But theres more to the story. We have the details. George . Well, raj, the cage in question has . i destroited for the last three years the fraternity would put up the cage up for halloween parties. While they say it was a halloween prop, others say it was offensive. It was what i saw every day walking to school. What she saw stand in a lot was this, a wooden cage with hanging chains and a stripper pole, and words painted on top that are too vulgar to say on television. I was like, its too long for it not to be up. You take it out of that context and it was more horrific and offensive. Sonia asked the people that live in the home, members of the fraternity to take it down and when she refused she told her friend who was equally offended. She saw it as a symbol of human trafficking. They are held in cages that look like that. She expressed anger in her blog, and when the fraternity saw the blog, they destroyed the cage. The president of the fraternity said that the cage was just a halloween prop. They are connecting sex trafficking with that halloween prop, what a stretch. And i really did not appreciate. Theres a lot of People Associated with our fraternity and a lot of peoples reputation was tarnished when she made thatizatithat accusation. If it did not look that kind of cage, then women would not have had that reaction. We are not going to defend the language. But it was destroyed immediately also. And i do apologize, if that statement offended anybody. It was recommendless and silly. She accepted the apology but said there needs to be a bigger conversation going forward. I think theres discussions that need to take place at the university, and i hope that this will lead to the discussions. Now, this incident happened off campus, but university put out a statement saying, quote, the cage came to the antagonize of the university this week and is totally counter to everything, sorry about that, we have a lot of students running around me. This is counter to everything that the University Stands for, students living on and off campus are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that is consistent with the goals of our institution. A student that is found responsible for violating the student conduct code is subject to discipline. Thank you, george.
