Yale bans fraternity for rape chants

Amid a federal probe on sexual misconduct charges, Yale University has decided to sanction the Delta Kappa Epsilon chapter on its campus for pro-rape chants that were videotaped and widely distributed online last year.

In an email to faculty and students, Yale College Dean Mary Miller announced that DKE would be banned from recruiting or undertaking any activities on campus for five years.

The suspension includes restrictions on using university bulletin boards or the Yale email to communicate with students, and using the name of the university in connection with the fraternity as an organization.

Delta Kappa Epsilon was founded in 1844 at the university. It counts among its alumni five former presidents, including Theodore Roosevelt, Gerald Ford and George W. Bush.

Same kind of intimidation. Same kind of wrong.

the three cultures that Michael Kimmel describes in Guyland. These are the cultures that allow such behavior among young men and that protect them from the consequences (usually). In a case like this, some of the most privileged and entitled young men thought they could get away with anything short of physical assault. They were wrong. In my view, five years was too light, and I can't help wondering if pressure was brought to bear by the extremely wealthy and powerful alumni of DKE to ease up on the sentence.
