Saint Mary’s University in Halifax is promising disciplinary action after a frosh week chant glorifying underage sex with girls without consent was posted online.
A 15-second video posted to Instagram on Monday shows orientation week leaders leading a cheer about the sexual preferences of Saint Mary University men.
On a crowded football field they shout out, “Y is for your sister, O is for oh so tight, U is for underage, N is for no consent, G is for grab that ass, [...] Saint Mary’s boys we like them young.”
Students said the chant has been used at frosh week for years.
On Wednesday Jared Perry, the student union president, called it an oversight and apologized.
"It will not continue in the future," he said.
The university’s senior director of student services said the administration had no knowledge of the chant until Wednesday at noon. Keith Hotchkiss said he was "disgusted."
