In the late 1980s the Florida News Herald reported that a Florida State University student had been gang raped by some fraternity brothers. Allegedly, the attackers painted the Greek letters of their house on her thighs, symbolically claiming her as they had also claimed her through sexual assault.
In 2001 Dartmouth College’s campus newspaper, The Dartmouth, published graphic excerpts from Zeta Psi’s weekly newsletters in which brothers described their sexual encounters:
“She’s baaaaackk. And she’s dirtier than ever[;] if young [female name] hooks up with one more Zete, I’m going to need a flow chart to keep up.”
“Commenting on [Brother B]’s chances for a highly-coveted spot in the Manwhore Hall of Shame, [Brother C] said, ‘Are you kidding me? Rancid snatch like that makes you a fucking lock.’”
“Next week: [Brother X]’s patented date rape techniques!”
These two examples — a gang rape fraught with symbolism and the misogynist publication describing sexual exploits — are clearly extreme, but both of them are the logical outcome of a culture of masculine supremacy and sexual exploitation that has made its home in some college fraternities since the 1920s.
College fraternities — currently numbering three hundred fifty thousand undergraduate brothers with more than four million alumni — have become a haven for a masculinity that takes sexual conquest as one of its defining characteristics. Indeed, the social science literature of the past three decades has shown that fraternity men are more likely than their nonaffiliated classmates to rape women, and some studies have estimated that as many as 70 to 90 percent of reported campus gang rapes are committed by members of fraternities.
Bolded parts are emphasized by me.
Fuck fraternity culture. Fuck men who think they have a right to womens’ bodies. Fuck this objectifying, commodifying, sexualizing of womens’ bodies by patriarchy that is still so prevalent, so condoned, and so expected today.
Lol, put a whole bunch of men together in one house, this is what happens, right?
