By Hayley Peterson PUBLISHED: 12:19 EST, 18 September 2013 | UPDATED: 12:26 EST, 18 September 2013 The University of Alabama's president says she's making changes to the sorority system after it was revealed last week that the Greek organizations are racially segregated. Acknowledging that the student groups practiced blatant discrimination, University President Judy Bonner ordered the school's 18 all-white sororities to reopen recruitment, which ended in August, and begin accepting new members. 'While we will not tell any group who they must [accept], the University of Alabama will not tolerate discrimination of any kind,' Bonner said in a video statement posted to the university's website.
