Frat suspended over notebook detailing rape and lynching
Quote:
On Thursday night, employees at a Raleigh’s restaurant near North Carolina State University discovered a green notebook that had been left behind by members of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity on campus. Among the many comments scrawled in the small notebook were references to rape and lynching, recycling familiar narratives about entrenched misogyny and racism in fraternity culture.
Quote:
“That tree is so perfect for lynching,” one note read.
“You can never trust a n***** as far as you can throw them,” scribbled another.
Additional entries included: “It will be short and painful, just like when I rape you”; “if she’s old enough to pee, she’s old enough to me”; and “let’s go to Raleigh and yell at some n******.”

violence at fraternities,” a former student at the University of Virginia told ThinkProgress. “I got groped at parties, a guy threw me over his shoulders and dragged me up the frat stairs and I fought my way out of his arms. When I was dragged upstairs, I was shaking and said to other frat members ‘he just tried to drag me up the stairs.’ And they were like, ‘go home, you’re lying. You’re drunk, that didn’t happen. Go home. And they kicked me out the frat.”

absolutely disgusting and vile that people like this still exist.
but knowing how this website is they'll probably say its just a joke or that its not that serious.
What is even the point of frats? All you ever hear is that they throw parties and piss people off. I honestly don't get why anyone would ever wanna be in one.
