Swarthmore’s Fraternities Disbanded After Student Uproar. Protesters Say They’re Staying Put.
After dozens of fellow students stormed their houses in protest of what the student newspaper described as a “cult of misogyny,” Swarthmore College’s fraternities voted to voluntarily disband and vacate their houses Tuesday. But the protesters say they’re not going anywhere.
“We want [the school] to formally confirm that there will be a process in place for next year to reallocate the houses,” said Daria Mateescu, one of the protesters who slept in front of the Phi Psi fraternity for four days. “We want an agreement that [the fraternities] will be permanently dissolved.”
She added, “We want permanent measures to prevent us from ever having to do something like this again.”
