Student is kicked out of Texas sorority for 'unsisterly' conduct after posting TikTok from pro-Trump rally of 'All Lives Matter' signs
A student at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) claims that she was kicked out of her sorority after posting pro-Trump content on her TikTok account.
Jaycie Barton is a student at the Texas school and was formerly a member of the Zeta Tau Alpha (ZTA) sorority at the school.
But she landed in hot water with her sorority sisters when she posted an eight-second TikTok in August at a pro-Trump demonstration, where signs were seen saying 'All Lives Matter' and 'Trump 2020.'
She claims she was reprimanded by the sorority for 'unsisterly' conduct, before being kicked out altogether, according to The Sun.
Jaycie Barton was a member of the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority at The University of Texas at San Antonio, where she also served as Risk Management Chair
In August, Barton posted a TikTok at a pro-Trump rally, which included signs such as 'All Lives Matter.' The sorority reprimanded Barton and accused her of being 'very unsisterly'
The sorority originally disciplined Barton and stripped of her title as Risk Management Chair for the sorority back in September.
A statement said: 'ZTA stands for Black Lives Matter and the statement All Lives Matter goes against ZTA's belief.'
The statement also called Barton 'very unsisterly.'
During a September hearing on the matter, one sorority sister reportedly said of Barton, 'Zeta Tau Alpha is trying to be more inclusive and saying, 'all lives matter,' is not being very inclusive.'
The phrase 'All Lives Matter' is usually used in rebuttal to those who say 'Black Lives Matter', with BLM supporters saying the phrase diminishes the impact of the movement.
'I took a video of some of the posters and signs that were there,' Barton told the Daily Caller. 'Some random guy — I couldn't even tell you who he was or what his name is — was holding a sign that said 'All Lives Matter. MAGA.'
She is now the school's chapter president of Turning Point USA, a right-wing organization founded by Charlie Kirk.
Barton has since been stripped of her title and kicked out of her sorority
The sorority originally disciplined Barton back in September, saying 'ZTA stands for Black Lives Matter and the statement All Lives Matter goes against ZTA's belief.'
In an interview with Breitbart, Barton defended her actions.
'It's pretty clear that I do support black lives,' Barton said. 'And I don't understand how the sorority cannot see that the word 'all' includes everyone.'
'I wasn't joining the sorority to be a supporter of BLM,' Barton continued.
'I joined for philanthropy, which was breast cancer education and awareness, and to work alongside our sisters that would be open to all members, regardless of their political opinions and beliefs.'
With over 34,000 students, UTSA is the largest university in San Antonio and one of the ten largest universities in the state of Texas.
Zeta Tau Alpha is one of six sororities on the campus.
