probably have more disdain for the sorority, tbh.
Right there with you. The protesters are idiots and misguided, but I have to believe that they've at least convinced themselves that they're doing something noble. The sorority just comes off as cowardly.
You don't stop these people by shouting then down but you sure as shite don't stop them by caving.
As unfortunate as it is, you only stop this by engaging these folks and force them to examine their own positions with reason.

Sooner rather than later, the pendulum will begin to pick up momentum in the other direction. This kind of batshit crazy holiness spiral will not last.

Sure, they changed the party theme, but they are still having the party and it is still as exclusive as ever. The themes at these things don't really matter anyway, it's just an excuse to have a party.

You cannot reason with the unreasonable.
All you can do is treat them like toddlers (who are also unreasonable): ignore the stupidity until it goes away.

These people don't have the ability to reason, that's the problem.
