The Kappa Delta sorority has apologized for congratulating Amy Coney Barrett, a member of the group at Rhodes College, on being nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court.
On Sept. 28, several days after President Trump nominated Barrett, the sorority said while it remains politically neutral it recognizes Barret’s “significant accomplishments” as a federal judge.
“KD alumna Amy Coney Barrett was nominated to serve on the Supreme Court. While we do not take a stand on political appointments, we recognize Judge Coney Barrett’s significant accomplishment. We acknowledge our members have a variety of views and a right to their own beliefs,” Kappa Delta wrote on Twitter.
The tweet has since been deleted and, according to the College Fix, the following day the sorority issued an apology for causing any offense with their “hurtful” approach and thanked critics for “holding us accountable.”
