The college is helping the now displaced students to find housing.. so there is no "poor me, im homeless" bs to deal with. Buahahaha...I wish I could go to campus there and hear just -one- of these boys ask for sympathy. I would beat them about the head and shoulders with the section of the dictionary from shit to syphilis and ask them if there was any sympathy in there. I do believe there might have been members of the fraternity who were not involved. Without the "author" of the survey stepping forward, the local frat president not divulging the name and who all received the survey, it really isn't fair to hang each boy for the incident. quote:
To be frank, they shouldn't even still be able to attend school there. The fact that the parents haven't been notified is just about the most ignorant thing I have EVER heard. (I have a son, he is 11, I would want to know if he had done something like this, because even if it was some ignorant frat house fantasy, I would skin him alive.) They likely will be on academic probation and receive other sanctions from the school. As for "calling the parents," these aren't grade school or high school boys, they are legally adults. Parents aren't even entitled to get their grades or talk to their instructors, so whether *you* would want to know or not is irrelevant. That law doesn't allow you to. quote:
I think we are all enraged because in our minds, the what may have happened is the scary, fucked up part of it all. The really pissy part to all of us is that there is not a damned thing that can be done about it and we are all thinking about what rape victims endure. Maybe it is best for everyone if it is left to anonymity. Yes, what *could* have happened is frightening. But it is frightening to think what *could* have happened when your child is out of your sight in a store for 3 seconds. The people on this forum can't do a thing about it. However, the school has taken action, the National Fraternity has taken action. The school is still investigating the incident. This wasn't a "plan" to rape people, and these boys definately need to learn appropriate behavior and get a bit of an education regarding violence against women. What they don't deserve is to be hung for their stupidity, which is essentially what so many people here want to do. Lock them up and throw away the key, post their names all over campus, expel them from school, do everything to make them feel what a rape victim feels. They did NOT rape anyone. In fact, to our knowledge so far, they didn't even terrify any female on campus with this email which was reported by a member of the fraternity, let's not forget that. Academic probation, loss of scholarships, housing in the dorms, volunteer work and attending the same classes that men who have commited violence against women need to attend (they aren't anger management, although that is part of it), review of their behavior once a month for a year. In this case, while frats are known for their feelings of entitlement and bad behavior, these boys were caught before (well mostly before, considering the other issues they had) anyone was truly hurt. There is an opportunity here to teach them why what they WROTE was wrong. If they could learn a lesson, they might spread what they learned to others, and they might raise their sons to know better. No arguing truth and logic.
