IFC statement says e-mail did not originate at USC

USCs Interfraternity Council released a statement Thursday to clear up rumors that have been circulating about the viral e-mail that was linked to USCs Kappa Sigma Fraternity.
In the statement, IFC and the Panhellenic Council condemn the racism, sexism, and other bigoted content of the e-mail, and provide several updates on the investigation into the e-mails origins.
The e-mail, the statement says, did not originate at USC. According to IFC, the e-mail was forwarded to USCs Kappa Sigma chapter by someone who is not a registered member of the USC greek community.
IFC and PHC will be taking a stand against the offensive language and concepts that were in the e-mail, according to the statement.
The two organizations have created a Gentlemans Pledge for every fraternity member at USC, and it was signed by all of the fraternity presidents. The Pledge emphasizes proper conduct and respect toward all women and individuals.
The two councils will also work with the Womens Student Assembly and the Center for Women and Men to fight sexual violence.
IFC and PHC plan to further review the priorities on The Row.
