45 degrees today. This is 
when the Michiganders 
start to stand out among the 
student masses: By your flip-
flops we shall know ye. 

Football fans looking 

forward to additional perks 

associated with University 

of Michigan wins are going 

to be disappointed this year. 

Ruth’s Chris Steak House 

will no longer be offering 

its Score Big Promotion, 

which gave customers a 

discount of up to 50 percent 

off on their food depending 

on Michigan’s margin of 

victory.

When asked whether the 

promotion would continue 

this year, the restaurant’s 

Facebook page stated it 

would not be valid for 2017, 

replying with, “That was 

2016’s promotion only.”

“Attention #UMfootball 

fans! When Michigan 

wins, you win!” last year’s 

Facebook post read, 

with hashtags such as 

#supportthehometeam and 

#thisishowitsdone included 

in the main body.

Following every UM win, 

the restaurant received an 

overwhelming number of 

reservations and customers 

bringing up the discount.

Michigan’s win against 

Rutgers University last fall 

is likely one of the reasons 

it won’t be bringing the 

promotion back; with a 

78-0 point score, the game 

marked the largest margin 

of victory in approximately 

90 years.

The restaurant quickly 

pointed out its terms and 

conditions capped the 

discount at 50 percent, 

much to the dissatisfaction 

and amusement of multiple 

customers.

Though this deal 

won’t be coming back, the 

restaurant hinted at a new 

surprise to come this season.

ON THE DAILY: STEAKHOUSE CHOPS FOOTBALL SEASON SALES 

JOHN YAEGER/Daily

A student receives free pizza as part of a back-to-school promotion at Pizza House on Wednesday.

FRE E-Z A

Welcome Week has come 

and gone — but with every 
year comes a controversy and 
the question of safety and 
inclusion with Greek Life and 
student-run parties. 

Themed parties

A trend often seen is the 

adoption 
of 
a 
minority’s 

cultural 
traditions 
by 
a 

majority 
group, 
called 

cultural appropriation.

This 
summer, 
the 

University’s chapter of the 
Delta Sigma Phi fraternity 
recently faced criticism for a 
planned Ancient Egyptian-
themed party, which was later 
canceled after facing backlash 
from 
University 
student 

activists and social media.

The 
fraternity’s 
now-

deleted Facebook invitation 
invited people to “honor our 
Egyptian roots and join us 
on the night of September 1st 
to celebrate our newly built 
pyramid” and “come to Delta 
Sig as a mummy, Cleopatra 
or King Tut it doesn’t matter 
to us. Get your best ancient 
Egyptian robe and headdress 
and be ready to party in the 
desert. Be careful though, it’s 
going to get HOT.”

Business junior Yasmeen 

Afifi, 
president 
of 
the 

University’s 
Egyptian 

Student Association, voiced 
her concerns about the party 
theme in a Facebook post. 
As an Egyptian herself, Afifi 
found 
the 
party’s 
theme 

disrespectful.

“It is more saddening to see 

students from the top public 
university in the United States 

engaging in these ignorant 
stereotypes,” she wrote. “My 
Egyptian roots are far more 
significant 
than 
a 
simple 

costume or a lame party.”

University 
members 
of 

Delta Sig were unable to 
comment on the situation. 

The situation echoes the 

2013 Theta Xi incident, when 
the University’s chapter of the 
frat planned to host a “World 
Star Hip Hop Presents: Hood 
Ratchet 
Thursday” 
party. 

The party was canceled due 
the theme’s appropriation of 
Black culture which offended 
many. 

The invite page, hosted by 

now University alum Allen 
Wu, 
called 
all 
“rappers, 

twerkers, gangsters (no Bloods 
allowed), 
thugs, 
basketball 

players, bad bitches, ratchet 
pussy.”

Wu went on to justify the 

party’s theme by stating it 
was directed toward hip-
hop music, not African 
American 
culture. 

In 
an 
opinion 
piece 

published by the Daily, 
Wu explained his longing 
for 
a 
society 
where 

music 
genres 
are 
not 

immediately 
associated 

with a racial identity.

“It pains me to see 

that 
‘hip-hop 
parties’ 

are 
immediately 
cast 

under a racial lens, even 
if not so intended,” Wu 
wrote. “Just because we 
celebrate and enjoy the 
music and terminology 
used by predominantly 
Black 
hip-hop 
artists, 

that does not mean we are 
attempting to appropriate 
Black culture.”

Wu 
still 
received 

disapproval. 
Due 
to 

students’ concern with 
the party’s theme, an 
email 
from 
University 

officials 
condemning 

the party was sent to all 
students. The email was
