Texas Tech frat suspended for party banner promoting rape, sprinkler shaped like female genitalia

A Texas Tech fraternity has been indefinitely suspended after pictures leaked of a weekend party featuring a banner encouraging rape and a sprinkler shaped like female genitalia.

The photos, posted on totalfratmove.com, were taken at a weekend party hosted by Phi Delta Theta. One photo depicts a banner painted with the words “No Means Yes, Yes Means Anal.”

Another photo shows a sprinkler attached to a wooden cutout shaped like a woman with her legs spread apart.

Phi Delta Theta’s national headquarters has suspended the Tech chapter for the duration of an investigation into the matter, according to a statement from the national organization.

There was already a frat hazing drinking death of a first-year male a few weeks ago. I've always heard that Texas Tech was a bigger party school than Texas State (San Marcos) and it looks like they are holding up to that reputation. It sounds like there new chancellor (former Texas Senator Robert Duncan - Republican) has his work cut out for him.
