Biker Bash isn't anything new. Sigma Chi did it in the 80s too.

And I really don't think the girls that posed the complaints are as mad about the actual event or the fact that they got caught doing this stuff. It's really not as bad as it sounds but it is defintely not for the weak at heart!
Oh really? Those pictures weren't bad enough?

A more serious crime..let's see, how about being raped in front of your sorority house? Or even better, in front of a fraternity house!? It was said to have happened at Stetson University...Now that's the type of behavior a charter should be pulled for, not stupid pranks.
FYI - I edited my comment to state what I really meant: it's bad enough to be photographed with a dildo in your mouth.

And unfortunately, rapes happen all too often at college campuses. Even at UF. Check the Alligator archives.

(Gee, you think this kind of behavior & attitude PREVENTS girls from being raped?!)

I just feel like the fraternity is getting in trouble for something that they actually advertised pretty well at announcing as to what would happen at the event... Not that it SHOULD happen, but they never lied about what WOULD happen...They were very up front about the craziness, at least to my knowledge...
No, the fraternity is out of hand. They are not only destroying their reputation, but UF's as well.

I don't like seeing anything negative on the news about my alma mater - and I esp. don't like to see anything negative about the greek system. Something like this should have never been allowed to happen.

You see, UFRushee05, when you are an alumna of a school/organization, and you care enough to contribute financially, openly recruit for the school (not just for a sorority), and continue to support the school many many years after you've graduated, you expect the school to maintain a certain amount of dignity. This isn't asking for much.

And don't even get me started on the after effects of humiliation. You'd be surprised how many women are in therapy because of their college experiences.

I'm not kidding.

I'm not trying to discourage partying it up. There should be limits.

I just think that if someone really cares about you, they wouldn't allow you to be humiliated.
