No More Same Sex Only Safe Spaces at Harvard

MSN-

Harvard University’s all-female sorority Kappa Alpha Theta is set to become gender-neutral and change its name to “Theta Zeta Xi” amid the school’s crackdown on single-gender social clubs.

The administration is officially penalizing members of single-gender social clubs, with penalties such as barring members of such clubs from holding student leadership positions, varsity athletic team captaincies and even from receiving College endorsement for fellowships.

“This decision reflects our commitment to supporting our members as they take full advantage of the academic and leadership opportunities available to them as Harvard students, which we believe is central to our mission,” the statement added, pointing out that the members of the sorority voted unanimously to become all-gender club.

The sorority previously took a different stance. Last year, after Harvard administration voted to adopt the sanctions on single-gender clubs, the group released a statement pledging to continue its tradition of allowing only women to be the members…

“These sanctions unfairly force women to choose between the opportunity to have supportive, empowering female-only spaces and external leadership opportunities,” the statement read.

  1. Yes, let’s keep pretending there are no differences between the sexes. Surely if we deny it enough, everything will be sprinkles and rainbows and we will all live happily in our land of pretty clouds and socially-enforced gender-neutral clubs.

    Ridiculous nonsense.

  2. Kevin, that’s where I was going. You would think an institution of higher education, like Harvard, would have heard of the Constitution’s right to freedom of assembly. It won’t be long before university campuses become “Constitution-free” zones.
