Yale: DKE Apologizes for Pledge Chant Incident

[ree-Xi]

I saw this on Youtube I think overnight Wednesday. I was wondering if anyone was going to post about it. It's been all over the news here locally.

Obviously, school-smart people don't always have common sense. It's sad.

PS I was reading that "fratty" website posted the other, where people were posting about stuff being "the frat life" or some similar phrase, lauding spending trust funds indiscriminately, calling other people poor/northern/democrats/not fratty, bragging about their "sororstitutes" making them sandwiches after she does their homework and gives them a BJ, and all other sorts of nonsense. The Yale issue is just as disgusting as that site. Yuck.

It shouldn't take common sense. Not being assholes actually takes less effort than being assholes. Laziness should cover it. Instead they actively CHOSE assholery of the misogynistic, rape-apologetic variety.

I saw it too, although my graduation year, '79 dates me, I know of no house that I was familiar with in my era, who would do anything like this. Generally, all the houses thought that 'The Best thing on Earth' was a Sorority Girl, and by extension, all college women who, in our eyes, were potential rushees. In retrospect, my brothers still believe this. This is not to say, that there were not jerks, especially when there were too many drinks, but our intention was to make contact with Sorority Girls, not to scare them away.
