All the more reason they should hold themselves to a higher moral standard of behavior.

I think the most offensive part of this was the location of the chanting. Truthfully, it shouldn't take a genius to realize that, statistically speaking at least, there would be more than a few survivors of rape living in a women's freshman dorm. How insensitive did they have to be?

Edited to add - I'm curious as to what the official response from their HQ will be... and when they'll be making it.

There's really nothing not offensive about it. There's no appropriate place to chant that and there could easily be survivors of rape in their pledge class.

The campus tolerates it, and it's frankly not surprising that it happens in the 'upper echelons' of education just as it happens in the rest of society.
