Sexism, Ivy League Style
Another Yale University fraternity has made headlines for being sexist and down right stupid. At a recent pledge initiation ceremony Yale’s chapter of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity had members shouting phrases like “No means yes, yes means anal” as they walked around campus.
The Huffington Post reports that last week DKE met with members of the school’s women’s center to apologize for the vulgar chants. The Yale Daily News reports that in an e-mail to the paper, DKE president Jordan Forney called the chants “inappropriate, disrespectful, and very hurtful to others.” He went on to say, “It was a serious lapse in judgement by the fraternity and in very poor taste,” and added that DKE does not condone sexual violence.
