On Friday, March 28, the Office of Student Integrity (OSI) disbanded the Phi Kappa Tau fraternity at Tech until May 15, 2017, effectively ending the organization’s right to be recognized as a Chartered Student Organization and requiring that the chapter premises be vacated before May 6.

These sanctions take place almost five months after the chapter was placed on probation following the ubiquitous “rape bait” email.

Based on its investigations in the case, OSI found multiple instances where the chapter violated the rules set forth by that probationary letter that have occurred since the original probation began on Nov. 1, 2013.

The first violation occurred when two fraternity members, one of whom was Matthew Petersen, the author of the “rape bait” email, furnished alcohol to minors, according to GTPD Incident Report 14020433. Both Petersen and the other fraternity member were underage at that time and also consumed alcohol. This was in clear violation of section C1a of the Student Code of Conduct, which prohibits underage use or possession of alcohol.

According to the official letter from OSI to the fraternity that was obtained by the Technique, additional reasons for Phi Kappa Tau’s dismissal include a “pattern of sexual violence that…suggests a deep-rooted culture within the fraternity that is obscene, indecent and endangers women,” the nonremoval of fraternity members who pose a risk to others and other incidents where drinking was permitted in chapter meetings. This is corroborated by various chapter meeting minutes and emails obtained by the Technique from the OSI.

“Solid party Friday! A few things about it though:

2. The pledges rock! I’m pretty sure they drank more in that night then all the JAs combined for the whole semester. They definitely hooked up with more girls that the fall haha”

Fraternal Songs

The following is one of the songs required by the fraternity required pledges to sing both after initiation and at their Christmas party.

THE S&M MAN

Leader: Who can take a bicycle,

Group: Who can take a bicycle,

Leader: Tear off the seat.

Group: Tear off the seat.

Leader: Impale a virgin on it, and push her down a bumpy street.

Leader: The S & M man.

Group: Oh the S & M man.

Leader: Oh the S & M man.

Group: Oh the S & M man.

Chorus: The S &M man,

‘Cause he mixes it with love,

And makes the hurt feel good

Makes the hurt feel good.

Who can take two ice picks

Stick ‘em in her ears

Ride her like a Harley while he pokes her in the rear

Who can take two jumper cables

Hook ‘em to her tits

Turn on the juice and electrocute the bitch

Who can go to an abortion clinic

Sneak around the back

Rummage through the dumpster and find a tasty snack

Who can take a blender

Stick it in her cunt

Turn the sucker on and purrate her little twat

Who can take some acid

Pour it on her twat

Then watch the cunt muffin rot

Who can take a bottle

Shove it up her ass

Hit her with a bat and shatter all the glass

Who can take a tight slut

Fuck her ‘till she cries

Then pull it out real fast and skeet into her eyes

Who can take a chainsaw

Saw the bitch in two

Take the top half and give the bottom half to you

Who can take a razor blade

give her a nasty cut

and then use the blood to lube up her butt
