Rage Against the Frat Party

Students Protest Fraternity Parties

After two Cornell University fraternities held parties featuring racially-charged themes, two other groups held a protest on campus to proclaim their disgust.

According to the Cornell Daily Sun, Lambda Chi Alpha held a themed social event called the "South of the Border" party, while Sigma Alpha Epsilon held another party called "International Borders." Black Students United and another group called United Progressives and Amnesty International held a rally to put a stop to such parties.

“We are not here to make examples of these two fraternities ... But this should not be tolerated, we should not have to wait until things get bad enough,” said an angry student.

“It is a disgusting idea that I attend Cornell and that it fosters racism and creates stereotypes," said another.
