Ugh, that's just fucking wrong. I hope this shit coming out to light makes these messed-up fraternities get a fucking clue.
Also, holy shit guys. While I understand the hate for the frats like these, which keep fucking shit up and acting like cunts, not every frat member is the same.
I mean, you can swing insults all you want at these guys and all of the others like them, since they deserve it and more, but damn.
I'm part of a frat, I don't do shit like this, but reading through these comments paints peeps in such a way that I'm a bit shocked. Like, I love GAF and all, but reading some comments here make me want to rethink being here if I'm thought of as an asshole just because I'm in a group. :/
You do understand, that people are commenting on the trend. And the trend is that frats are useless rapefests. A lot of personal experience, as well as just following stories. Yea, you're part of a culture that the world is critical of, due to how much fucked up stuff happens, without anyone from within the inside of the FRAT coming forward. Its always due to leaks, or the victims, but rarely members/leadership themselves. Much like 'good police' getting lumped in with the bad ones, when frats aren't speaking out against other frats, or drawing a harsh line in the sand that says "Our frat system needs to change" and not playing the victim of "but but our frat is ok! LAY OFF FRATS!"
I'd feel safe warning my daughter to stay away from open flame, because it might burn her. In the identical way, i'd warn her of frats. And I'd sleep perfectly fine knowing that it is generally, good advice.
You have to understand that your perspective, isn't the only one. The loudest perspective is the constant-stream of negativity and trouble that frats cause. You want to complain here because people are generalizing frats? Not all frats? No shit. I think every single person typing has the common knowledge that 100% of anything is rarely true, unless the subject is Dolomites badassness. Its nothing that needs to be noted, unless you don't understand human communication.
When people say "FUCK AMERICA!" clearly, they don't mean every single instance of an american, unless specified. Do they mean the people working within with volunteer groups/etc to help out people and help the country/people that need help? The elderly..? They generally mean the overall tone that stems from the country. From our military might and shitty diplomacy. You don't understand this, or what? You have your experiences with frats, unfortunately its drowned out by the rape and racism of large popular, nation wide, frats.
Why are you taking what people say about the overwhelming negative actions of Frats personally? Do you do negative shit..? Or are you not a part of that frat society -- that a whole lot of fraternities are. You're feigning shock right now at the concept that people look lowly on frats for a myriad of valid reasons. The concept of a frat, is enough for most to be put off by it. Its not quite a favorable thing in diverse circles, especially if the circles include women. Its a dated concept, and hopefully with all of this negativity, Frats will erode into nothingness.
Jesus christ... If I ever have a daughter, from age like 14-21 I'm going to instill in her a fear of college fraternities so bad that she doesn't go within a mile of one. There's enough concrete proof(in terms of news stories, police logs, etc) that it'd be hard to not be scared of frats if you're in their typical rape demographic. Fraternities are something between evil monkey hives and dens of ignorant, hateful man-children.
Exactly.
