The wildly inappropriate and insensitive messages of “Frat Lives Matter” painted on rocks throughout our campus Monday morning do not in any way reflect the values or beliefs of the UConn Interfraternity Council or any of our 12 recognized member fraternities. We unequivocally condemn these messages, as well as those who painted them. UConn fraternity men have always, and will always, continue to hold themselves to the highest moral standards and strive to be leaders and role models within the community. The IFC fully stands behind UConn’s commitment to make this campus a home to all students. When this issue was brought to our attention, brothers from every fraternity on campus came together without hesitation to repaint the rocks with a message of unity, in an effort to show the campus what we as fraternity men stand for.
