story to contrast CNN running this ole miss story****
they said one of the girls was mis-identified, and not a member of a certain sorority
would be very interested to know if these are all out of state students (very last one seems to know better - have not seen video though)
As part of, "now, tell us all of the story," I can't help but wonder if there have been other ongoing issues that led to this event

Here's the backstory.
Blonde girl is from Wisconsin. Girl #3 (the one just walking) is from Memphis. Have not seen credible sources on the third girl.
Two of the girls are upstairs neighbors with the Black girl who shared the Ring camera video and it went viral. They have had several run-ins with each other over noise complaints, parking spots, all the things that happen in apartment living. On Friday night, as the three girls were leaving, two of them made monkey sounds into the Ring camera and went about their time in Oxford.
By Saturday morning, it was all over TikTok. The girls came down and apologized, but the damage was done. The TikTok detectives falsely claimed the girls were members of Alpha Phi sorority, who was featured on SEC Nation Saturday morning. The girls were actually not members of Alpha Phi, but they are still taking on threats because of the false information posted on TikTok.
Additionally, the three names were posted, and one of the names was not uncommon, so several girls in different parts of the country were being harassed. A 30-year old woman that lives in Atlanta and went to Auburn was getting death threats because she shared her name with one of these girls.
Its a terrible thing all around. The girls made a huge mistake, as 18-year olds do, but they apologized but the mob wants their pound of flesh and they will get it. Its one thing for it to go viral on TikTok and Instagram, its a whole other issue when major news networks are covering it.
These young ladies made a mistake, but there are bigger tragedies in the world. I get that the mob has to have their pound of flesh, but there has got to be better ways that all involved could be spending their time. As example would be the major news outlets covering something that actually mattered, or that had a real impact on the lives of the American people. But if it bleeds it leads in terms of controversy. I certainly think these ladies made a mistake, but not one they deserve to spend eternity paying for either.
I get that they "could" kick the out based on Code of Conduct, but without the social media mob blowing this up, an argument could be made that much worse behavior has been tolerated without penalty or threat.
Open drug use, DUIs, sexual depravity, assault - we start kicking 18 year olds out of college for stupid behavior and we'll have to close more colleges than we think.
I'm sure all three girls will withdraw on their own or their parents will pull them out. But we are living in a dangerous world where we let the mob determine the punishment for our mistakes.
I'm sure I will get raked through the coals for what I am about to say -
Everybody does stupid **** and there should be some repurcusions, but expelling them would be beyond excessive.
I know were are talking about a different school, but we had a football player deck a random guy in the Cotton DIstrict and he managed to stick around. We could probably find tons of examples like that elsewhere if someone had enough time on their hands to dig into it.
I'm glad there wasn't a camera on damn every street corner and every door in America when I was that age.
I thought of the same example.
They apologized. They have learned their lesson. Any one of our daughters could have been Girl #3 (the one just with the two that made the noise). 18 year olds do stupid things. I know I did.
But those girls' lives are ruined. Every time their name is Googled, this will come up. It will affect every part of their life forever. That's unfair.
As someone posted in another thread, bottles are the Rebels' traditional institutional noise makers. As long as they weren't throwing them while the center was over the ball, it's fine.
In a few days, this whole thing will be forgotten about and a new controversy will take it's place. Remember the students who tied the noose around the statue of James Meredith? Yeah, nobody else remembers them either.
National news? How many local murders and rapes make national news? These are dumbass bigots and I'm really tired of people who derive unseemly pleasure from being racist.
Terrible decision. There’s almost always more to the story, and while I certainly don’t condone racial remarks, I hate to see any college kid’s future potentially ruined over something that did not involve physical violence. There should be accountability, but there should also be room for young people to learn, grow, and move forward.
As a society, we also have to be careful about how selectively we apply consequences. We can’t be so quick to punish certain actions while allowing others to skate by simply because we find one offense more objectionable than another. Accountability should be fair, consistent, and proportionate, regardless of who is involved or how we personally feel about the situation.
Clearly you didn't read the article. The statement from the university confirmed that they are not sorority members.
The statement in the article was from Alpha Phi, stating that they were Not members of Alpha Phi, who was identified initially.
At least two of the girls were in another sorority.
