Two Oklahoma University students were expelled Tuesday for having a "leadership role" in a fraternity's racist video, according to USA Today.

The investigation into the Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) fraternity will continue according to University President David Boren.

"I have acted today to expel two students who were leaders in the singing of a racist chant," Boren said in a tweet that linked to the statement.

Boren said that "appropriate disciplinary action" will be given to others involved when their identities are confirmed.

Boren said that these students created a "hostile environment" for students and the university community.

"I have emphasized that there is zero tolerance for this kind of threatening racist behavior at the University of Oklahoma," Boren said. "I hope the entire nation will join us in having zero tolerance of such racism when it raises its ugly head in other situations across our country."

The video showed SAE members headed to a party on a bus making a racist chant that said they will not allow black members into their fraternity.

Boren has scrambled to act on the video that went viral Sunday. He quickly removed the fraternity from the university and said expulsions could occur.

Now, SAE members have until late Tuesday evening to get themselves and their belongings out of the SAE fraternity house.

Boren hopes that the students involved in the video learned from their experience and realize the consequences it created. Boren said it "is wrong to use words to hurt, threaten and exclude other people."

OU recruiters are already feeling the consequences of the video going viral. A four-star recruit, Jean Delance said he is withdrawing his commitment to play football at OU.

SAE's national organization has confirmed that the OU chapter of SAE has been closed and its members have been suspended from the national organization. SAE apologized for the video and said it does not reflect the views of its 15,000 members nationwide.
