Allegations that members of
Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity (DKE) chanted
homophobic slurs during an initiation event
Tuesday night led to the cancellation of
Friday’s Senior Cocktails early Thursday.
"I was disappointed. Both as a senior
specifically and that such an action was taken
based on allegations," said DKE President
Eric DiMario ’00. DKE would have hosted the
cocktails which were to be co-sponsored by
Wesleyan’s Queer Alliance (QA) and the
Senior Class.

We are writing this Wespeak in
response to the incidents which have taken place
over the last few days. A student has alleged
that on Tuesday night members of Delta Kappa
Epsilon chanted homophobic slurs in the courtyard
outside Butterfield. In response, the Queer
Allianse, who was co-sponsoring this week’s
Senior Cocktails scheduled to be held at our
house, withdrew their endorsement. As a
consequence, the Senior Board had no choice but
to cancel the event.

sponsorship of this week’s senior cocktails,
which would have been held at DKE. This decision
