CSU Fullerton has placed the CSUF chapter of Alpha Delta Pi on probation, with conditions including the development of a "We are a culture, not a costume" educational campaign for the campus.
As described in the Orange County Register, Tuesday night student party-goers wore costumes that evoked stereotypes and caricatures associated with Latino culture. A number of students were dressed in attire assumed to be typical of criminal street gangs.
Accepting responsibility and the conditions of probation, sorority president Mikel Floth said: ""We are profoundly embarrassed about our naivete and lack of judgment."
Speaking for the University, Dean of Students Tonantzin Oseguera noted: "This is a pervasive issue in student organizations throughout our nation ... we are not so naive as to think that this is the first instance of such behavior at CSUF."
