MIAMI — A University of Miami fraternity was shuttered Friday after a video surfaced of an off-campus pool party that showed Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity members jumping up and down and chanting about having sex with a dead woman.
“It made my skin crawl. It was just awful,” said a UM sorority sister who did not attend the pool party, but her friends did and she was shown the video. The student asked her name not be used for her own protection.
The song, which is popular with fraternities across the country, includes sexually explicit and revolting lyrics about a woman who dies giving fellatio. The fraternity hosted the pool party, an event they call “Adult Swim,’’ after the adult-oriented cable channel by the same name. The party was at a home about 15 blocks west of the campus in Coral Gables.
