We saw an extremely 1970s film in our Human Sex class.

Appropriate for a GLO to sponsor? No. Appropriate for the interhall council or the volleyball team to sponsor? No. Appropriate for the Gender and Sexuality Resource Center to sponsor? Yes. It's pretty much in their name.

A sorority who specializes in sex toys. Sounds like every bad teen movie stereotype that you can think up.

LOL. Let us know what you find out.



I don't think there's anything wrong with this on a college campus. A GLO isn't sponsoring it, so what's the big deal?

ETA: Dumb 18 year old bringing a flyer home where her mom could see it who called the news and ruined everyone's fun.

But that chapter would get in trouble depending on the content of the event.

The name of the event is catchy however I would want a Delta chapter to choose a different name for the event. Sex toys are NOT us. Our Sorority doesn't specialize in sex toys. (Not because sex toys are shameful but because it isn't the Sorority's purpose and specialization.)

I agree on both points.

No. I'm in agreement with Dr. Phil re: the chapter changing the name etc..
