Why is the Frat Boy Culture so Sleazy and Sex-Crazed?

Just wondering what bunch of dummies would paint their own greek letters on a rape victim? .

No one. I heard about that case in my risk management seminar thing I had to go to. It was a group of mixed gdi's and brothers from a different group that didn't like the group whose letters they used. They dropped her off on the front porch of said house and left her pretty much for dead.

Are you certain this story is correct? I am 100% sure one of the men involved is registered on the Florida Sex Offender website (I am not giving the name) and was a member of the fraternity in question. This fraternity on campus still has this situation haunt them today.

RU OX is mostly correct. It was two brothers from that house and a brother from a different chapter. They did not write their letters on the girl but wrote the letters of a different (rival) fraternity. Unfortunately, the actions of those brothers (out of a huge 150+ member chapter) resulted in the suspension of the chapter for a very long time. I'm amazed that it's still being discussed over 20 years later and that current students are looking up one of the perpetrators on the sex offender registration site. I don't mean you in particular FlaGirl - I just think it's sad that out of all of those fraternity members that guy's name is still remembered.

I didn't personally look it up myself. It is something that happened LONG before I got there, but wanted to accentuate the fact that it is still very much still talked about today and still affects the reputation of that chapter.

It might have been a smiliar case, but yeah, I remember what I was taught. I hated that "class." Basically an hour and a half of "if anyone accuses you of anything you're at fault because you are the house manager."

ETA: Gaah. I just read angel love's comments/your discussion. Glad it didn't happen twice. That's so awful.
