[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know about 2 gang rapes at frats at Hampton Sydney in the 1980s; went to college with both girls. Doesn't include all the date rapes I heard about, with some guys adulterating drinks and weed.

I knew frat guys at other colleges who called the "regular" girls who would come to their parties "coke whores and shroom sluts"--again in 80s Virginia -- basically girls came in and did drugs, and it was perceived they were there to do whatever the guys wanted.

After my freshman year I stayed away from all frats, especially the ones with the richer guys. When I did go to a party I got my own drink and did not let it out of my sight. My friends and I made agreements to stick together and I'm so glad we did.  [/quote]

Did you go to Sweet Briar, RMWC, Hollins or Mary Baldwin?  I went to one of the women's colleges in the late 80s and I could see it have easily happening but never heard of it from someone I knew.  I hung out at different times at W&L, H-S and UVA but I pretty much always had a boyfriend.  Still, bad stuff certainly went on and everyone was always drunk as hell.  [/quote]

Yep, went to one of the VA women's colleges. And, these incidents were ones with people I knew. My observation: if you had a steady boyfriend who "protected" you, you were ok. Otherwise, you really had to watch alcohol consumption or make sure your friends looked out for each other. Yep, everyone was always drunk at social events and this was few years after the drinking age had changed to 21. I think the colleges have tried to make social events less about alcohol now, but afraid they might have just driven it behind closed doors even more than it was in the 80s.

Yes indeed I think we were in that social whirl at the same time - really scary, raunchy behavior.  your right too, a girl without a boyfriend was fair game for anyone.  I dont think there were gang rapes but who the hell knows...  Stories are coming back to me that make we wonder why we didnt questions more.  Lots of that bnehavior was really messed up.  How about Phi Kappa Snappa?  Or remember when it all came out about the Phi Delt who killed a fellow female student at W&L in a drunken hit and run (she was wlaking on the side of the road) and he and his fraternity bros lied and hid it for months...  Most of the guys involved were BMOCs at W&L.  Nothing much happened to the other guys if I recall...[/quote]
