>>A UC FRAT IS UNDER FIRE FOR HAVING THEIR NEW MEMBERSATTAIN RUSH BOOBS. THAT IS WHEN PLEDGES ASK WOMEN TO WRITE RUSH AND THEIRFRAT ON THEIR CHESTS, AND THEN SEND PICTURES OF THEIRBOOBS AS PART OF PLEDGING. APPARENTLY, THIS IS COMMON, BUT ONE RECIPIENT WAS NOT UPFOR THE TASK. THIS GIRL RECEIVED THIS MESSAGE SAYING, "RACHEL, I NEEDYOUR HELP. SO I'M IN A FRAT NOW, AND WE HAVE TO GET RUSH BOOBS. IF YOU OR ANY OF YOUR FRIENDS CAN HELP ME OUT I WOULDREALLY APPRECIATE IT. I DON'T NEED FACES, I JUST NEED TOPLESS PICS WITH RUSHSIGMA ALPHA EPSILON. ">> WHAT AN INAPPROPRIATE SMILEYFACE. >> THAT IS THE NICEST WAY TO ASK FOR NUDES. >> INSTEAD OF EXPOSING HERSELF, SHE EXPOSED THE RUSH WEEKPROPOSAL ON FACEBOOK AND THAT MESSAGE TO SAN DIEGO MEDIA. THEY SUSPENDED THE MEMBERS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INCIDENT. YOU SAID THIS IS VERY POPULAR AND COMMON ñ>> I DID IT. WE HAD TO DO RUSH BOOBS AS WELL. BUT HERE IS WHAT I DID INSTEAD, I TOOK A PICTURE OF KATEUPTON AND CROPPED EVERYTHING ELSE AND A PHOTOSHOPED MYFRATERNITY'S LETTERS ON IT. KATE UPTON LET ME DO THAT. BUT I HAD THE HAND AND BRA IN THIS PARTICULAR THING. >> OUR GREEK SYSTEM IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT AT MY COLLEGE. SORORITIES ALWAYS CAME TO THE MALES AND SAID WE NEED YOUTO BE SHIRTLESS SO THAT WE CAN WRITE ON YOU. THERE WAS MANY TIMES THAT OUR SORORITY WOULD SAY HEY, INEED YOU TO TAKE YOUR SHIRT OFF. THERE IS A DOUBLE STANDARD IN A SENSE. >>I HATE WHEN WOMEN ASK ME TO GET NAKED AS WELL. >> AT UCONN GREEK LIFE WAS 11 PERCENT. I AM COMING FROM A VERY PARTICULAR PERSPECTIVE. THERE REALLY WAS NO GREEK LIFE ON MY CAMPUS. I KNOW THAT THESE SORTS OF STORIES COME UP EVERY ONCEIN A WHILE. TODAY, THERE IS 1MILLION FRATS THAT ARE NOT IN THE NEWS FOR STUFF LIKE THIS. IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE, WE CAN'T GET PAST THIS. FRATS SEEM SO ARCHAIC TO ME. IT FEELS LIKE THIS WAS NECESSARY 150 YEARS AGO. THERE ARE OTHER WAYS OF ASSOCIATING AND MEETING PEOPLETHESE DAYS. THE LEADERSHIP OF THIS, BOTH AT THE CAMPUS AND THE NATIONALLEVEL, THEY SAY THAT WE WOULD NEVER STAND FOR THIS ñ>>I DON'T WANT TO BASH THE GREEK SYSTEM ñ>> BUT I DO THOUGH. >> BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF GREAT WORK THAT GREEK LIFE DOES. THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME WE WERE DOING COMMUNITY SERVICE, WEWERE IN SCHOOLS, SO YOU HAVE THIS TIME WERE WE ARE JUST KIDS. ALL OF A SUDDEN NOW YOU ARE FORCED TO BE IN THISRESPONSIBLE POSITION, BUT YOU ALSO WANT TO HAVE FUN. >>THE PLEDGING PROCESS DOES REQUIRE NOT ONLY DO MANYTHINGS TO WOMEN, BUT ALSO DEMEANING THINGS TO THEMSELVES. THERE ARE SOME PLEDGING TASKS THAT ARE DEGRADING AND AWFUL. >>IT HAPPENS IN SORORITIES AS WELL. >> 100 PERCENT. >> THERE IS A REASON