During the first week of the spring semester, sisters of McDaniel’s Phi Sigma Sigma sorority and the Phi Delta Theta fraternity assembled in the Phi Delta Theta’s off-campus house near the end of Pennsylvania Avenue for an evening of music and drinking. The event was not a school-sanctioned social, but simply a weekend party.
The theme was “CMT versus BET,” or Country Music Television versus Black Entertainment Television. While the Phi Sigma Sigma sisters donned cut-off shorts, plaid shirts tied in the front, and boots, the brothers of Phi Delt wore baggy clothing, chains, and baseball hats turned backward.
While McDaniel’s Phi Delta Theta fraternity was not officially under investigation late last month for an inappropriately-themed party, the Office of Student Engagement did talk to the organization about the issues insensitive themes raise.
