A Harvard sorority has decided to shut down after the Ivy League institution released a campus-wide order to single-gender student groups to go co-ed or forfeit campus opportunities.
Sorority Delta Gamma, a national organization, announced that the Zeta Phi-Cambridge Area chapter would close on Thursday.
The sorority claimed that the decision to close was a difficult one, but one they had to make as 'the value of sorority is too great', blaming the university's sanctions as the reason its dissolution in a press release.
Harvard gave single-gender student groups an ultimatum to become co-ed or be banned from holding leadership positions, captaining varsity athletic teams, and winning university endorsement for postgraduate fellowships, in an attempt to make the campus more inclusive.
Isn't this the gender neutral everyone wants? Heck you can just be any gender you want today! What bigoted horrible women, not wanting men to join!
I'm so tired of this garbage on college campuses. The world must think we're a bunch of candy azzes with our cry rooms and therapy dogs when someone beside the one we want gets into office. Jeez already.
This hyper-PC times we are in now is just dumb, dumb as a bag of hammers.
Interesting. I suspect the original concept was an anti-male one but now here we are with the 1st casualty being a sorority. My guess is they'll eventually change it to allow women to have female-only organizations and just ban men from having male-only organizations.
Young Ivy League ladies decide to keep their dignity and gently bury their Greek heritage rather than to bow to the empowered Marxists who hate them?
That isn't surprising. Good for them. Its a crying shame, but good for them.
