Anybody heard about this Rolling Stone UVA rape story controversy?

[john "teach me how to" dougie]

FRATERNITIES ARE A BREEDING GROUND FOR MONSTERS!!!1!!1!!!!!!

[wetwillie]

If I were the fraternity, I'd refuse any settlement offer and just try to get it to a jury. I'd then split the proceeds, after legal fees, 50/50 between a rape prevention/assistance charity and a foundation for a professor of ethics and integrity in journalism. eff Rolling Stone. I hope this bankrupts them.

interesting strategy

He doesnt even frat dog bro

Do you think the fraternity gives two shits about rape prevention?

Uh yeah. The two things fraternities care way more about than any other issue are (1) binge drinking/hazing death and (2) rape (real or alleged). Allowing women, alcohol, and worst - women and alcohol - in the fraternity house are liability nightmares.

Considering it's existence depends upon it, yes, it's probably pretty important.

Maybe the "leadership", but your average frat brah doesn't care at all about that and actively works towards those things

The vast majority of us were in frats and the cool ones at that, not majorly dorky ones.

[DQ12]

i'm a little confused about who is going to have their reputation tarnished by this forever.  did the story use actual names of individuals?

The girl asked the Rolling Stone not to contact any of the fraternity bros or house, which should have put an end to the story. She only identified one guy as "Drew", and it turns out he isn't even a member of the frat.

It's like, the only 2 risk management things they do. It's important. Plus, nobody wants to be the "rape house" on campus. Might as well be the "AIDS house"

Yeah, they are concerned with being found out, not with stopping those activities

Ok. Started off as a good troll, but now it's just getting dumb.

I beleive it because I know it for fact, at least with respect to my fraternity.

[Institutional Control]

I can honestly say, in my fraternity, rape prevention was never on one of our meeting agendas. 

[Rage Against the McKee]

I bet this fraternity has "the talk" at least once per week on the dangers of mixing women with alcohol.

Honestly? In-house risk management can be good to extremely poor depending upon the chapter. It was pretty good at ours at KSU - which, by the way, has a relatively well-managed and tame Greek system. These are 18-22yo males with often far too-little supervision. And college women also seem to be getting dumber and putting themselves in riskier situations when it comes to parties, dress, drugs, and alcohol. It terrifies the general fraternities. They're constantly trying to recruit alums to come in and provide guidance - especially risk management. Women and alcohol are literally lawsuits waiting to happen.

If these were legitimately the top two fraternity priorities, they would not throw giant parties that create the perfect storm for these things to occur.

I know that's not a PC thing to say, but it is true. Don't be a PCtard. That doesn't mean scantily-dressed women deserve to be assaulted, and it doesn't reduce the culpability of the men involved, but it's still a stupid thing to do. Women are engaging in riskier behavior and it's a serious liability problem. National fraternities are clamping down more and more, as they should. I would bet you that most fraternities outlaw house parties within the next decade. Parties will be held at more easily monitored public venues, just like a number of fraternities already do now.
