Racial Intolerance at Ames Iowa State University

I tried to cultivate friendships with international students, they were a big part of my time at Iowa State University. Unfortunately one of the main living centers for internationals was next door to Alpha Sigma Phi. When I would tell an international friend that I lived at Alpha Sigma Phi they would invariably relate horror stories of having racial slurs yelled at them and of having drinks thrown at them when walking past the house. In all fairness this didn’t happen often, just when the most obnoxious members were drinking and having a party. Members would congregate on the second floor balcony and have easy access to people on the sidewalk. As they became more drunk they became more obnoxious to passing international student, yelling racial slurs and throwing liquids at them.
