In 1776, the Phi Beta Kappa society was founded at the College of William and Mary for men in the "pursuit of liberal education and intellectual fellowship." Over the course of the next two centuries, Greek letter societies proliferated across the U.S. and morphed into the all-male butt-chugging clubs we know as fraternities today. This year in particular was big for frats, in that they were clearly identified as the primary arena for rape to take place on campus.

In light of Rolling Stone's massive reporting fuck-up at UVa, the conversation about how much danger frats pose to women (and sometimes their own members) has been sidetracked. Let's not forget that frats are still bad.

Statistically speaking, fraternity men are three times more likely to commit rape than their non-Greek peers. Keeping in mind that most victims do not report rape, and many reports do not make the news, here is a month-by-month rundown of reports involving rape at fraternities this year. Let us know if we missed any.
