Pictures of Vietnamese Halloween costumes worn at a University of North Carolina fraternity party are drawing criticism from other students. reports the Daily Tar Heel.
Some students have expressed concerns the party’s theme was insensitive, but Delta Kappa Epsilon’s president says the Vietnam War was not supposed to be the theme.
The theme, according to Stephen Stephano, was the 60’s and 70’s and that he stood at the door to watch for any offensive outfits.
“Some people wore camo,” he said. “I did not see rice hats, I saw some other things.”
Interfraternity Council President Peter Blumberg defended Stephano.
