Is very true. We were told we couldn't punish based on what happened, or what we could figure out had happened from the rough police report, but only on the lack of rule following by the chapter that had allowed it to happen. I forget the exact timing, but we had a couple different hearings for Sig Nu for separate issues, one including this story. After the 2nd we suspended them from campus, which they appealed all the way up to Bosco.That link doesn't seem very balanced
It definitely isn't. Neither is "just call the cops, it's not the university's job".
It still doesn't change the fact that the university has a system and policy in place regarding sexual assault investigation that they're choosing to ignore IMO:QuoteThis Policy covers employees, students, applicants for employment or admission, contractors, vendors, visitors, guests, and participants in University-sponsored programs or activities. The academic or work relationship sometimes extends beyond the University campus and after University work and class hours. Therefore, in some situations, this Policy may apply to allegations of discrimination, harassment or retaliation for behavior that occurs off campus or during after-hours functions sponsored by the University. Off campus occurrences that are not related to University-sponsored programs or activities are investigated under this Policy only if those occurrences relate to discrimination, harassment, or retaliation alleged on campus.

also this is pretty gross if true:QuoteAccording to the lawsuit, even as the university refused to investigate the accusation of rape, it sanctioned Sigma Nu for serving alcohol.

It's definitely not IFC's place to investigate rapes, or individual students. The "judicial" board is mostly composed of sophomores and juniors. It's not a fun four hours debating the details of incidents like this.
That said, all fraternity property is owned by the individual fraternity's alumni board. The undergraduate chapter simply rents out the house from the alumni. It's the chapter, not the alumni board that has a loose affiliation with the university. I can't imagine how, just because most of the fraternity chapter live in a house together, that all of a sudden the university must get involved. Is this the same for rapes reported between college students in the bertrand/thurston area?
I had 2 of these incidents in my year on IFC. One not mentioned in the story. It's awful, but I do think this really is quite common, when factoring in the number of incidents that go unreported.

Yeah I definitely don't think IFC is who should be handling the investigation, nor do I think anyone is suggesting they should. However the university SAYS they have a system in place to investigate sexual assault (and a lot of other stuff), but flat out refused because it happened at an off-campus university supported/sanctioned house.
And personally, I think the university should apply their stated policy to investigate rapes committed between students in the "Bertrand/Thurston" area as well as greek houses and on-campus dorms.

Can anyone vouche for eurail? Since I'm under 24, I get a student pass so I was planning on train travel but I wasn't sure if it's cheaper to get the pass or individual tickets in each country.Did the Eurail thing this past winter. Pretty great, convenience and flexibility make it worth it. Audibled and checked out Turin and Gibraltar on a whim. Only con is the required reservations for every train worth taking, 10 euro a reservation will add up. Might be difficult to get reservations during the summer, no idea.
Sounds like the band is moving to the Northeast corner. Has this been discussed? Sounds like plans and such are coming along nicely for another off season construction project.

Hope you're right about the band.
Here's a view from the press box.

rome is the best, the absolute best. while you are there do everything and anything. also i said eff on the steps of the vatican and it was a huge rush, didnt mean to say it but i did, and my god, i dont regret it at all.
other places send me a postcard please so i can visit those places in the future.
Never too late. Friend and I just want to get a taste of the continent, rather than focus in on a few specific spots. We understand it's not a very long timeframe though. Where would you go/places you'd recommend?Hey gents,
A buddy and I are planning a 3 week trip to Europe this winter break. Understand that winter might not be the best time to take a tour of Europe but this was the only time that worked for the two of us. First time to Europe for both of us, first time overseas for me. As of now, our current schedule looks like this.
MHK->ORD->CDG via American
Paris->Munich->Venice->Florence->Naples->Rome->Barcelona->South Spain (Granada, Seville, Cordoba)->Madrid (plus Toledo and Segovia) all by train
MAD->ORD->MHK via Iberian and American
Any tips/tricks/hints that we should take into account? Any spots we can't miss? Anything would be appreciated.
I would have told you to visit fewer spots but looks like I'm too late
This guys in front looked back at us and shook their fists out at us.
because i know i'll never see anything better
