Another sorority cancels a fundraiser because it somehow offends a few people

Another sorority cancels a fundraiser because it somehow offends a few people:

The Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, which has held Jail ‘N Bail in previous years, and Zeta Beta Tau fraternity canceled the event to benefit Reading is Fundamental, a “children’s literacy nonprofit,” after some people complained it was “insensitive,” the Daily Northwesterner reported.

Judging by the paper’s attributions, that would be four people:

“You’re employing aspects, the orange jumpsuits, of an oppressive system that operates as a massive encumbrance to the lives and literacy rates of black and brown children in these ‘underprivileged’ areas,” Weinberg sophomore Alejandro Banuelos wrote in a comment.

“All of them should be ashamed,” SESP junior Maria Marquez wrote in a public Facebook post about the event.

In a letter to the editor published Sunday night in The Daily, Weinberg sophomore Ajay Nadigsaid the event idea was offensive on both racial and socioeconomic grounds. [The letter claims that "racism and classism" are "ubiquitous" at Northwestern and Greek life is an "economic overclass" that is "overwhelmingly white."]

Austin Romero, Associated Student Government vice president for diversity and inclusion, brought students’ concerns about the event to the organizers’ attention Sunday night.

The comments on the article are just as snarky as you would expect them to be.
