VIDEO: Sorority removes controversial recruitment video
A national sorority is under fire today after a recruitment video that some say objectifies women.

A national sorority is under fire today after releasing a recruitment video that some say objectifies women.



The video, released by Alpha Phi's University of Alabama chapter, shows a group of beautiful, predominantly blonde members frolicking about in bikinis and mini skirts while blowing kissess.



The video came out ahead of Bid Day, when students are told which sororities they've been accepted into.



And op-ed called the video unempowering, stepford wives like, worse for women than Donald Trump and criticizes it for lack of diversity.



The university criticized the video.



No word from Alpha Phi but the sorority has since removed its Facebook page and the video.
