Dear community,

Recently, chapter was notified about concerns regarding the Ladies' Night event. First off, we'd like to emphasize that our goal as an organization is to unite the community through engaging programs via awareness, controversial topics, or just plain fun.

Yesterday, to our surprise we were notified about this event being viewed as commodifying women by a particular group of people.Though we do not share these views and did not have this intention regarding the ex*****on of the event, we have since then wanted to proceed cautiously and take everyone's viewpoint into account prior to taking any action.

Quite frankly, this is a matter that should not be taken lightly and should involve everyone in the community as the issues at hand touch on a far deeper issue than that of a simple social gathering. In addition, situations like these should be approached with understanding and respect for everyone's view points without combative and bigoted action taken prior to discussions.

Moving forward, we will be re-evaluating and modifying the Ladies' Night event. In addition, we will begin programming discussions set for later in the semester regarding the issues at hand to allow people to voice their opinions in a safe open-minded space and spread awareness to those unaware without attacking them. Overall, our goal as an organization is to support the community however we can.

Sincerely,
The Hermanos
