Vermont Frat Somehow Manages to Give Frats an Even Worse Reputation

The Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity at the University of Vermont is seen Wednesday, Dec. 14, 2011 in Burlington, Vt. The fraternity was suspended over a survey that asked members who they would like to rape.  The national Sigma Phi Epsilon organization says in a statement that is has instructed the chapter to cease all operation, pending further investigation. It says that any behavior that demeans women is not tolerated.(AP Photo/Toby Talbot) The frat.

In what hitherto seemed like an impossible feat, the University of Vermont's Sigma Phi Epsilon frat has managed to further sully the already abysmal reputation of a culture known the world over for rampant alcoholism, occasionally deadly hazing rituals, "pimps and hoes" theme parties, and general douchiness. How did they pull off such an impressive coup?

A fraternity at the University of Vermont has been suspended after circulating a quiz asking members who they would most like to rape.

The survey, which included other more mundane questions about age and grade level, ended with the question, "If I could rape someone, who would it be?"

Yep, that'll do it.
