The student union president of Halifax’s Saint Mary’s University says he made the “biggest mistake” of his life after a notorious chant promoting non-consensual sex with underage girls was used to rally first-year students during frosh week.
The chant, which was captured on video during orientation week activities and later posted on Instagram, has sparked outrage both across the country and on the east-coast university campus.
“It’s a mistake. It’s definitely the biggest mistake I’ve made throughout my university career and probably my life,” Jared Perry, president of Saint Mary’s University Student Association, told reporters on Thursday.
A controversial chant was performed by 80 student leaders in front of about 300 of their first-year peers at Saint Mary’s University on Monday.
He was joined by the 80 student leaders who led the chant, which included the phrases: “Y is for your sister,” “U is for underage,” and “N is for no consent.” It was performed on Monday in front of approximately 300 first-year students.
