Sorority at Virginia's Old Dominion University is under investigation after photo emerges of white student holding a certificate saying 'blackest white you'll ever meet'

A sorority chapter at a Virginia university is under review after allegations that members engaged in racist behavior.
A university spokesman says the national Alpha Phi sorority organization ordered its chapter at Old Dominion University to 'cease its activities.'
The allegations emerged Wednesday when Twitter user Aime Santiago posted several tweets, saying sorority members used racist language online and belittled a black member.
In one tweet, a white woman is shown holding a certificate that says 'blackest white you'll ever meet.'
At the top of the certificate are printed the words 'Alpha Phi Semi Formal.'

Santiago claims to know minorities who were targeted and says she decided to post to social media because 'no one wants to do anything about it.' 
University spokeswoman Giovanna Genard says the school has zero tolerance for any type of discrimination. 
Genard says the university is reviewing the matter through the Office of Student Conduct and the Office of Institutional Student Equity and Diversity.  
A spokeswoman for the sorority's parent organization, Alpha Phi international Fraternity, told WAVY-TV that the group 'will be conducting our own investigation into what is clearly racist behavior.' 
The president of the Old Dominion chapter of Alpha Phi did not immediately respond to a request for comment from DailyMail.com.
