U. of Illinois Sanctions for Alcohol and Code of Conduct Violations (ZBT & Tri Delta)

I actually don't think there's anything wrong with the theme of the party..."Tacos and Tequila." It's the way the members interpreted it that caused the problem. It could have just been a fiesta with Mexican food, beer and whatnot, but instead some members decided to use it as an opportunity to insult a demographic. I just don't understand how/why some people come up with ideas like that...I can't imagine most people hear of a "Tacos and Tequila" party and think, "Perfect! I'm going to come dressed up as a poor, pregnant Mexican woman!" It's just odd thinking.

Why?

SxyLambdaLady6 · #6 12-04-2006, 06:02 PM

bc there are def a lot less spanish greeks out there than in orlando.
and I know members of ZBT and Tri-Delt out here and I know they wouldnt be stupid enough to do that. They are cool with us bc they know us, prob not like those morons in Illinois that are prob a bunch of ignorant kids with nothing else to do.

Any more questions?

FYI..i go to U of I and the exchange was only called "Tacos and Tequila" by the newspapers and by other people on campus..it was just a fiesta themed exchange. (not that i'm defending it/them..just thought everyone should know)

I didn't want to mention this before, but I have definetly heard of these parties going on here at U of Florida. It was sickening, especially when I saw the photos

My point is that these parties can happen anywhere.

I think there is a lot wrong with it. Campus rules limit alcohol consumption to BYOB beer or wine coolers, so you can not serve tequila. Also, DDD's rules do not allow their name to be associated with a party theme involving alcohol.

I think you are trying to say that there is nothing wrong with a fiesta theme, and I would agree with that.
