Yes, ladies are the most likely survivors in frat house contexts, but please, men, also use the buddy system & don't drink anything you didn't pour or open yourself either.
In the email students received, it said on-campus, and they did not host any on-campus events this weekend. Maybe I am mistaken, but I haven’t heard anyone else say it was Phi Sigma Kappa. Pike, yes.
Read the statement on the campus safety site. It clearly states at fraternity houses. Again, if you are going to loudly proclaim people are wrong, at least do your own research.
You are really are having to delete your comments, because you add rude ones before being shown you are incorrect. You have been proven as mistaken enough. Take the L. Spend time on the victims at this point.
? I deleted one because I worded it wrong? When was I rude? You are spreading information with no proof other than hearsay, and I’m citing the facts of what I- as a student- received in my inbox..
Oh, the university has clarified to media that the events happened in fraternity houses. Four separate incidents, at least three included sexual assault, and at least two were drugged. You really need to keep up.
I’m going to clarify this once for you because you are clearly confused. I said yes, Pike was most likely one of the houses responsible.
I also said that Phi Sigma Kappa did not host an event during the dates when the incidents took place.
You are posting online that they were one of the responsible houses, and they were not.** **
I am fully aware of what took place over the weekend, and I am disgusted by it.
The only houses that had on-campus events were Pike, Kappa Sigma, and Sigma Chi. Therefore, it is two of those three responsible. I hope this is clearer.
How do you know that? Also Pike Spike happened at Chattanooga- there have never been any reported incidents at Pike UTK. If there have been it needs to be reported
It’s being discussed with other frats. Edited to add: Other fraternities on campus were told. My kid is in a different frat, and freshman are having to take some safety classes and some will be trained on narcan administration.
It said there were multiple reports of four separate incidents at the same on-campus frat house. Three incidents included a reported sexual assault and two included suspected drugging.
My kid wasn’t aware of the punishment, but some frats are taking serious action. They are training members to identify vulnerable students at parties, sober monitors at parties/events to patrol for vulnerable women to get them in a safe place, narcan training, and other initiatives. If you want women to feel safe with your frat, you have to be proactive at this point.
I won’t disclose my kid’s frat, but as a mom, the steps being taken are admirable, thoughtful, and hopefully, will prevent this from happening to other women.
Networking. If one of your frat bros has a very wealthy daddy with very valuable connections, it can give you a big boost especially in this labor market where a large percentage of new hires are referrals. The same is true for sororities (although it wasn't worth it to me enough to join one) but sororities don't throw parties where crap like this happens. So they would still be useful without allowing house parties. But those rich donor daddies of the frat bros would never allow that.
I don’t even know why people still entertain their darties. I avoid them at all costs because every story I’ve heard includes girls getting knocked out even from just drinking water.
Honestly not surprised to see this headline after all the sorority posts by all the proud mamas on the book of faces last week. The Greek system at UTK has always been notorious for parties, was once even listed as a top party school by Playboy magazine, times change but stay the same..and yes, one of the two frats mentioned were a problem back then
I’m 30F now, but went to a frat party 10 years ago with my cousin. I woke up the next morning in another frat house on the other side of campus and my shoes were completely missing and I mentally woke up I was in a dude’s car in the McDonald’s drive thru (he was helping me at sunrise). If I hadn’t had my cousin with me, who knows what was going on happen to me because I have no clue what happened from one frat house to the next, where my shoes went, etc…

Ladies, utilize the buddy system and don't drink anything you didn't pour or open yourself.
