So today, someone decided it would be funny to write "E-Z" on the Delta Zeta turtle on my door. So I decided to write an e-mail to everyone in my dorm:
Capstone Scholars:
There have been multiple cases of vandalism to sorority signs throughout Capstone. Vulgar messages such as "____ sucks cock," "E-Z DZ," etc., have been written on these signs. To remind everyone, vandalism/destruction of someone else's property is ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE under University Policy. In addition, messages such as this perpetuate negative stereotypes of not only sororities, but Greek Life as a whole. Also, when you destroy a sign bearing the letters of a sorority or fraternity, you are not insulting one person--you are insulting an entire organization, which amounts to hundreds of people here on the USC campus.
The vandalism to these signs has absolutely got to stop. It is disrespectful and extremely hurtful. As Carolinians and Capstone scholars, we are expected to hold ourselves to a higher standard. Thus, this kind of behavior is unacceptable and unbecoming to anyone at USC and in the Capstone program. So whoever you are, STOP.
Sincerely,
Laura Dixon
