Last week the sun came out for a few glorious days. Many of us found ourselves outside enjoying the sun, but disgusted by the other girls around. For some reason when the sun came out, the Honor Code disappeared and quite a few girls walked around barely clothed (even by the world's standards). It was disturbing and rather frustrating. Katherine and I wondered what the boys must be thinking with all the sluttiness running around. Then Katherine found this letter to the editor in the Daily Universe and I LOVE IT!!! so I had to put it up here.
To the women who think it's acceptable to wear tank tops and short shorts out to tan in Helaman Quad, I submit the following:
"And young women, please understand that if you dress immodestly, you are magnifying this problem by becoming pornography to some of the men who see you." Dallin H. Oaks, General Conference, April 2005.
It is hard enough for the young men of the Church to keep a clean mind and a pure heart without you lying around half-naked right outside our dorms. Please be more considerate of not only the BYU Honor Code, but also of the spiritual well being of the men you date. We are doing our best to be worthy to enter the temple and serve the Lord as missionaries. Could you help us out by wearing modest clothing?
