When I read the RS piece I was in disbelief that such a thing could occur and everyone around be so callous to it. As a fraternity man it was disgusting that something so brutal would be permitted to happen and in a way sanctioned by that chapter and possibly the Greek system. This reporter purposely sought out the wealthiest, "most elite" fraternity on the campus of a wealthy, elite institution to do her story, but why? Now as this all starts to unfold I don't know if it's an exaggerated attempt to bring focus on rape or if it's just a hit piece against fraternities disguised as investigative journalism. Maybe she wanted to kill two birds with one stone? The story worked though. It got people riled up enough that discussions on whether we should get rid of the Greek system was talked about from NPR to CNN. I even heard some voices calling for UVa to close down because of the allegations of widespread abuse on campus. I Still think more is to come from this, so I'm holding off on forming any opinions till more info comes out.
