After reading that article, I’m in a state of disgust. Although I am a big believer in “everyone has their opinion”, that was just ignorant and foolish. That article is a personal attack on every single member of a fraternity. What’s more interesting is that her article, Ms. Flannigan cites no research to the fact that most rapes on university campuses are committed by fraternity men. Rather, she draw upon one very sad case study which involved members of a certain organization committing a horrible act that is also carried out by MORE men who are not Greek affiliated. I put Ms. Flannigan on the same level as people who accuse all Muslims of being terrorists. She is a feminist extremist, in a terrible way. I treat the women whom I am friends and surrounded by with the utmost respect, but quite frankly, the author of that article is disgusting.

Also, she transferred from UVa in her first week because her first SIGHT of Greek houses scared her? Am I the only one having a hard time grasping that? Like, really? And then she goes on to say that her acute sense of paranoia deprived her of an equal opportunity to education and would justify shutting every Greek house down? Crazy. Just crazy. I also find it interesting that she slammed the Greek system as a whole over and over again without mentioning sororities. Interesting.

@ace550 please go sit in another thread full of group-polarized, stereotyping Greek-haters. The rest of us will stop applying singular, horrifying cases to the far more moderate general public and continue on with our RELEVANT discussions. Thanks.
