If you’re a nice guy in a fraternity and can’t figure out why “frat boy” is used as a pejorative, these kinds of guys are the reason.
The University of Vermont's Sigma Phi Epsilon is under investigation, CNN reports, after a survey surfaced online in which frat brothers had been asked who they would rape if they could.
The frat’s national organization ordered the chapter to “cease all operations pending further investigations,” and Annie Stevens, associate vice president for student life told CNN affiliate WCAX, “It is technically free speech and yet it is deplorable and just absolutely inappropriate and offensive.”
Not to mention … it’s downright scary that anyone would think it was funny and acceptable enough to pass this around even as a joke. Who knew about the survey and how it came to be are questions still being investigated, Stevens said.
Tyler Boggess of Sigma Phi Epsilon’s national headquarters told the CNN affiliate, “Our organization prides itself on having values of virtue, diligence, and brotherly love, to pledging itself to sound mind and sound body and the balanced man ideal, and certainly these actions that we are looking at here don't align with those values.”

"The University"? Broadcast facility WCAX? ¿Donde esta? Should I have had to click through the links to learn WHERE this happened?
@charmcity. I'm not sure if they're trying to protect the school, or just forgot. either way, here

Thank you bringing this to our attention. I am constantly amazed by people's insensitivities and ingnorance. I can only hope that one day this sort of action/thinking will not even be a distant memory. May it happen in our time.
