Problems arose because a single student, junior Daniela Hernandez, was offended by the party’s 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.

We Italians have been insulted by Americans ever since helicopters were invented.

There fixed it.

Can you say Affirmative Action Dartmouth enrolee?

I knew you could.

Just goes to show how desperate the ‘smart’ academics are. they can’t even see the implications of their action.

Chag is still available. Maybe we'll eventually wind up speaking Hebrew, one word at a time.

Are you offended that the Kroc empire passes off “McDonald” as an Irish name?

[Robert A Cook PE]

Wanna bet the “easily offended one” esta una alien illegal?

I think they know full well the long term implications of their actions. They just don’t care, because in the short-mid term, embracing such lunacy will help their careers.

Even so, no matter how much of a hell hole they turn this [once great] country into, they imagine they and their ilk will always be protected if they just say the right words. I’m sure the North Korean “elite” have the same mind set. In a twisted way, it is akin to a religious act of faith.

Since there were actually MacDonald brothers that started it, were they Irish?

The original mascot, Speedee, doesn’t look Irish to me.

So is it black affirmative action or was she given an illegal alien scholarship or both?

“It’s a fee, Esther...”

That only works if spoken in a NY accent by dropping the "r" and replacing it with an "ah"

Thank you for looking into this. I wish FReepers would read each post before going off the deep end, and taking statements at face value. Hope to read some campus reaction —— on either side.

What? No fat, no fiesta and no fried?

[Texan5]

They’re just on a fishing expedition to get negative attention, Rob-and they need to get over it. I say “fiesta”-in fact, it is fiesta time in SA, 35 miles away. I call illegals mojado, too but that isn’t offensive-maybe because of my ethnicity-sort of like black people using the n-word-and I don’t see anything in the constitution that says anyone of us has the right not to be offended...

[righttackle44]

I think we have to coin a new word. Stupided.

"Now days, many young people go to college to get stupided by the faculty and administration."

Since the Acts of Union of 1607
There is no Acts of Union of 1607 that I can find, and if there was, WTF does it have to do with shamrocks?

• When he arrived in Ireland in 431, Patrick used the shamrock to teach Pagans about the Holy Trinity.
• He would tell listeners that the three leaves of the shamrock represented Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
• The shamrock emblem which has become synonymous with the 17th of March and everything Irish.
• Has been registered as a trademark by the Government of Ireland.

[headsonpikes]

I believe ‘enstupidated’ is the neologism of choice.

[Organic Panic]

Ay Carumba!

Relajate Francisco!

[morphing libertarian]

Change it to Phesta and let the illegals stew about something else. The Italians will appreciate the wit.

What kind of tyranny is it that events like this are cancelled when one idiot decides to be offended?
