Perhaps she meant that she chooses to not freak out at every supposed slight, therefore saving herself from assdom.
And perhaps the Theta chapter postponed their planned fundraiser because they felt the negative publicity generated from the poster would have a negative affect on said fundraiser. Maybe they are checking to see if serving Nachos will offend anyone.
I would hope that if a similar situation arises in future and something offends someone, that person would weigh the consequences of his/her hurt feelings vs. the event and the charity it will benefit and think seriously if the offense is so aggregious as to cause the event to be cancelled.
The needs of the many(CASA) should outweigh the needs of the few.
