Standing by my original comments, but now am concerned that protests are getting out of hand at UCLA. If anyone is interested, google the Los Angeles Times. You can read about protests on campus today and see some pics. I also recommend pulling up the ucla sig ep fb page. They posted a very appropriate apology and explanation regarding the theme of the party. The many posts on their fb page are interesting too. Reflecting both sides of the story. No formal statement from APhi yet. Perhaps their Nationals is working on it? Sadly, individuals in Alpha Phi have received threats. The sorority house had protestors out front and girls were fearful to leave the house to walk to class. There is a police presence at the house tonight to keep the girls safe. The vast majority of the costumes were a pun on the Kardashian women--big butt's, big lips, big boobs-- so what? Big deal. some girls dressed like Kanye in his baggy sweats and they smudged Kanye's bead/goatee on their lower faces-- it was NOT blackface. Other girls dressed up as "golddigers" and smudged "dirt" on parts of their faces. However, there may indeed have been some students in blackface. There are no pictures of that that I can find.
