Halloween
can be a fun time and dressing up can be a way to be someone else for a few
hours, but this Halloween we ask that you consider your costume choices
carefully.
The posters below show students from Ohio
University standing up to cultural stereotypes depicted in Halloween costumes.
The students are part of the STARS program which, according to their website,
“aims to raise awareness about social justice, and promote racial
harmony.” You can learn more about the group HERE.
Before
you dress up, ask yourself some serious questions:
· Is
my costume supposed to be funny? Is the humor based on making fun of real
people, human traits or cultures?
· Does
my costume perpetuate stereotypes, misinformation, or historical and cultural
inaccuracies?
· Would
I want my costume pictured in the next issue of ANCHORA?
Halloween
is no excuse to damage property, your credibility as a Delta Gamma, or your
relationships. Please be safe and responsible.
Remember
that Delta Gamma was founded on promoting education and cultural interests and
a sense of social responsibility.
We
know that you will “Do Good” this Halloween.
