There was the Mather House Creed, which some people had problems with because it didn't address the issue directly. It was a 'Mather-feel-good' type of deal. Be nice to everybody, say hello to your neighbors, yeah whatever. A lot of students were upset about it...so another group of students not affiliated with House...
