      Throughout the first session of CTY Carlisle, Brogres or "The Church Of Shrek" followers were mercilessly persecuted. The issue was brought to light by a massive gathering, which was more than a dozen people strong, near a Mod Sat soccer activity. The gathering labeled themselves "The Church Of Shrek" and appointed a priest to chant "Shrek is love, Shrek is life.", a quote from the popular 2014 YouTube video "Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life", and the followers would respond with the same quote. 
      RAs and instructional staff to some varying degrees quickly were educated about the video and began giving out sanctions, usually five minutes off of Meet Market, life to anyone who made references to the Shrek video (e.g. "It's all ogre" or "Shrek is love, Shrek is life".) While certain staff members did persecute any remote references to Shrek, others simply persecuted references specifically pertaining to the "Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life" video, not to the movie.
      The new policies against Shrek were deemed silly and oppressive by students and actually led more students to the "Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life" fandom. Other students challenged RAs by directly saying banned Shrek references and were persecuted sometimes.
