Yale frat's Halloween party allegedly refused to admit minority women

Students at Yale University are voicing their concerns about alleged racist remarks at a fraternity house party over the Halloween weekend.

The New Haven Register reported that the Ivy League school held a forum on Wednesday night at the Afro American Cultural Center that was attended by students, faculty and administrators.

It followed allegations that a Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity brother turned away female minorities from a party Saturday night, saying they were only letting in white women.

Female audience members described discrimination, antagonism and sexual advances by white men on campus.