WHY IT IS ANCIENT. THERE IS A REASON WHY SOME THINGS HAVE NOT CHANGED. THERE IS AN IDEA BEHIND IT, IN TERMS OF BUILDING A BOND OFBROTHERHOOD. I DO GENUINELY TAKE A LOT OF LIFE LESSONS ñIT'S NOT THAT DIFFERENT FROM BEING IN THE ARMY. I KNOW PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SHIT ON ME FOR THIS. SOME OF THE THINGS ARE RIDICULOUS, BUT THEN THEREARE ALSO GREAT MEMORIES OF THINGS WE HAVE DONE. I STILL TALK TO MY PLEDGE BROTHERS. >> I AM NOT GOING TO EQUATES THIS WITH THE ARMY, BUT IDO AGREE WITH YOU THAT THERE IS A GREAT BONDING THAT COMESFROM GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS WITH YOUR SISTERS OR BROTHERS. I GET YOU. TO ASK A WOMAN TO SEND A PICTURE LIKE THIS IS MORE DEGRADINGBECAUSE IT'S NOT LIKE I AM CHOOSING TO SHOW YOU A NUDEPICTURE OF MYSELF BECAUSE THIS IS MY BODY AND I GET TO SAYWHAT I WANT. YOU ARE CUTTING OFF HER HEAD AND MAKING HER AN OBJECT. >> SO, IF HER FACE WAS IN THERE, YOU WOULD BE OKAY WITH IT?>> I DON'T KNOW. I THINK IT'S RIDICULOUS FOR THESE GUYS TO DO THIS. I THINK THAT IT'S ABSURD AND RIDICULOUS. BUT IF A GIRL DECIDES THAT SHE WANTS TO TAKE A NUDEPICTURE OF HERSELF, THEN HAVE AT IT. >>I HAVE TWO POINTS TO MAKE. ONE, THEY MET AT A FREE THE NIPPLE RALLY. MAYBE HE ASSUMED THAT SHE WOULD BE OKAY FREEING HER NIPPLEFOR RUSH. NUMBER TWO, NEVERMIND I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE THIS POINT. >> I ACTUALLY PULLED THESE GRAPHICS TO TALK ABOUT THIS. I DO THINK THESE ARE TWO COMPLETELY SEPARATE THINGS. THE GIRL SAYS THE PREMISE OF GOING TOPLESS FOR FREE THENIPPLE IS EXACTLY OPPOSITE OF EXPOSING MYSELF WITHOUTEVEN MY FACE BEING THERE, JUST EXPOSING MY BODY TO SAY,"JOIN THIS FAT. "THOSE ARE TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS. >> IF MORE WOMEN FREED THE NIPPLE, THEN THERE WOULD BENO RUSH BOOBS BECAUSE ñ>>GUYS ARE ALWAYS GOING TO TRY TO GET SOMETHING THEY CAN'THAVE. >> I THINK THAT THE CONVERSATION SHOULD HAPPEN BECAUSE WECLEARLY ASSUMED THAT HE IS BEING IMMATURE AND THAT SHE WOULDBE COMFORTABLE WITH THIS. WE ALL SEND MIXED MESSAGES AS INDIVIDUALS. SOMETIMES YOU CAN BE FLIRTY AND A GIRL WILL THINK THAT YOUARE FLIRTING WITH HER, BUT I AM ACTUALLY BEING NICE. MAYBE HE ASSUMED THAT BECAUSE SHE'S AT THIS RALLY SHEWOULD BE COMFORTABLE SHOWING HER BODY. I THINK WHAT COULD'VE BEEN A BETTER TEACHING MOMENTIF SHE WENT TO HIM IN THE FRAT AND SAID HEY, THIS ISINAPPROPRIATE FOR ME AND MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE. SHE SHOULD'VE DONE THAT INSTEAD OF REPORTING HIM. >> BUT TALKING TO A GROUP OF MEN LIKE THAT IS NOT GOING TOCHANGE THEIR MINDS. I WANT TO GIVE GUYS IN FRATS THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. BUT SAYING THAT YOU FELT THAT IT WAS INAPPROPRIATE IS NOTGOING TO GET THEM TO CHANGE THEIR MINDS.
