In reply to the discussion: "Rapebait" Frat disbanded for promoting sexual violence. [View all]Maedhros
(10,007 posts)35. I'm not proud of it, and deserve any lumps I take for it,
but we sang songs just as bad. During Rush Week I visited nearly every fraternity on campus and, while I can't assert that every single one also had similar material in their repertoire, nearly all of them did. This was in the 80's during Ronnie's "Morning in America", so hopefully that kind of shit has diminished over time.
Granted, the sorority songs were more "bawdy" than rape-themed, but were still a bit squirm-inducing.
Maybe my campus was an exception?

I wonder how long till it's claimed that even this does not indicate rape culture...

While disbanding the frat is a good thing, what they really need to do is have mandatory
