USC Frat House Kappa Sigma Sends Out Email That Paints Sorority Women as Prostitutes, 'Targets'

Leave it to a frat house to remind us how utterly retarded and immature men are.

Because nothing says enlightened like a 21st century white boy in a college club for dorks who can't get laid. USC fraternity Kappa Sigma is getting national heat for an email sent out to members about how to get "sorostitutes" to "put out."

We're not surprised, although it does amaze us how young people getting $40,000 a year worth of high-end schooling can come up with words like "sorostitute."

Here's part of the email (via Huffington Post):

I have come to write this memo to you today to educate on the only life worth living, that of a Cocksman. A Cocksman is taught to live by the two most applicable principles I know: The Pie and the Gullet. You may already be lost in trying to comprehend this logic. Do not worry this is completely understandable. By the end of this memo, you will not only gain a greater understanding of what it means to live, but you will have embraced a lifestyle. However, in order for this to happen you first must know a couple key terms.

Note: I will refer to females as "targets". They aren't actual people like us men. Consequently, giving them a certain name or distinction is pointless.

No frat controversy would be complete without reference to Middle Eastern women as "targets" to be avoided, code names for other ethnicities, and a reference to rape being different than "non-consent."

A national spokesman for Kappa Sigma said the email does not represent its values.

Really? Bunch of white guys living in a beer garden are all about sexual and ethnic equality, huh?

Added: The USC Interfraternity Council issued a statement distancing itself and the university from the email:

" ... We will continue to take an active stance against the views in this email," it reads, in part.

Believe it or not, Elliot Hamilton actually got hired after leaving USC. He works at Irving Group in San Diego now. Can you believe that firm hires people like him?

Damn I know a friend in a USC fraternity heard him use that exact phrase several times. I don't think its right but they sure as hell aren't the only ones using it. However Non-consent angers me a lot as a college student and someone who knows some close that was raped I think its one of the lowest crimes someone can commit.

One, Dennis Romero obviously didn't get laid in college. Two, he must not know many women in sororities.

We're supposed to take anything you say seriously when you use the word "retarded" as an insult? Wow. Spread the word to end the word... stop using the R-word in such a negative way. If you want to talk about fraternity members insulting women, perhaps you shouldn't bash people who are mentally handicapped.

Dennis RomeroYour obvious bias against "white males" and the "mentally handicapped" or as you would say "retarded" people is quite ironic in that you have chosen to segregrate yourself and to work on behalf of one nationality through your membership in CCNMA and "Latino Journalists".

I believe you are likely a racist and are no better than a sexist. As a journalist you fail, as you give your bias opinions without any research to back up your "opinions". You dare to condemn all frats claiming they are "white" guys, immature, dorks and can't get laid, but you believe you know what goes on in all of their heads as it relates to women.

The only thing I am sure about is that you appear to dislike "straight white men". I also suppose your being a Bruin had nothing to do with your bias, huh? My guess is that you got into UCLA as a "Chicano studies" major.

Next time think before you rush to judgment. Condemning philanthropic fraternities based on one private email from some idiot is truly disturbing, but so is your claim to be a ehem.."journalist".

Your comment fails as you've responded, rightfully, to a racist post with an equally racist retort.

Wow,You've managed to be sexist and racist, all within the first two sentences. Good Job Dennis Romero!

An article written by someone with an extreme bias opinion and hatred for elite organizations with standards. Not all members of Kappa Sigma (or fraternities in general) act like the letter discusses above, however like every organization with over 100,000 members you get some bad-eggs that pass through. This does not reflect on a persons morals or ethics just because they belong to Kappa Sigma. One bad e-mail, sent by one person, is your excuse, Mr. Dennis Romero, to bash yet another fraternity. At least you're consistent in your attempt to mock established organizations. I believe this is your Spring report on fraternities, I'm sure we will all look forward to your post in fall when you create another issue based on one person. After all you have been doing this, twice a year, since 2009.

I am a greek myself. If some one did something this disgusting, we would oust them IMMEDIATELY. Not wait until some one finally exposed this fuckery publicly. Ksig should not have waited so long nor try to cover their tracks (read around about the actual events, it's amazing the nerve of these specific guys).

also "elite" organizations? are you referring to the greek organizations? seriously? elite in what sense? academics? behavior? not being retarded?

google "Kappa Sigma rape" and you will find that this frat has a bad reputation.

google "Alicia rape" and you will find a lot of articles on that referring to the same. Does this mean that girls named Alicia are more likely to be raped than others? It is ignorance that narrows it down to a group. Men can be trash and sometimes trash gets into elite organizations. Based on the philanthropy, Fisher House, and constant community support by Kappa Sigmas at every chapter proves the men we are. Please make sure that if you are going to post a statement you have some legitimate facts besides "just goggle it".

It'll be so nice when this guy's name is finally released. I want it used in conjunction with this story just enough for it to follow him for the rest of his life.

Since he believes only he is worthy of a name, why didn't he drop his own?
