 i was referring more to the assholes that host the parties and act like cocks. i've been in college and been to schools that revolve around the greek scene. for any guy to get into a party he has to bring 2 girls (keeps the number of potential victims high and their chances for protection low). the girls are fed shots as quickly as they want them and get to the front of the line by latching onto a brother who keeps the booze flowing to impair her judgment. once she's sufficiently intoxicated, other brothers distract her friends so he can get her alone in his room where no one will hear her protest. in the morning, she's kicked out still disoriented before she can figure out what exactly happened under the auspice of "we're not supposed to have female overnight guests, you've got to sneak out now."
 Your broad generalizations indicate that you probably hung out with the celibate acappela singers in college.All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

            i lived in a frat with a buddy from highschool....we lasted about a month. it was the lamest experience of my life. living with 60 tools is an experience i will not soon forget.
 one week it was my turn to be the alarm clock for the house, the wakeup call. fuck man, what do those things cost, like $20? why do they need some rushie waking their dumbasses up. I pissed off everyone in the entire house that week, it was great. fuckheads. and then the next week the communal bathroom was never cleaned, and the next week it was some other stupid chore that never got done. but they couldn't do shit....if you don't play the game there is nothing they can do. my buddy and i had a blast, met really cool people outside of the house...but shit, those guys were tools.0

 Ohhhh so all frats must be exactly that way at all colleges. Broad generalizations get you nowhere.
 At my college, girls have claimed they were raped by frat guys also. In many of the cases though, they brought charges against the guy and then the charges were dropped due to lack of evidence.
 It is not hard to get evidence of a rape, people.
 Rape is a serious serious issue and when people lie about it, they are no better than the guys who rape innocent women.All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

 It's very easy to get evidence of a sexual encounter. It's very difficult to prove that the encounter was a rape.CorporateWhore wrote:It is not hard to get evidence of a rape, people."Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." ~ MLK, 19630

 Rape is an awful thing, I think we can all agree to that. Fake rape charges is an awful thing, I hope we can all agree to that. An irrational hatred of frats due to rapes having been done by individuals is border line neurosis.hippiemom wrote:It's very easy to get evidence of a sexual encounter.

 Frats are just a group of people getting together for a common reason. There's nothing sinister about them.“One good thing about music,
 when it hits you, you feel to pain.
 So brutalize me with music.”

            The Greek system is a bunch of Nazi conformists without the uniforms and goose stepping.one foot in the door
 the other foot in the gutter
 sweet smell that they adore
 I think I'd rather smother

 when your common reason revolves around a system for manipulating and taking advantage of young women, id say that's a sinister system.0

 I really am sorry for your girlfriend being raped. My girlfriend was in a Sorority and she spent some time at fraternities, she never had any incidents which I am very thankful for. I do have to ask, if the greek is really that sinister rape room system you seem to think it is, why would girls ever attend a party there. Broad gernalizations which you seem to be making are lame. For every one bad apple in the greek system there are 20-50 good ones.0
