Amid Rolling Stone’s Shoddy Reporting Fiasco, UVa Announces The Lift Of Fraternity And Sorority Suspensions In January
Amid a prodigious reporting clusterfuck that has left Rolling Stone waddling in its own shit, the University of Virginia has decided to reinstate all fraternity and sorority activities for the spring semester. The November article recounted a horrific gang rape that allegedly occurred inside the Phi Kappa Psi house, as told by Jackie, the alleged victim.
In the fallout of the publication of the article, all fraternities and sororities were suspended by the university while the incident was investigated. However, an egregious mishandling of the report, in which many discrepancies were detected, has led to the university’s decision to lift the suspensions for the spring semester.
In a joint statement released by the Fraternity and Sorority Political Action Committee, the National Panhellenic Conference, and the North American Fraternity Conference, the University of Virginia was urged to reinstate all fraternities and sororities.
From NICindy.org:
Finally, we call on the University of Virginia to immediately reinstate operations for all fraternity and sorority organizations on campus, to issue an apology for its actions of the last two weeks, to publicly explain and release all records for the basis of its decision to suspend our organizations, and outline what steps it will take to restore the reputation of our groups and students at UVA.
The university responded Monday and announced the suspension lifts, per the Los Angeles Times.
On Monday afternoon, the school released a statement saying fraternity and sorority activites [sic] would resume on Jan. 9.
A university spokesman revealed that reinstating all Greek activities in January was in their original plan..

Good. Now sue the hoaxer and that stupid reporter from RS for every penny they’ve got.
11 years ago at 12:43 pmHoaxer is probably in debt 200k to UVA for a women’s and gender studies degree and I doubt garnishing wages from the “journalist” is going to pay for more than the payments on a 328i. There should be public humiliation for this kind of shit.
11 years ago at 12:58 pmIt’s not about the money, it’s about sending message.
11 years ago at 1:53 pmOh I know, still, public humiliation. Put them in stocks and let us throw vegetables and shit at them.
11 years ago at 2:28 pmYou wanna know how I got these scars?
11 years ago at 9:23 pmIt doesn’t matter if they have pennies to their name. I say take those pennies
11 years ago at 2:03 pmThen they’re just leeches on the state for the rest of their lives. I think you can only garnish 25% of someone’s disposable income, which kind of makes sense.
11 years ago at 5:02 pmIts a good message to send but no point in suing someone who wont be able to get a job for the next 5 years.
11 years ago at 5:05 pmAre you implying that a successful company would hire a compulsive lier with a rape obsession? Fairly bold claim.
11 years ago at 12:56 pmGood. The reporter/editor/entire rolling stones news team who collaborated to release this article should be fired.
11 years ago at 12:45 pmHonda CRV. NF.
11 years ago at 12:45 pmFuck these assholes. You are correct.
11 years ago at 2:43 pmUniversities need to stop jumping the gun of these things and support THEIR students when it comes to the reputation of their future alumni
11 years ago at 12:47 pmAbsolutely. My cousin went to UVA some twenty years ago and wasn’t Greek, but still when I saw him at Thanksgiving he wasn’t pleased at all. Usually we banter about everyone’s alma matter but he didn’t want a part of that this year. UVA is an incredibly respectable school, hundreds of thousands of alumni at their offices suddenly went from being highly respected to “the guy from the rape school.” Contrary to what many feminists believe it is the responsibility of the university to defend itself, because it is in turn defending everyone to ever set foot through its doors.
11 years ago at 1:07 pmThe university should be ashamed for not performing proper due diligence in the first place. What a bunch of crap.
11 years ago at 12:52 pmMakes you wonder if anyone will give 1 cent of their hard earned post graduation money on the school that turned its back on its students the second things looked bad
11 years ago at 12:59 pmSounds to me like Phi Psi is about to get a nice new chapter room courtesy of rolling stone.
11 years ago at 12:52 pmShould include:
A: Formal apology from the University, and it’s feminist president.
B. An apology from Rolling Stone.
C. A resignation from the batshit crazy author.
D. An unmerciful lawsuit against “Jackie”/Author.
E. Immediate investigation into the vandals of the fraternity house.
11 years ago at 12:52 pmYou know multiple people are getting fired and sued over this crazy accusation with no due process
11 years ago at 1:00 pmYep. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty
11 years ago at 1:01 pmLiberals happened
11 years ago at 1:23 pmWhen it comes to successful, white males in America, we will always be guilty until proven innocent.
11 years ago at 1:39 pmThanks to the loser liberals who couldn’t make anything out of their gender studies degree
11 years ago at 10:18 pmI heard that Sabrina Erderly gang raped people in college. No need to check the validity of that statement. It’s true.
11 years ago at 1:16 pmHopefully, Rolling Stone writes this article. This true story needs to be heard
