Party invitations can now be offensive too. Especially, at Harvard it seems.

Spee Club Apologizes After Party Invitation Controversy

The Spee Club issued an apology on Thursday night after it circulated a controversial invitation promoting a party scheduled for Saturday night.

The invitation, which students received over email early Wednesday, advertised a “pajama party” to be held Saturday at the all-male final club’s building on Mount Auburn Street. The email included both an image, which appeared to be drawn, and a link to a video hosted on YouTube.

The drawing, titled “Playbear,” depicted a bear wearing a robe, pants, and hat, with its arm around a woman dressed in tights and a sleeveless top. The email linked to a video that included multiple clips of women wearing underwear and male and female models walking a runway, as well as a clip from the song “Stay the Night.” The video, which was previously public on YouTube, was made private and then removed Thursday evening, after it prompted criticism from students and other social club members.
