According to the Yale Daily News, allegations of racism surfaced after Yale students began sharing their peer Neema Githere’s Facebook post on Oct. 31 about how SAE did not allow a group of women of color to enter the party on the basis of race. While Githere was not at the Oct. 30 party, she added that she had experienced similar discrimination the previous year.

An anonymous student that attended the party said that one friend who is a woman of color heard a brother say “White girls only” to another woman of color who was trying to enter.

The brothers of the fraternity, including its president Grant Mueller, have since denied the allegations.
