Description

From Kira Parrish-Penny '24's blog post: "April 1973 brought one of the most brazen instances of harassment from those first few years [of coeducation]. It was the morning after 'Sink Night,' the culmination of rush, when pledges commit to their fraternities. A letter addressed to 'C***s' was slipped under the door of every room in the all-female Woodward Hall. It demanded that women make certain changes in order for 'all of us to live in harmony.'"
