\u201cLisak\u2019s findings upended general presumptions about campus sexual assault: It implied that most incidents are not bumbling, he-said-she-said miscommunications, but rather deliberate crimes by serial sex offenders\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/h1>\n

Here is an excerpt from: A Rape on Campus: A Brutal Assault and Struggle for Justice at UVA\u00a0Rolling Stone<\/a><\/h1>\n
<\/div>\n

Frats are often the sole option for an underage drinker looking to party, since bars are off-limits, sororities are dry and first-year students don\u2019t get many invites to apartment soirees. Instead, the kids crowd the walkways of the big, anonymous frat houses, vying for entry. \u201cHot girls who are drunk always get in \u2013 it\u2019s a good idea to act drunker than you really are,\u201d says third-year Alexandria Pinkleton, expertly clad in the UVA-after-dark uniform of a midriff-baring sleeveless top and shorts. \u201cAlso? You have to seem very innocent and vulnerable. That\u2019s why they love first-year girls.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once successfully inside the frat house, women play the role of grateful guests in unfamiliar territory where men control the variables. In dark, loud basements, girls accept drinks, are pulled onto dance floors to be ground and groped and, later, often having lost sight of their friends, led into bathrooms or up the stairs for privacy. Most of that hooking up is consensual. But against that backdrop, as psychologist David Lisak discovered, lurk undetected predators. Lisak\u2019s 2002 groundbreaking study of more than 1,800 college men found that roughly nine out of 10 rapes are committed by serial offenders, who are responsible for an astonishing average of six rapes each. None of the offenders in Lisak\u2019s study had ever been reported. Lisak\u2019s findings upended general presumptions about campus sexual assault: It implied that most incidents are not bumbling, he-said-she-said miscommunications, but rather deliberate crimes by serial sex offenders.<\/p>\n

In his study, Lisak\u2019s subjects described the ways in which they used the camouflage of college as fruitful rape-hunting grounds. They told Lisak they target freshmen for being the most na\u00efve and the least-experienced drinkers. One offender described how his party-hearty friends would help incapacitate his victims: \u201cWe always had some kind of punch.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009We\u2019d make it with a real sweet juice. It was really powerful stuff. The girls wouldn\u2019t know what hit them.\u201d Presumably, the friends mixing the drinks did so without realizing the offender\u2019s plot, just as when they probably high-fived him the next morning, they didn\u2019t realize the behavior they\u2019d just endorsed. That\u2019s because the serial rapist\u2019s behavior can look ordinary at college. \u201cThey\u2019re not acting in a vacuum,\u201d observes Lisak of predators. \u201cThey\u2019re echoing that message and that culture that\u2019s around them: the objectification and degradation of women.\u201d<\/p>\n

One need only glance around at some recent college hijinks to see spectacular examples of the way the abasement of women has broken through to no-holds-barred misogyny: a Dartmouth student\u2019s how-to-rape guide posted online this past January; Yale pledges chanting \u201cNo means yes! Yes means anal!\u201d And despite its air of mannered civility, UVA has been in on the naughty fun for at least 70 years with its jolly fight song \u201cRugby Road,\u201d which celebrates the sexual triumphs of UVA fraternity men, named for the very same street where my guides and I are now enveloped in a thickening crowd of wasted first-years. Through the decades, the song has expanded to 35 verses, with the more recent, student-penned stanzas shedding the song\u2019s winking tone in favor of something more jarringly explicit:<\/p>\n

A hundred Delta Gammas, <\/em>a thousand AZDs
\n<\/em>Ten thousand Pi Phi bitches who get down on their knees
\n<\/em>But the ones that we hold true,\u00a0<\/em>the ones that we hold dear
\n<\/em>Are the ones who stay up late at night, and take it in the rear.<\/em><\/p>\n

In 2010, \u201cRugby Road\u201d was banned from football games \u2013 despite a petition calling it \u201can integral part\u201d of UVA culture. But Wahoos fearing the loss of tradition can take heart that \u201cRugby Road\u201d verses are still performed on campus by UVA\u2019s oldest a cappella group, the Virginia Gentlemen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
