A Case Western Reserve University fraternity is under investigation by its group’s national office following a Greek Week skit in which members wore Mexican sarapes and sombreros.

After a letter from Latino students, the university is also reviewing what occurred and how the Phi Delta Theta skit was included in the April 8 Variety Show.

“Phi Delta Theta’s insensitive costuming and dance routines, which include fraternity members dressing in Mexican sarapes and sombreros, played carelessly with stereotypes in an attempt to create a Mexican aesthetic,” the letter said. “Moreover, the script provided no legitimate historical context, included sexist language, as well as made reference to presidential candidate Donald Trump’s proposed policy to create a border wall. Overall, this performance created an environment of hurt and confusion for many Latinos in our community.”

The letter said CWRU Latino students are reminded daily “of our marginalization when our names are mispronounced, our accents are ridiculed, our culture is in the punchline to a joke, or even our citizenship in the country is questioned.”
