Fed-Up Women Swarm Kansas Frat House After Alleged Rape

[Jilly_in_VA]

More than a thousand protesters demonstrated outside of a University of Kansas fraternity house on Monday night in an outcry against sexual assault that former students say has been “regularly ignored and dismissed.”

The “No Means No Peaceful Protest” outside of the Phi Kappa Psi Greek house was fueled by allegations that a woman was drugged and raped at the frat house on Saturday night by a new undergraduate member. Adam Heffley, interim chief of police for the City of Lawrence, said in a statement to The Daily Beast that they were “aware of an incident involving a possible sexual assault near campus over the weekend” but would not provide further details “in order to protect the privacy of victims.”

It was the second such protest in recent weeks: About 1,000 protesters surrounded the troubled Fiji frat house at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln last month after an alleged sexual assault. The Journal Star reported that men were filmed inside the house laughing as women outside chanted “Kick him out!”

In Kansas, protesters gathered on Monday night outside the frat house, which had been roped off with police tape. The crowd spilled off the sidewalk and onto the street, and shouted chants like, “We believe her,” “Justice now,” and “Lock him up,” in a demonstration that lasted more than two hours, according to WDAF-TV.

1. Send him to Texas and let Abbott deal with him

These sexual assaults have got to be punished to the full extent of the LAW.

[Skittles]

21. Abbott doesn't give a fuck about rape

there are over 5000 untested rape kits in Texas right now

[MagickMuffin]

22. I live in Texas, I'm well aware of this

just joking around, I was hoping no one would take me seriously!


From what I can tell about their Party: they like young kids, and they are tone deaf to the concept of NO means NO.

And they use projection with great ease.

[Skittles]

23. I am happy to say I never dated a frat member

it all seems like ridiculously juvenile, selfish behavior

[MagickMuffin]

24. Nor have I, not have had the misfortune to be around them

Not much has changed as far as their behavior goes.

[Faux pas]

2. Kickin' with gusto!

[LiberalFighter]

3. The university should decertify the frat. And so should the National Frat.

[LakeArenal]

4. I was assaulted at the Ag frat at the UW Madison

It’s not just Kansas.

[Jilly_in_VA]

7. See the footnote to my OP

I was there in the 60s

[LakeArenal]

13. 1970.

[Hortensis]

5. So good to hear. More!

[msongs]

6. Fiji aka Phi Gamma Delta - has a long and sordid history nt

[leftieNanner]

14. They were booted of the Cal campus in the 1960s

Eventually let back after a decade or more.

[paleotn]

17. Yep, since this old guy was an undergrad back in 1980.

From what I heard back then, their rep was well deserved. But then again, SAE, PIKE and others were just as bad. As a first quarter freshmen, an Old roommate of mine tried to get me to pledge Lambda Chi, or what they called "associate members." Wasn't my thing. I'm not much of a joiner.

19. IIRC

Fiji has been thrown off the Tennessee campus also but not for this. Alcohol and hazing.

8. Outstanding actions. Hope it ends up a national trend. (nt)

[harumph]

9. In my fantasy, there's also a wood chipper involved.

[erronis]

11. Yech - the clean-up.... But one or two would put and end to "it".

[groundloop]

10. This needs to happen during fall rush - deprive them of new members

Protest outside these frats each and every night during fall rush and embarrass the shit out of any potential member that goes inside. Each year a fraternity needs to replace about 1/4 of their membership, deprive them of these new members and it won't take long for them to see their treasury take a hit.

12. K&R

[iluvtennis]

15. Love it!

[Jon King]

16. Be great if women just boycotted any frat house party.

Turn them into a bunch of dudes sitting around drinking beer. If a frat boy wants to date a women, he has to come out of his cocoon, meet them in class or on campus, etc. Completely destroy the main reason these houses exist.

[MOMFUDSKI]

18. The first mistake

was naming it No Means No PEACEFUL Protest. Dismiss with the niceties and make some NOISE.

[rdking647]

20. its gotten to the point all frats and sororities should be banned

they are nothing more than elitist garbage
