Porn Star Played Role in Sexual Assault at Washington State's Theta House

Porn Actor Sought in Sorority Rape

Police are looking for a male porn star they say shares the blame with a Washington State University student who broke into three of the college's sororities and sexually assaulted a woman sleeping at the Kappa Alpha Theta house.

Christopher Jack Reid, 25, is better known as his alias in the porn industry "Jack Venice." Police say he and student Kyle M. Schott, 23, "sexually assaulted a woman in a manner that did not involve intercourse" on Thursday who was sleeping at the university's Kappa Alpha Theta house.

Earlier that evening, police say the two men broke into the university's Pi Beta Phi and Delta Gamma houses.

The woman who reported being sexually assaulted wasn't a sister of Kappa Alpha Theta, but was spending the night at their house. She told police she awoke to the sound of a condom being opened and the men fled from the house.

Schott was arrested Friday after the incident and charged with second-degree rape, first-degree burglary, attempted residential burglary and two counts of residential burglary.

Police said the porn star is still on the loose. His last known address was believed to be in Los Angeles. Reid has appeared in over 85 pornos and such classics as "Cougars on the Hunt" and "My First Sex Teacher."

Record Numbers of Freshmen Girls Rushing Sororities

Freshmen girls at colleges around the nation are rushing sororities at record numbers.

“There is a higher number of freshmen this year and when freshmen enrollment goes up, then usually so does recruitment numbers,” said Anita Corey, Washington State University's director of the Center of Fraternity and Sorority Life.

"It was a stressful but very good experience," said Caitlin Burns, a Kansas State University freshman who got a bid from Sigma Kappa. "I'm glad I did it even though I didn't get my first preference. It's going good so far."

Even girls with disabilities are getting in on the action.

"I was worried they wouldn't accept me," said Ashley Wagner, a quadriplegic girl who got a bid from Kansas State's chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma.

"I obviously can't get upstairs, so they carried me up themselves on bid day, which was really nice," she said.

Black is the Color of Love

Black Sororities Offer 'Lifelong Love'

“The main thing that black sororities offer if lifelong membership and love," said Alpha Kappa Alpha sister Shawna Newbill from Richmond, Va.

The Tuscaloosa News reported Sunday in an article that was a primer for those unfamiliar with black sororities.

Washington State University's office of Greek life stated “It is important that each person commit to the purpose of their founders and the organization’s goal for the upliftment of the black race."

The article also identified the "divine nine" international Greek letter organizations: Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc., Iota Phi Theta Fraternity Inc., Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc., Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc., Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. and Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.

These organizations are members of the National Pan Hellenic Council, which was formed in 1930 at Howard University, the traditionally black college.
