"Fraternities were founded on exclusion tied to race, class and gender/gender presentation," wrote Peter Amadeo, a senior. "Although it may seem less explicit now, they still operate under these exclusions, thus resulting in homogenous groups of white heteromasculinity. As a result, they tend to perpetuate racism, misogyny, and homophobia, which is why people of color, women, and queer folk often feel uncomfortable/unsafe in these spaces."
