Pledges: GW Frat Brothers Hazed Us

APES Rat Out Hazing to Officials
GW Busts Fraternity Leaders

A George Washington University fraternity is being investigated for hazing after several of its pledges told campus administrators they feared for their well being as "hell week" approached.

Pledges reported through anonymous tip lines they believed they were being hazed by the brothers.

The university last week began investigating the accusations. Since then, three brothers have been suspended on hazing and drug violations and another was hospitalized after overdosing on sleeping pills.

University police have confiscated cell phones and computers in the ongoing investigation. Local police were also contacted by the university to look into violations of Washington, D.C.'s anti-gang laws.

While some pledges maintain that the accusations are legitimate and that they feared for their personal safety while going through the fraternity's pledge process, one says that's not the case.

"If I could start over and do it again from day one, I would," the pledge who asked to remain anonymous said.

George Washington University has made plans to add another sorority to its growing Greek population.

"We receive applications in January and these applications are reviewed by a committee of representatives of all the current organizations," said Dean Harwood, the university's director of Greek Life and assistant director of the Student Activities Center told its student newspaper. "Then the three finalists make presentations."

The university's Panhellenic Association voted in favor of adding the sorority and hopes to decide which organization it will except by March.

Two Former GW Student Gov. Officers Forced Oral Sex, Police Say

Student Leaders Allegedly Sexually Abuse Sophomore, Report Says

Two former officers of George Washington University's student government sexually abused a sophomore, forcing her to give both oral sex at a party, police said.

Police said GW students Lamar Thorpe, former student association president, and Richard Fowler, the organization's finance chair, assaulted the woman.

The woman told police Thorpe invited her to his room about 7 months ago for a party, but when she got there the two men forced he to quickly drink alcohol and give them both oral sex.

Thorpe and Fowler have maintained their innocence, saying that they didn't physically touch the woman.

GW Delts Will Return in Fall of '08

Delta Tau Delta Fraternity to Return in Fall of 2008

After being removed from the campus of George Washington University in 2004 for hazing allegations, Delta Tau Delta fraternity is set to recruit a new set of brothers for a return to the campus in the fall of 2008.

The return is currently only an administrative process, but soon new members will be allowed to pledge the new Delt chapter. After being suspended in 2004, the national organization of the fraternity approved it to attempt a return in 2008.

"(Delta Tau Delta) still has property on campus, so we knew they weren't going to go away anytime soon," Chris DiBitetto, the university's IFC president, told the campus student newspaper.

Pothead Population at GW Growing

Drugs in the DormsCharges related to the possession of marijuana have become more and more prevalent each of the past few years at George Washington University.

"We have seen a rise in cases that involve distribution of drugs," Tara Woolfson, the university's director of Student Judicial Services told GW's student newspaper. "This is a significant concern for us. I can't speculate as to why we have seen an increase."

Students at the university who are convicted of intent to distribute charges are usually evicted from their campus housing, the college's student newspaper said.

D.C. Shop Sells the Exclusive Greek Gear Everyone Wants

Pledged To Greek Gear

Fraternity guys and sorority girls in Washington D.C. know exactly where they can find the latest in Greek apparel and accesories each year during rush.

The University Shop, which opened 14 years ago in Washington D.C., is the exclusive location where students can get officially licensed merchandise for his or her sorority or fraternity. Students from the University of Maryland, Johns Hopkins, George Mason, Georgetown, and George Washington all spend serious amounts of cash each spring at the store, especially during the period between rush and initiation.

"It's tough to be in such a niche business," said store manager Derek Martino.

"Girls come in here, spend $60 on a paddle and think this store makes tons of money, but they don't see how slow it can be the rest of the year," he said. Sororities and fraternities have become more aggressive in policing the use of their signature Greek letters, and only 350 stores like the one in D.C. can officially sell the products.

How To Give a Blowjob With Strep Throat

Can I give a guy a blowjob if I have strep throat? Since I'm on antibiotics for it, my birth control isn't working and I want to do something.
- Sore but Sexy in Ivory Tower

Let me preface this by saying that you can do whatever you want. But now I'm going to do everything in my power to talk you out of performing this disgusting, slimy, swollen debacle of oral sex. Strep throat in grown-ups is often characterized by a high fever, difficulty swallowing, shortness of breath, and a pus-like coating over the tonsils. For starters, you probably are not able to breathe out your nose when you have strep, so you might pass out during the act. Everybody loves a half-finished blow job and an unconscious chick.

Second of all, you have pus on your tonsils. That pus is what makes your throat burn. When it interacts with semen (which it will do even if you do not let him finish in your mouth, hell-O, pre-cum?), it will feel like his penis just shot fire into your throat. Sexy.

And third, poorly treated strep throat can lead to a myriad of diseases. Even on antibiotics, stressing out your throat when you have strep can lead to rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever is a disease from, like, the Oregon Trail that causes damage to your heart valves and can kill you. Do you really want your gravestone to read "Here Lies Sore and Horny, Who Could Not Wait Until the Pus Cleared from Her Throat to Give Head. Now She's Dead."

So, like I said, do whatever you want. But giving head when you have strep throat is gross. And you'll die.

Hard Nipples at GW

The Frat Boy News Daily College Column
By Eve, George Washington University Sex Columnist

Since we started soliciting questions, I have been getting some fabulously interesting ones, but also some terribly offensive ones.

Listen, folks, I am a sex columnist, and I know that phrases like "jizz juice" and "donkey punch" come with the territory. But I am not a smelly pirate whore, so whoever you are who anonymously sent me the note about how much you "love to make your girlfriend get on her knees three times a day. I love to make her feel submissive, like she's nothing," you are writing to the wrong girl. I love sex, and I love kink, but I love people, too. Get it right or cut it off.

And now, a genuinely interesting question from a super sexy GW nymphet.

Dear Eve,

Do girls notice when guys have hard-ons as much as we notice when their nipples are hard?

-Can't Stand Up After Class in a Chilly Room

Not even close. Nipples are not called "headlights" for no reason: they are bright and obvious. We can't sit down and hide our nipples. We can't put a notebook over our nipples. We can't tuck our nipples under our belt (which is a very clever move, you sly boots). The penis, though much larger (in most cases) than any nipple, is much more easily concealed.

Obviously, when we are pressed against you, we can feel your erection quite distinctly. This is a good thing if we have decided to lie down in a bed with you or let you press us up against a wall and kiss us like you haven't kissed in years. This is a bad thing if you are a stranger in a club or at a bar. Note the distinction.
