Fraternities and sororities will no longer be allowed at Swarthmore College following outrage over years-old documents allegedly written by one fraternity there that contains derogatory comments about women and the LGBTQ community and jokes about sexual assault.

斯沃斯莫尔学院将不再允许兄弟会和女生联谊会,此前，该校一个兄弟会多年前编写的文件引发众怒，其中包含对女性和LGBTQ(女同性恋者lesbians、男同性恋者gays、双性恋者bisexuals、跨性别者transgender和酷儿queer的英文字母缩略词)群体的贬损言论，以及有关性侵犯的笑话。

School President Valerie Smith made the announcement Friday in a letter posted on the college's website.

学校校长瓦莱丽·史密斯于周五在学校网站上发表了这一声明。

Smith says the school's lone sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta, can continue with its current members through the spring 2022 semester but can't recruit or initiate new members.

史密斯说，该校唯一的女生联谊会Kappa Alpha Theta可以继续保有现有成员，一直到2022年春季学期，但不能招募或招收新成员。

Swarthmore's decision comes about a week after the only two fraternities at the private liberal arts college in suburban Philadelphia decided to disband following the internal documents' release.

在费城郊区私立文理学院仅有的两所兄弟会在内部文件公布后决定解散一周后，斯沃斯莫尔才做出了这个决定。

"The voluntary disbanding of Phi Psi and Delta Upsilon reflects a broader change in student needs and desires. ”

“自愿解散Phi Psi和Delta Upsilon反映了学生需求和愿望的全面变化。”

“Exclusive, dues-paying social organizations no longer effectively meet the needs of our residential liberal arts environment," Smith wrote in her statement.

“排他性、付费的社会组织已经不再有效地满足我们居住的人文环境的需求，”史密斯在声明中写道。

In mid-April, two campus publications released the Phi Psi documents from 2012 to 2016 they said were anonymously leaked.

4月中旬，两家校园出版物发布了Phi Psi 2012年至2016年的文件，称这些文件是匿名泄露的。

In the wake of the documents' release, dozens of students occupied the Phi Psi house and called for both fraternities to be shut down and the buildings put to other uses.

文件公布后，数十名学生占领了Phi Psi学院，要求关闭这两个联谊会，并将其用于其他用途。

The authenticity of the documents has not been verified.

这些文件的真实性尚未得到证实。

Swarthmore had suspended fraternity activity while it investigated.

斯沃斯莫尔在调查期间暂停了兄弟会的活动。

The sorority wasn't affected during that time.

在那期间，女生联谊会还没有受到影响。

Both fraternity houses are on campus and owned by the college.

两所联谊会都位于校园里，归学院所有。

The Phi Psi house was primarily used for parties and other social activities.

Phi Psi住宅主要用于聚会和其他社交活动。

The college has said both fraternities had decided to relinquish their houses, and Smith said in her statement that long-term plans for the use of the properties are still to be decided.

该学院表示，两所兄弟会都已决定放弃他们的房子，史密斯在声明中表示，使用这些房子的长期计划仍有待决定

An email to Kappa Alpha Theta's national office seeing comment was sent.

他们向Kappa Alpha Theta的国家办公室发了一封电邮期望得到回复。
