SAN DIEGO -- Officials at UC San Diego are condemning a ghetto-themed party organized by fraternity students to mock Black History Month.

A Facebook posting advertising Monday's 'Compton Cookout' invited people to a condominium complex off-campus.

The invitation urged all participants to wear chains, rapper-style urban clothing by makers such as FUBU and speak very loudly.

Female participants were encouraged to be "ghetto chicks" with gold teeth, cheap clothes and "short, nappy hair."

The invitation said the party would serve watermelon, chicken, malt liquor, cheap beer and a purple sugar-water concoction called "dat Purple Drank."

The party was organized by members of several UCSD fraternities, according to an e-mail from Gary Ratcliff, assistant vice chancellor for student life.

UCSD Chancellor Marye Anne Fox called the party, "offensive" and a "blatant disregard of our campus values."

"We reject acts of discrimination ... and we will confront and appropriately respond to such acts," Fox said.

Read The Invitation To The "Compton Cook Out," As Posted On Facebook:

"February marks a very important month in American society. No, i'm not referring to Valentines day or Presidents day. I'm talking about Black History month. As a time to celebrate and in hopes of showing respect, the Regents community cordially invites you to its very first Compton Cookout.

For guys: I expect all males to be rockin Jersey's, stuntin' up in ya White T (XXXL smallest size acceptable), anything FUBU, Ecko, Rockawear, High/low top Jordans or Dunks, Chains, Jorts, stunner shades, 59 50 hats, Tats, etc.

For girls: For those of you who are unfamiliar with ghetto chicks-Ghetto chicks usually have gold teeth, start fights and drama, and wear cheap clothes - they consider Baby Phat to be high class and expensive couture. They also have short, nappy hair, and usually wear cheap weave, usually in bad colors, such as purple or bright red. They look and act similar to Shenaynay, and speak very loudly, while rolling their neck, and waving their finger in your face. Ghetto chicks have a very limited vocabulary, and attempt to make up for it, by forming new words, such as "constipulated", or simply cursing persistently, or using other types of vulgarities, and making noises, such as "hmmg!", or smacking their lips, and making other angry noises,grunts, and faces. The objective is for all you lovely ladies to look, act, and essentially take on these "respectable" qualities throughout the day.

Several of the regents condos will be teaming up to house this monstrosity, so travel house to house and experience the various elements of life in the ghetto.

We will be serving 40's, Kegs of Natty, dat Purple Drank- which consists of sugar, water, and the color purple , chicken, coolade, and of course Watermelon. So come one and come all, make ya self before we break ya self, keep strapped, get yo shine on, and join us for a day party to be remembered- or not. "

Beyond that, do you think it's wise to allow the highest office in our country to possibly be ran by a foreign agent? You know, someone like you who might have higher loyalties to another country.

Because that is all the law let's me be. If there were another option, trust me, I would have taken it. That's what legal immigrants do, see?

See my above post. Do you think that child of illegals might have some allegiance to Mexico?

Two points:

1) I'd almost guarantee that given that this was an off campus party, there were just as many non-Greeks behind it as Greeks. Universities and media joints love to get bent out of shape targeting Greeks as the root of all evil...if there's any way a problem can be linked to or blamed on Greeks, they'll do it.

2) This party is targeting a specific group of black people that are stereotyped as acting in a thuggish manner - that is, the people of Compton. However, I have seen numerous parties targeting a specific group of Italians that are stereotyped as acting in a guido-ish manner (aka Jersey Shore parties) at my college. I don't see a single news report on those or anybody being asked to apologize to Italians everywhere.

No one is claiming that whoever threw the party is being insensitive to Italians, and while I do understand that this party occurred during Black History month, I guarantee you that if/when Jersey Shore parties are being thrown in October (National Italian American Heritage Month), we won't see a single news reports about that.

It makes a little sense.

The kid who was born in the US and is a citizen became a US Citizen at birth, you on the other hand could be a 25 year old anarchist who has plans of coming to America and being elected President and ruining the country.

I guess they think that there are more crazy people outside of the US.

I'm sorry but you not being afforded the ability to run for the POTUS doesn't make you a second class citizen. Although this has been a major window into your animosity towards Hispanics.

No worries there. The Americans who are rightfully born in this country and are elected President have done a great job of ruining the country on their own, no need for outside interference...

I always thought they did away with that and he certainly was first class :P US citizen. In a first class US Navy no less. Then he married my mother and I was born in the U.S. Then they got divorced and my mother had to take all her citizenship stuff.

So I guess my question is was she a citizen as the wife of a citizen? Or does that just mean she can hang out?

heh Canadian and Flip and I can be President before Donger.

Sweet.

Yeah, I know. For most people, the question of allegiance is the primary concern.

Of course it does. I'm not offered the same opportunity as natural-born citizens, by law. I am being denied. Discriminated against because I wasn't born here.

How so (although I don't know why you think I have animosity toward Hispanics)?

My response was a little Tongue and Cheek, but I'm sure that was the main concern whenever that law was put into effect back in the late 1700's or early 1800's.

Here's a little fun trivia: our first ten POTUS weren't really "natural-born" as they were born before our country existed.
