I’d also say Khloe, as well. She seemed to genuinely love Lamar and eventually left him due to his inability to get his shit together - I can’t even imagine being in her position.

I 10000% can’t stop laughing at that image...just giggling maniacally, yet quietly, shredding cheese indefinitely.

Ah yes, scenic Pekin...the town that fought long and hard to keep their high school as the “Chinks” until like, the early 90s. Having been to Pekin before, nothing about that fact surprises me.

...does give him a leg up over the rest of us.

Haha I do! I’m actually his admin...don’t want to dox him so I won’t give out his last name, but he just sounds like a dude who gets shit done. “Mavrick - he gets it done.”

I work with a dude whose actual first name is Mavrick (and yes, he was born before Top Gun). It delights me.

Wear a grommet or I’ll start calling you Wallace.

I mean...it’s already a catchy song, and your first single rhymes with your band name? Something’s amiss. Probably sorcery.

I always had mixed feelings about how Milky Chance rhymed with “Stolen Dance.”

You already started by sneaking him into Pitch Perfect 2. We’re onto you!

Same situation, but with a herniated (now-ruptured? Who knows) disc in my low back. No high-impact exercises for me...which is mostly fine as I legitimately enjoy swimming and yoga, but I do miss running outside in the fall.

Me rn, scrolling through the main page.

Absolutely yes. My ex was a Sigma Nu, and their house (at least at the time - they got pretty bro-tastic towards the end of my tenure at school) was awesome. They were small by U of I’s standards, maybe 20 dudes total, who were mostly engineers and just general nerds who were friendly, nice guys. My cousin came to…

I agree! He’s a good person, which is sadly in rather short supply in the frat scene (by and large, I certainly can’t paint them all with the same brush). I’m glad that he did the right thing by her, because that was quite honestly terrifying to have actual proof of the sort of crap they got up to.

Ha! Yeah, it’s certainly pledge season...the spectacle was amusing, when it wasn’t something violent and terrible (so pretty much what you saw during the weekday vs. what you saw at night). But awww, jealous of the on-campus office! This is a beautiful time of year in Chambana...you’re making me all nostalgic!

He just unlocked a new achievement in Dad Jokes...

That’s very true - the shame and concern that the accusations will reach people you know is already high enough from the onset, and the fear that a filmed interview could somehow make its way to the internet just adds another layer to an already-unbearable situation. It’s a very valid concern, though in this…

Tim Marchman mentioned upthread that they received her permission to post this...and I’m glad that they’ve gone about this the right way. Sometimes reading a transcript doesn’t have the same humanizing effect that hearing and seeing a very real person does.

I always wondered that as well. Pike, Skulls, and ATO all had the kind of reputation on our campus where it was common knowledge not to go to their parties if you’re female, regardless of who you’re with (other girls makes it easier to seperate you from the pack, being there with men makes you a challenge/conquest)…

They had the same reputation a state over...nope, no institutional problems here, no sir!
