A former Dartmouth frat boy has accused his ex-frat of disgusting hazing practices involving vomit, shit, urine, and what can only be termed "butt beer." Dartmouth authorities say his allegations are false, but are these hazing practices merely par for the course? More »

The fraternity responsible for throwing a party that encouraged invitees to dress like sexy Pilgrims and Indians has apologized for acting sort of racist. As an added bonus, they've reached out to the on-campus Native American student organization and refrained from calling for a round of high fives in the process. Progress? More »

After an altercation between two students in a fraternity basement last weekend, Dartmouth sororities have enacted a stringent new policy requiring frats to discipline members accused of assault or face social isolation. But not everybody thinks it's a good idea. More »

Does it matter if the distributor of a charming guide to the "targeting" of women, with or without their consent, was actually a registered member of a fraternity? And whether or not the document was an original? Some think it does. More »

Once again an idiotic college student has brought shame on his fraternity, his school, and possibly the entire Greek system by doing something that confirms every misogynistic frat guy stereotype. Today we received a copy of a an email purportedly written by a member of USC's Kappa Sigma chapter, in which he offers a treatise on how to be an effective "cocksman" (how creative). Disgust ensues.

Last spring, Drake University hired me to provide recommendations about campus sexual assault prevention and response policies. Months later, I faced a moral dilemma: a Drake student was charged with third-degree felony sexual abuse for assaulting his fraternity brother. More »

This week some boys marched around the Yale campus shouting slogans including "no means yes," "yes means anal," and "I fuck dead women." They were clearly seeking attention. Fine. Here. More »

Duke is in an uproar about a highly detailed "fuck list" that a recent female graduate made — in PowerPoint, complete with penis-size evaluations and dirty talk transcripts. We've got that document, and spoke exclusively to the now-contrite author. More »

"After reading [frat boy Yale Reardon's article on "Rating Girls"] I'm ashamed to identify as a fraternity man. Calling women inferior to men destroys the overall objectives every house establishes in their bylaws." — IU senior Drew Anderson [IDS] More »

It's been a few days since we checked in on the massive San Diego State frathouse coke ring. So what more have we learned? Well, they just keep arresting more students. It helps that the school president has been so super supportive. But it wasn't that sophisticated an operation to penetrate! "All it took was saying, `Hey, I go to State, can you hook me up? And then it was off to the races,'" San Diego County prosecutor Damon Mosler told the AP. More »

You see the gentlemen holding up a sign that reads "WE LOVE YALE SLUTS" right in front of the Yale Women's Center? That little stunt was a pledge prank for the school's Zeta Psi fraternity, and the Women's Center is now taking legal action against the frat for sexual harassment. The question of whether or not this was indeed harassment has been raised, since it was "just a joke" and the men never came in contact with any women. But I say: hell yes it's harassment! As someone who openly refers to herself as a "slut" and throws the term around rather lovingly, I have to say that it's not as benign when used by everyone. (It's kinda like how white people can't say "nigger.") And these Yale students should be smart enough to figure out that posing in front of the fucking Women's Center with such a sign would at the very least ruffle feathers. There's no two ways about it: They were intentionally being dicks. More »

The story about the woman who walked into the University of Michigan frathouse, took a seat on a couch and commenced masturbating for a half hour is full of holes: How come it took her a half hour? Did she not have a vibrator? What sort of woman voluntarily sits on a fraternity house couch? Luckily, Jezzy's automotively inclined brother blogger (haha! brother blogger! so if we sucumbed to his advances it would be INCEST!!) Jalopnik attended the very prestigious institution of higher education that played host to this curious event, so when his expertise met our extensive self-hating self-love experience over IM, we were able to crack the case in approximately 13 minutes. Like Christopher Meloni and Mariska Hartigay! Only bloggers! I mean, WITHOUT the sexual tension!! Why she did it, why they called the cops and the mystery of why they need to get rid of two separate couches solved, after the jump. More »
