Members of the Lehigh community participate in the March of Voices on April 11.
By ALI KAMINETSKY
The University Center front lawn was filled with students, faculty and families who came out to enjoy Lehigh’s 27th annual international bazaar on Sunday.
The event allowed all members of the Lehigh community to enjoy a cultural trip around the globe through music, food and attire.
Each year, the international bazaar celebrates the diverse cultures that comprise Lehigh’s community while bringing together its international students and faculty.
Flags from countries around the world lined Memorial Drive.
“Each year, Lehigh admits students from different parts of the globe, and I think it means a lot to them that their flag is present at the event along with all the other flags that represent all the countries Lehigh’s international students have come from,” Kima Wilkinson,’14, said.
The combination of a warm, sunny day, delicious food and great music generated a high turnout, rendering the UC front lawn full of people.

Sigma Chi fraternity has been placed on interim suspension due to 10 alleged violations of the University Code of Conduct related to the vandalism of UMOJA House in November.
As indicated by the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs’ blog, the fraternity faces charges for four violations of respect for others, two violations of respect for property, three violations of respect for community and one violation of respect for self, as outlined in the code of conduct.
An email sent by Provost Patrick Farrell to the Lehigh community Tuesday evening stated that both the fraternity and two individual members of the chapter have been formally charged.
One of the students has been suspended on an interim basis, along with the chapter.
According to a statement from Sigma Chi National Fraternity Headquarters’ Executive Director Michael Church, the headquarters was made aware of the allegations against its Lehigh chapter Tuesday.
“Pursuant to our own Statement of Policy on Human Decency and Dignity, Sigma Chi is committed to the principle that dignity, self-esteem and respect are inalienable rights of every individual and, further, that acts of harassment or intolerance are unacceptable in any form,” Church said in an email Wednesday.
“We stand ready to assist appropriate authorities in the investigation of the heinous acts that occurred on the campus of Lehigh University on November 6, 2013 at such time when we may be welcome in that investigation process,” he said.
Church said that the national headquarters is not aware of credible evidence that connects Sigma Chi to the UMOJA vandalism.
He added that the headquarters supports “the efforts underway to bring responsible individuals to account so that justice can prevail.”
There will be a student conduct hearing prior to the last day of classes, which will determine whether those charged are responsible for the alleged violations.
The university will release the final outcome of the hearing to the

More than 100 students participated in a campus-wide march organized by Lehigh’s Feminist Alliance on Friday in an attempt to make a statement about victimization and marginalization on campus.
The event was named the March of Voices as a spinoff of the movement called the SlutWalk, said Adam Murray, ’14, one of the event’s organizers. The SlutWalk is a national movement of protest marches that began in 2011. These marches aim to protest using any aspect of a woman’s appearance as an explanation or
