Fraternity memo filled with misogynist, rapey rhetoric
By Kelly BourdetMarch 9th, 2011, 2:00 pmComments (24)
It seems like every couple of weeks there's another scandal involving a college fraternity, some sort of email, and rampant sexism letting it all hang out. The latest offenders are the respectful blokes of USC's chapter of Kappa Sigma. One industrious brother created a long descriptive email, incorporating both a personal ethos on getting "pie" (that's new and unique code for vagina) and a call-out to brothers to share their weekly sexual conquests. He created this manifesto both to inform brothers about his expertise (over fifty pies conquered thus far!) and to shame them for ever having sex with "filth" (denoted as a woman scoring four or below, on this man's personal scale of attractiveness).
There's really no beginning or end to the obnoxious, nausea-inducing contents of the email. It's hard to pinpoint what personally enraged me the most on this Wednesday morning. Was it the delineation between "wife," "girlfriend," and "filth" material? Was it the veneration afforded noted piece of shit Tucker Max? Perhaps the racist implication of allotting various races their own, cutesy pie flavors, then accusing any man who sleeps with a Middle Eastern woman of being insufficiently patriotic? Perhaps this gem of a quote: "Non-consent and rape are two different things. There is a fine line, so make sure not to cross it."
Do fraternity brothers not understand how email works? There is a forward button. If you also want to ruin your day, you can read the email in its entirety.

This man is who he is because it works. Ask yourself who you should be shaming and who should receive the blame.
Bank robbery "works", murder "works", pedophilia "works" - real high end value system you got workin' there Mikey.
In case you (probably) don't know; non-consent IS rape. In court.
Bank robbery works? Murder works? Pedophilia works? From what I know, all those things are illegal and highly punishable. What this guy does, on the other hand, seems to get him lots of positive attention from women. Are you really gonna try and conflate the issues?
Getting a girl drunk so she'll sleep with you "works." Yeah, that's definitely not shady. Also, saying women aren't people, just pieces of "pie" "works." Honestly, this shit wouldn't "work" if women were taught we're worth more. It's sad.
It isn't so much that women need to be taught that they're worth more. It's men that need to be taught that women are worth more. But this is typical of what I expect from USC. School of elitist self-centered jerks.
The former AND the latter, Anon2. Men grow up to value themselves; women grow up to value men.
Conflate? Sure do, Mikey. Aside from legality (which I mentioned) all those behaviors are monstrously self indulgent and have tragic consequences. Tragic too for people like you who are like infants; somebody gives you a beautiful gift and you throw it away and play with the wrapping paper.
Pathetic.
Thanks for your contribution to society.
What?
I was not expecting it to be all that bad before i read it. Wow, was I mistaken. That was horrendous. I want to take the "author" and smack the shit out of him, over and over again.
Wow. Disgusting. What a as-hole. I hope someone kicks this guys ass.
Oh! I just remembered that Kappa Sigma was banned from the University of Alabama this past fall because of an incident that happened the year before. The one of the pledges ended up in the ICU with a collapsed lung and 3rd degree burns on his butt and ball sack. His frat "brothers" made him sit on a metal chair that they had heated with a blow torch and made him answer question about the fraternity. Sounds like the whole organization is filled with a bunch of losers.
Well that just ruin the rest of my day. What a DICK!!!!! I can tell he is going to get far in life....
Probably pretty far....The world tends to favor dicks.
P.S. (and much less severe) did anyone else see the nerve personal in the top right corner? Most humbling moment: "My first yoga class"??? L M F A O..really?
What the hell is the difference between non-consent and rape? Non-consent is rape.
I have to wonder about the women who serve their pies to men like these. What are they thinking?
I have to wonder whether or not women are actually consenting to someone who sees a difference between non-consent and rape.
In their own "target-esque" way they're riding the boys' coattails. What's the word feminists use to describe women actively sabotaging gender equity?
...to have no sense of humor. I did not read it and I don't plan to, but I can't imagine it being taken as anything other than what it undeniably must be: Funny.
...you're an uninformed moron. Read it. It's not funny.
LOVED IT.
You are a bag that contains much douche.
I'd have to agree, this is pretty cleverly written. Calling on women to maintain their pubic hair as "a matter of respect". 'Cause when you aren't a person, you should respect those who are. The middle-eastern comment was funny, another unexpected moment in a piece that just kept me guessing.
I want to send you an award for most helpful intrenet writer.
