A student has been kicked out of her sorority at the University of Oklahoma after a video of her in blackface and using a racial slur went viral.
The clip, which was originally posted to Snapchat, shows a white female student putting black paint on her face and hands as another female student films her.
'Stop - you have too much!' says the girl behind the camera. She adds: 'That's paint - not [face paint]' before she starts giggling.
The camera then flips to show both students as the female in blackface holds up her hands and appears to say: 'I'm a n****r.'
SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO

The clip went viral after a Twitter user named Gabby, from Fort Worth, Texas, posted it to the social media platform on Friday
The clip went viral after a Twitter user named Gabby, from Fort Worth, Texas, posted it to the social media platform on Friday.
Along with the video was a caption that read: 'Some girls that attend OU thought it would be funny (especially Olivia Urban and Francis Ford) to put black paint on their face and say 'I am a n****r' @UofOklahoma #whatareyougoingtodo ????'
London Moore, president of the OU chapter of Delta Delta Delta sorority, issued a statement on Saturday confirming the student was expelled from the club.
'The woman who participated in, filmed and posted the video is no longer a member of our organization,' Moore said.
'The behavior documented in the video is abhorrent and is in no way consistent with Tri Delta's ideals. To those students directly impacted by this senseless act of racism, we are deeply sorry, and we know that is not enough.'
The University of Oklahoma says it is has begun investigating the incident and described the video as 'inappropriate and derogatory'.
'We are saddened and offended that on the eve of such an important holiday for our nation we are reminded how far we have yet to come in the conversation about treating everyone with respect and dignity,' said OU President James Gallogly and Dr Jane Irungu, interim associate vice president of the Office of University Community at OU, in a joint statement on Friday.
'Martin Luther King, Jr said: "The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education".'
The statement also said that the students have offered to apologize 'in order to reflect their regret'.
Many students - and even alumni - took to Twitter to express their indignation that harsher action isn't being taken.
'Sorry doesn't fix racists acts like this one. Consequences need to be seen, otherwise you're telling your [person of color] students and also racist students that this behavior is tolerated,' one user tweeted.
'I'm sorry...they've offered to APOLOGIZE?! I am embarrassed at my schools response to this issue. This is a huge issue taken way too lightly,' another user wrote.

This is not the first time a sorority or fraternity at the University of Oklahoma has been in the spotlight for racist acts.
In 2015, the school shut down the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house and expelled two students after video surfaced of members singing a racist chant about not allowing black students to join.
The nine-second clip showed fraternity members on a bus headed to a party chanting: 'There will never be a n****r SAE. You can hang him from a tree, but he can never sign with me.'
Editor of the student newspaper The Oklahoma Daily, Katelyn Griffith, told CNN at the time that it anonymously received the video in an email on Sunday night and immediately publicized it.
'We decided that this was definitely a story they needed to cover without question,' she told the network. 'This was something that we knew wouldn't be tolerated by the students at OU and the university at large.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
