This is the third time that an MIT fraternity has appeared before the board in two years. The first of these incidents, the 1997 death of fraternity pledge Scott Krueger after a night of drinking, thrust MIT's drinking policy into the national spotlight.
The pledge now hangs prominently in the dining hall, along with the signatures of more than 300 supporters.
Some Mather students said they have not yet had the chance to read and sign the pledge. Many have also posted copies on their doors as a sign of solidarity.
Volfova and Lu agreed that the pledge--student-initiated, independent of the House, HoCo and all other University organizations--was a perfect way for the Mather community to voice its support for Muhammad and Harvard's gay community in general.
Volfova added that the pledge serves to rectify the notion that Mather House is an intolerant, homophobic place.
