According to the CAPAA, the series of racialized incidents began last
October as members of a California State University, Sacramento Asian
sorority were berated with racial slurs by members of a predominantly
white UC Davis fraternity as they were creating a message with rocks
at the Yolo Causeway levee , a traditional activity for greek organizations.
During the same month, a melee inside an apartment between a group of
Korean Americans affiliated with a fraternity and a group of white males
in another UC Davis fraternity resulted in the arrest of two white males.
In December, law enforcement officials diffused a brawl at the Yolo Causeway
levee between more than 70 members of a white fraternity and three UC Davis
Asian fraternities.
There are numerous other recent, less substantiated incidents of hostilities,
including racial slurs during intramural games and local bars, according to
CAPAA.
Another notable hate crime incident at UC Davis occurred on Mar. 1997. The
California Aggie, the campus newspaper, reported that vandals defaced nine
of 14 student murals and specifically targeted two of the murals , the Young
Black Scholars club and Delta Lambda Phi, the UC Davis gay fraternity. The
two murals were found with explicit hate language and swastikas.
