Campus Crackdown On Halloween Costumes
In 2016, Tufts University Greek life leaders warned members not to wear offensive or inappropriate Halloween costumes. The e-mail said, ‘Greek Brothers and Sisters have worn costumes that appropriate cultures and reproduce stereotypes on race, gender, sexuality, immigrant or socioeconomic status. Outfits relating to tragedy, controversy, or acts of violence are also inappropriate. We need to set a precedent that people’s customs cannot and will not be our costumes.”
