Pi Kappa Phi At NCSU Suspended After Pledge Book Full Of Offensive Comments Discovered
The Pi Kappa Phi chapter at North Carolina State University has been placed on interim suspension pending an investigation into the contents of one of their pledge books, which was found at a restaurant near campus. The book was chock-full of handwritten derogatory notes towards women, as well as some racially charged comments.
Here are some excerpts from the book:
“Be kind to the whales because they’ll lead you to the dolphins.”
“The only reason I don’t hook up with fat chicks is I’m afraid I’ll love it.”
I think every guy here can relate to that last sentiment, and the dolphin line is legitimately funny. Not seeing much of an issue here.
“That tree is so perfect for lynching.”
You had to go there, huh? It was so promising, and then you threw us all a racially charged curveball.
“It will be short and painful, just like when I rape you.”
“If she’s hot enough, she doesn’t need a pulse.”
Fuck. What happened to all those good, cheeky fat girl jokes? That’s your wheelhouse, kid.
From WRAL:
“The written comments and quotes reported earlier this evening are offensive and unacceptable,” Pi Kappa Phi Chief Executive Officer Mark E. Timmes said in a statement. “These statements are inconsistent with the values of Pi Kappa Phi and will not be tolerated. We have instructed our students to cooperate fully with all investigation efforts.”
Guarantee this pledge is long gone, and for what exactly? Writing a bunch of faux pas statements he doesn’t believe in for the sake of being what he thinks is funny.
Word of advice to you kids out there: Have the impression that everything you say aloud will be recorded and everything you write down will be read by the masses. The greek community would have far less problems if we all had this train of thought. Also, stop being generally shitty..

Whoever said the first excerpt needs to write a book

11 years ago at 12:01 pmWorst part here is WRAL and the rest of the media is trying to make this out as some sort of Mean Girls type of a burn book. Which is not the case at all. So now the talking heads and impulse activists are running with this completely out of context
11 years ago at 12:01 pmThose quotes are written in his pledge book by brothers likely as a requirement to prove that they have spent time with each brother. As a pledge once upon a time I would not have thought it a good idea to tell an idiot brother to not write what he wants in your book. That being said, it is not necessarily the kids fault. Pledges are also usually required to keep their pledge book on them at all times seeing as they may be approached at any time. Do I agree with the comments? Absolutely not but people get a life, its never going to change.
11 years ago at 12:03 pmIt’s the stupid pledges fault for leaving it at a restaurant
11 years ago at 12:06 pmKeeping it with them at all times definitely doesn’t involve leaving it in a fucking restaurant. Because, by definition, it won’t be with him at that point. It’s his fucking fault.
11 years ago at 12:27 pmEverything is the pledges fault.
11 years ago at 3:25 pmCome on Brothers, first the recording of rituals in a sewer, and now this. Lock it down boys, these are dangerous times.

11 years ago at 1:23 am“I’m just gonna write down all the hilarious cool things my new bros say, this can’t possibly backfire!”
11 years ago at 12:17 pmGod damn it guys. Stop writing this shit down or putting it online. Also, haze the shit out of those pledges.
11 years ago at 12:27 pmWhy do idiots have to make a record every stupid thing they do?
11 years ago at 12:27 pmSince when did Pi Kapp have values?
11 years ago at 12:32 pmSocial media will be the ultimate demise for Greek life.
11 years ago at 12:52 pmActually, the demise of Greek Life will be the idiots who still think it’s funny to lynch and rape.
