[quote=Anonymous]Also, there is this whole "southern" thing (or maybe it's a Virginia thing) about preserving ones reputation and having this pristine image.  I went to a school not unlike UVA in sports and academics, only it was in California.  I also went to frat parties, etc.  Saw some crazy stuff, but NOTHING like what was in the RS article.  Here's the thing - if I or anyone else ever showed up at my friends' doors bloodied and said I was raped by 7 people, there is not one person I know who wouldn't have rushed me to the hospital.  NOBODY would have said anything about preserving my reputation, because it would not have occurred to us...  Someone is all bloodied and says they were raped by 7 people and this is the first thing that comes to mind???  What kind of value system is this school pushing???  Or, maybe its the families that send their kids to this school?   Do people really value reputation so much they will be raped and beaten for it?  I think animals in the jungle have higher moral standards than that....
