'No more excuses': 2,000 students protest Greek life after series of druggings at fraternity houses


Content warning: This story contains mention of drugging and sexual assault as well as explicit language in audio clips.

Two thousand students surrounded the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity house, spilling into Lincoln Street. The crowd stood still, holding a moment of silence in solidarity with the individuals drugged at the house Thursday.

Until an organizer’s shout cut through the air: “Abolition is not the end! It is the beginning!”

The crowd cheered and shouted back in response. Soon after, students hurled eggs, which splattered against the AEPi house’s walls.

The protest, held outside the on-campus houses of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and AEPi Sunday night, followed two University Police crime notices. The first reported multiple druggings at the AEPi house, and the second, sent just a day later, reported a drugging at the SAE house. The Saturday notice identified both addresses as on-campus fraternity houses, though the Friday notice did not. Neither notice identified the fraternities by name.

That was going on in the mid 70’s it’s long past time for the Greek system to be shut down.

It's about a med school dropout who got even with the psycho frat pigs who raped her best friend. Lots more to it, too.

"Ahhh, you had to pay for your friends."

Then walk away.
