Sorority Apologizes For ‘Insensitive’ Display of School Spirit

The Gamma Phi Beta sorority at the University of North Dakota has apologized for what has been deemed an “insensitive” and “offensive” display of school spirit, and its members face sensitivity training and possible sanctions.

The sorority sisters hung a banner outside their house that referenced the school’s former “Fighting Sioux” nickname and logo; it stated: “You can take away our mascot but you can’t take away our pride – Mens 2014 NCAA Frozen Four” – in support of the school’s hockey team in the NCAA Frozen Four in Philadelphia this week.

But some on the campus quickly dubbed the banner “insensitive,” including UND President Robert Kelley, who chided the young women for putting it up during the university’s “Time Out Week,” a campus-wide celebration of Native American culture and history. Making matters worse, the Gamma Phi Beta sorority house is next to the American Indian Student Services building.

“The banner and the timing of the banner … demonstrated a lack of sensitivity,” Kelley wrote in a statement. “I do appreciate that the banner was quickly removed. UND has a long-standing respect for the rights guaranteed by the First Amendment, which we teach in many of our academic programs. Along with that, we have a critical responsibility to promote respect and civility within our campus community.”

In a statement posted on Facebook on Wednesday, UND’s Gamma Phi Beta chapter apologized for the “lack of respect displayed by hanging an insensitive banner” outside their house.

“We cannot express to you how terrible our members feel that our actions have caused so many hurt feelings,” the statement continued. “We are aware of the negative feelings this has caused and would like to offer our assistance to help take a stand against future insensitivities on our campus.”
