Is there a lot of rape in Geek Life?

You should think your question through. How would we even begin to be able to answer it? You're asking for generalized conclusions based on what? There's always a chance bad things will happen to you. The best thing you can do is be safe.

Most sororities will probably go over safe party practices with members on a fairly regular basis. If you rush, just pay attention there. You'll never be 100% safe unless you just stay at home and play World of Warcraft all day in lieu of rushing.

But then there is always the chance of one of those home invasion guys... So really, you're never safe.

There.. feel better?

Hey man do not knock world of warcraft. People get raped through that game too! There are real people behind those characters and when they leave their basements they brush off the cheeto crumbs, get on planes and go rape other players IRL.

Yeah.. and at any rate, I was going to say something funny, but then I remembered how unfunny rape is.

But rape and WoW? That's kind of funnny.

The people who play that game are scary and I say this as a player. Of course I log in about once a week so I barely even count. But holy shit, people will take sick days to play WoW. People meet in-game and get married IRL. It is really scary.

Yeah.. I agree. I played one of those sorts of games back in the late 90's (I'm almost embarrassed to admit it). I know precisely what you're talking about though. For the most part, we're not generally talking about the most productive members of society in these games. It's probably better for all of us that they are kept in their homes where they won't be seen out in public, or worse yet, reproduce.

Jelly,

You need to learn how to go to university first than to have concerns about whether you get raped or not.

Generally, rape is about power and women who fall under that power to take something from them.

Jon offers some excellent information... So, sweetheart, you really need to be concerned how you interact with your school and your potentially bidding of the sorority of your choice.

Just my opinion. I may be wrong, but I seriously doubt it.
