A flag of underwear: Photo from Kavanaugh's time shows DKE hijinks

Source: Yale Daily News

In an Aug. 30 letter to leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committee, female college classmates of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh ’87 LAW ’90 testified to the judge’s respect for women, praising his character and his support for female athletics at Yale.

But in his first year of college, Kavanaugh joined an organization notorious for disrespecting women: the campus chapter of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity.
...


In addition to DKE, Kavanaugh also belonged to Truth and Courage, one of Yale’s secret societies for seniors. Among some students, the all-male club, which was popular with athletes, was known by the nickname “Tit and Clit.”

Truth and Courage fizzled out of existence in the early 2010s. But since Kavanaugh’s graduation in 1987, DKE’s reputation for mistreating women at Yale has only grown. Yale banned DKE from campus for five years in 2011 after videos circulated of fraternity recruits chanting “no means yes, yes means anal” in front of the University’s Women’s Center.

and the other two - glazed donut and FFFF - before I read your post. All the mind bleach in the world will never give me back the innocence I just lost. Don't get me wrong. I wasn't all that innocent in the first place. At least, I didn't think I was. Uck

telling the story about how excited they were when they found out his wife was pregnant and they referred to the fetus as a "little bean". He was another self-righteous fake.

Boofing is a term all kayakers know. It means keeping bow up at the right times.

How in the Sam Hill did it get re-purposed to mean . . . this ?

I knew a couple of them and could have rushed, but I could never figure out why I need to join a frat in order to get barfing drunk and be one of the campus assholes.

Yes, we partied hard, but I didn't feel like one of the campus assholes.
Far from it.
Would I do some of the same things almost 60 years later that I did then?
Of course not.
Culturally it was a far different time.
People grow, evolve, and learn.
Don't damn everyone who happened to belong to a fraternity.

Just my 2 cents.

That's why they got the approval of 65 women. It all makes sense now.
This should be the clincher I'll bet!

I've always maintained that if you want to find the biggest assholes on campus, visit the fraternities. Not all but most. Their rethug daddies taught 'em well.

They would probably need to do some research to verify some of this new stuff coming out on Kavanaugh.

I admit I don't know much about the Greek system, but the fraternity that was for all the preppy rich assholes was TKE and they were known for date rape and roofies. They were out about their bacchanals and advertised drunken parties openly on campus. People who went to those went got get wasted and screw something.
