Daily Debriefing
(02/07/13 4:00am)
Nearly 500 Duke University students gathered Wednesday afternoon to protest an Asian-themed party hosted by Kappa Sigma fraternity on Feb. 1, Duke's student newspaper, The Chronicle, reported. Duke's Asian Students Association organized the rally to protest the party's theme and provoke a campus-wide discussion about broader racism at the university. Protestors called for the establishment of a new task force to address similar incidents and suggested that members of the fraternity engage in community service. Prior to the event, the fraternity sent out an invitation with offensive misspellings, such as "herro," and a meme of Kim Jong Il from the movie "Team America: World Police" (2004). A bias complaint was submitted to Duke's office of fraternity and sorority life and nearly led to the cancelation of the party, but the fraternity simply changed the theme from "Asia Prime" to "International Relations" in response. Members of Kappa Sigma issued a written apology to the student body on Wednesday.
