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..

That’s why you become friends with sorority girls, they are everywhere and will find your pledge books and bring them to you. I still have my pledge book from 05 and I have several others from pledges who could not keep their pledge books on them at all times if in public, most handed to me by the sorority girls. Needless to say, they didn’t make it in.

11 years ago at 2:09 pmI’ve seen guys from the 80s on here, I still like to keep up with what’s going on in the Greek community, have some respect for alumni, they may be the deciding factor for you to get a job one day. You are the example me and the rest of our BoT set of a Greek member that you do not want to be.
11 years ago at 3:59 pmI would venture so say the vast majority of TFM readers are alumni.

Thank you.
11 years ago at 1:36 pmIt’s almost as if people just want to end Greek life quicker. We’re already on slippery slope of Greek life being gone forever but these idiots are just expediting the process. For fuck’s sake.
11 years ago at 2:27 pmI commend your point but Greek life ain’t going anywhere. Holding this shit down ’till the Armageddon.
11 years ago at 10:52 amThis is why we tell the pledges to never lose their pledge book.
11 years ago at 2:34 pmLight-hearted misogny = funny and not a big deal. Lynching = NF and guarantees a media shit storm. This seems obvious to me, but some Greeks sure have screwed the pooch lately. Get it together, gentlemen.
