All fraternities at Swarthmore College -- an independent liberal arts college in Pennsylvania -- have been suspended following days of outrage over leaked documents featuring racist, homophobic, and misogynist language, including references to a "rape attic," the USA Today website reports today (May 1, 2019).
The redacted 116-page documents, first published by student-run news outlets "The Phoenix" and "Voices," appear to document Phi Psi fraternity activities from 2010-2016, including fraternity "meeting minutes."
Minutes from 2013 refer to the school's other fraternity, Delta Upsilon, saying, "Your parties suck, you have both a rape tunnel AND a rape attic (gotta choose one or the other)."
The documents include other jokes about sexual violence, derogatory comments about women, minorities, and the LGBT community; pornography and descriptions of hazing activities.
