Kate Coffey Associate Reporter

A Santa Clara fraternity came under fire last quarter after its Halloween decoration drew criticism from students and led to a highly publicized controversy surrounding misogyny and sex trafficking. The uproar spurred the creation of a new organization on campus that promotes women’s issues. For the past three years, the Sigma Pi fraternity has dis- played a black cage at its annual Halloween party. Complete with chains, red and purple lighting, and a stripper pole, the cage featured a new addition last October with the words “BAD B------ONLY” painted along its side. Tired of walking by the structure everyday, sophomore Tabitha Petrini contacted one of the fraternity members at the beginning of November and asked him to talk to his fraternity about the cage because she found it offensive. Petrini said she was told that the fraternity would discuss the matter internally. A week passed and Petrini, along with her friend, junior Sonia Ibrahimkhail, continued to pass the cage while walking to campus. The two students returned to the Sigma Pi house to voice their displeasure and were assured that the cage would be disassembled. But as the days wore on, the structure still stood in the house’s driveway and the only noticeable change was that the derogatory slur had been painted over. “The reason it just sat there was because we procrastinate at times,” said Sigma Pi President Pete O’Brien. “The thing should usually be in the garage.” A few days later, Petrini and Ibrahimkhail decided to protest the cage during a fraternity event in the house’s backyard by shouting over the fence in order to be heard loud and clear. The men in the backyard responded by booing and yelling, according to Petrini and Ibrahimkhail. The two women then reached out to their friend, Symone Jackson, for advice and guidance. Jackson, who was also of- fended by the cage and has since graduated from Santa Clara, published a Tumblr blog post on Nov. 15 entitled “Misogyny is alive and well at Santa Clara University in 2013.” The post linked the cage to those used in sex trafficking. Besides being widely circulated among Santa Clara stu- dents online, the national blog site, Thought Catalog, picked up Jackson’s piece. Despite the negative media attention, the

n one of the most frigid games in NFL history, the San Francisco I49ers overcame the Green Bay Packers in the first round of the play- offs this past weekend. Despite wind-chilled tempera- tures that felt like minus 15 on the field and a hostile crowd, the Niners ended Green Bay’s season with an imperfect, but decisive performance. The 49ers’ star quarterback Colin Kaepernick has proven to be a dy- namic player as well as one who is very exciting to watch. Although he brings an added dimension to the field with his running ability as he showed Sunday, he is young and has a lot to learn.

In such a close Freshman Jared Brownridge works to get around Loyola Marymount University’s Anthony Ireland.
