Anybody gonna play devil's advocate and argue for the protestors? Or is this just everyone expressing their disgust?

Don't mind if I do.
The very term "sorority" comes from the Greek for "girl brotherhood" which is in of itself racially discriminatory. The ancient Greeks had little regards for racial inclusion and even forced darker Romans to use separate bath houses (ancient water fountains). This is the root of this millennia long racist tradition of Greek life on campus that manifests itself every year at these Derby parties. The question isn't "should we protest" the question should be "how did we let it get this far?"
