Problems arose because a single student, junior Daniela Hernandez, was offended by the partys theme of Phiesta.
As a result, the soiree, which was scheduled for Saturday, has been canceled by the presidents of the respective Greek organizations.
Phi Delt president Taylor Catchcart explained why the Greek organizations folded.
We felt that the possibility of offending even one member of the Dartmouth community was not worth the potential benefits of having the fundraiser, he said.

If we were being invaded by Mexicans who looked like this, I'd be a coyote and carry them across in sedan chairs.
I am happy for that policy. It just helps me to know they would NEVER allow anyone to offend a Christian.
I guess they could have called it Montezuma’s Revenge!
Is it offensive to eat at a Fiesta Burrito (if yes, is take-out OK)?
Siesta must then be ok?
Sounds like a great way to shut down discussion of any topic at Dartmouth.
Probably not an issue since they specified the “Dartmouth community”.
LOL....great point.
Well we could also ponder the implications if you order one at a drive through in a Ford Fiesta?
Yes, John McCain is like a Jewish Nazi.
Fiesta, fiesta, fiesta. Deal with it.
Yes, I heard he is a member of the Church of Our Lady of the Perpetually Offended. So nice.
Do you know what Ireland means in Druid? “Land of the Scots.”

One must wonder when someone is going to crack and yell STFU to those easily offended idiots.
This is interesting. I read a little closer the statement made by Taylor Catchcart. “We felt that the possibility of offending even one member of the Dartmouth community was not worth the potential benefits of having the fundraiser.” Taylor Catchcart is also President of the Editorial Board at the Dartmouth Review, which is the “notorious” conservative newspaper at Dartmouth.
He employed the liberal orthodoxy of fear of offending anyone to cancel the event. But its a setup. He’s going out of his way to prove how absurd that particular part of the liberal mindset is.
Very nicely played. This should be fun to watch.
