SBC: De-Fund Swarthmore's Fraternities Until 10% Female Membership Achieved
Final supporters
The student body has already voted in favor of admitting students of all genders to fraternities. Phi Psi's objectifying and offensive invitations are a bitter reminder that gender discrimination is an ongoing issue for these student groups. Permitting fraternities to distribute such images without public rebuke creates an unsafe and harassing environment for students at the college.
We are asking the Student Budget Committee to enforce the Spring 2013 referendum by placing a moratorium on allocating any and all funding for fraternity parties until they have achieved a minimum of 10% female membership, and formally change their policies to open membership to all students, irrespective of gender identity or presentation.

The momentum behind this request is undeniable. It is clear that the student body is finished with these discriminatory practices.

honestly so sick of the constant harassment. good luck getting these guys to actually listen though.
defund them now!! Tired of seeing this kind of junk on campus.
This is completely unacceptable in 2014. How are they still getting away with this behavior?
Finally. Cut their funding. They have had plenty of time to change their ways and they still choose to disrespect everyone.
total garbage. if they want money from the student budget they can play by the same rules as everyone else.
