Eagle Rants: April 29, 2013

• u suck editor!

• Keep pretending like HAZING doesn't happen in all the other frats! U ARE SO IGNORANT OF REALITY!

• U cant HAZE with WEED! IT ISNT PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE!

• To the S&M/hazing poster: that's actually really interesting. I've never thought of it that way...

• @#GreeksstandsbyTKE, nice try, but it doesn't negate the fact that TKE is still a moronic gang of neanderthals. And guess what? They are no more! Now if only the same thing can happen to Pike...

• Stupid azz editor try'n to make stuff up bout TKE. Dat ain't cool playa. Hell it racist. TKE TILL I DIE!!!!

• if you use lulu ratings in daily conversations, please revaluate your life. (and i'm being nice)

• you should talk to scary intimidating girl. it's the end of the semester. why not?

• The only person Wisniewski pushed was David, and even then, it doesn't seem like he played that much of a role in that campaign. He had nothing to do with Reiter and very little to do with Hoffman.

• "Hey idiot, TKE could have easily issued a formal statement and disseminated it to the student body repudiating the claims made in the Eagle article, rather than resorting to asinine thuggery that ended up portraying TKE as nothing more than a gang of idiots who try to stifle free press." We're doing just that. In the mean time, we thought it wouldn't be so great if there were 5,000 copies of a lie-filled paper floating around campus. There's a difference between stifling free press and protecting against libel.

• So is anyone seriously surprised that people who have to pay money to have friends are sometimes also willing to do stupid stuff in order to obtain them? That's the entire point of frats.

• I think it's disgusting that so many people are defending TKE. It took guts to come forward with hazing information and I commend the brothers for doing it. Also the fact that the AU Assistant Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life, Curtis Burrill, has yet to comment on the situation is irresponsible. I can only image what other fraternities and sororities can get away with...

• "TKE will never be EI. EI knows how to clean a lint trap." Oohh, burn.

• The next time you get blackout drunk, please send me a heads-up text so I know I'm on call. Sometimes I sleep through my phone ringing, and I would never forgive myself if you needed help but couldn't get through to me.

• Has anyone ever got into some crazy hijinks in the SIS building at night? I went in there to study one night and I was surprised that there are no security guards and that I never got kicked out.

• I want you to ask me to your formal so bad.

• You think the hazing TKE did was bad? I heard the outgoing president of AU Dems made her successor listen to Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton read raw statistical data for two hours.

• Get tested for STDs. Knowing is better than not knowing, even if all your results come out negative. [Editor's Note: I got tested last week! It's free!]

• Damn those Zeta Psi boys!!! Like really though

• it's finals week, can I just walk up to guys and ask them to bone me?

• Okay, so can someone like make a comprehensive list of what the Eagle is accused of having misreported in the article? I've heard the mayo and the milk challenge controversies...just trying to hear both sides

• The one dude from Mission Improvable is my current AU celebrity crush ;)

• That's because S&M is between two consenting, private individuals on their own time - NOT a school-affiliated organization, moron! TKE and frats have to get the approval from AU and they're part of the university and exist only 'cause AU allows it, THAT'S why they're allowed to monitor the screaming/yelling/exercise.

• seriously editor, do you not see the hideous black diamonds with the question marks? Whatever you're using to check the word count of the rants is screwing up the formatting. Try something else!

• I sometimes look at the AU class of 2017 page and shake my head at all the childlike wonder that will disappear after the first month at AU

• Can we let the SG rants go? Seriously the election ended almost a month ago, and clearly there are more pressing issues at hand. Everyone just chill. Everyone.

• Has the Greek community reached consensus over the TKE debacle? Are you standing by TKE (#greeksstandbyTKE)? Do you believe that TKE gives their community a bad reputation? Have you acknowledged TKE acted wrongly by hazing to the extent that their chapter doesn't exist on campus?

• I'm not sure what's worse, late Eagle Rants or Overheard not posting!!! [Editor's Note: Sorry for the late rants, I'm in the middle of moving to a new apartment and internet is hard to come by these days.]

• @"If after 50,000 a year of AU tuition you are still too stupid to believe everything you read,,,you should of just saved a bunch of money and gone to state school. " #Photosbiatch

• ay girl, lemme see that butthole girl
