"Rapebait" Frat disbanded for promoting sexual violence.
After the email blew up the internet, Peterson offered a sincere-sounding mea culpa, saying that "rapebait" was a nickname his frat bros had given him and that joking about sexual assault is very, very wrong indeed. Georgia Tech put ΦKT on probation. Lesson learned, right?
Not really. According to GT's Technique, Peterson and his ilk carried right on acting like toddlers pumped full of testosterone after the incident last October, and after an investigation, the school's administration concluded that Phi Kappa Tau engaged in a "pattern of sexual violence that…suggests a deep-rooted culture within the fraternity that is obscene, indecent and endangers women" in addition to providing alcohol to underaged members, like, constantly (in their defense, isn't that kind of what every frat does w/r/t alcohol?) Included in the school's investigation were actual minutes from fraternity meetings and emails circulated around the frat, which included beaucoup imbibing and joking references to drug and alcohol abuse and rape.
But there was also plenty of anti-woman stuff in Phi Kappa Tau's culture. Here, for example, are the lyrics to a song that pledges were made to sing both during pledge week and at the frat's Christmas party (which was the most depressing party in the world, probably). Georgia Tech got hold of these because the boy geniuses at Phi Kappa Tau sent all of this over email, thus leaving an easy to follow digital trail for school officials.

I'm not going to show the "jovial" rape songs they sang together,but it's seriously fucked up. Rape culture sucks.
I posted this in GD too.
