According to recent reports, the University of Georgia implemented a new policy that prohibits students from wearing hoop skirts during activities organized by certain Greek clubs on campus. The garment, popular during the same period in which slavery in the American South was commonplace, has been deemed inappropriate by two university councils.
Students reportedly received a notification earlier this month from the presidents of the school’s Panhellenic Council and Interfraternity Council informing them that hoop skirts will not be allowed “in the context of some events,” prompting a swift reaction from many students.
Furthermore, the two council leaders explained they are not finished analyzing popular outfits for any sign of possible insensitivity “to ensure the appropriateness for our organizations.”
