Anyway, MEChA should do a campus-wide event instead of passionately handling this case-by-case. They don't have enough background information to confront people in this manner. As the woman who answered the door (it sounded fun inside the sorority house) stated, there was more to the story for the costumes. I am glad the woman who answered the door seemed familiar with the issue of insensitive costumes and assured MEChA that her chapter does not partake in such nonsense. I hope they really don't.
LOL @ all 3 of them being a bit out of breath and uncomfortable. That could've gone downhill quickly. The woman from MEChA talked over the woman at the door a few times. Not a good look. Hopefully MEChA learned from this experience.

And that's what people are complimenting the young lady on doing: taking a situation that could have gone downhill and handling it like a mature adult. She didn't downplay their concerns or blow them off. She addressed the issue.

People who don't normally comment in threads with mentions of race, and certainly not the Halloween costume threads, are in this thread doing jumping jacks. Interesting.

Nobody's doing jumping jacks or suggesting that the Tri Delta member be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. They were just saying that she handled it well.

Again, nobody's putting out streamers and balloons. They just said that the young lady handled what could have turned into a bad situation nicely.
