Feminists Force Cancellation Of Fundraiser For Domestic Abuse Victims
In 2016, feminists objected to a fraternity fundraiser at University of Maryland because they said it objectified women. The fundraiser was raising money this year for a domestic abuse shelter. Acording to the University of Maryland student newspaper, “Sigma Chi’s signature weeklong charity event, Derby Days, is held by the majority of the national fraternity’s 241 chapters. The fraternity invites this university’s chapters of sororities to compete with one another for points to raise money. Typical events include banner-making and obstacle courses, and the week culminates in a Derby Darling pageant.”
