Fellow Wahoos,
Fellow Wahoos,
The University has confronted an identity crisis of sorts in the past few weeks, wondering how such a horrendous crime as described in Rolling Stone could occur in our community. We now face more questions than answers in an even more unsettling development. Now that Rolling Stone has retracted their support of an article which left the sanctity of the University community in ruins, how do we continue? The report shook our trust in the administration. Now new information shatters our trust in the report. How do we find a solid ground to stand on?
Students responded in force to reports Friday which alleged that some claims in last month’s Rolling Stone article, detailing a gang rape at the University in 2012, may be false.

“Two years ago, the Seven Society raised . . . banners as a call for unity and action at the end of a semester that had seen” similar suffering and turmoil to what we have seen on-Grounds this semester.

Perhaps the hallmark of the first year experience at the University is the shared on-Grounds living experience. Dorm living has its perks — namely, camaraderie and support — but also has its downfalls, like long walks to Bodo’s and shared bathrooms. For many if not most students, our hallmates are the first people we meet at the University and our first friends.
Each of us belong to certain communities, bound together by shared experiences and values. Living in the bubble of the University, we are proud of the University. We honor our traditions and culture. We love Grounds, where we meet amazing peers and create unforgettable memories. We cherish the Good Ol’ Song, which we always sing loud and proud. Likewise, in the bubbles of Greek organizations, clubs and other communities, the pride of the community unites its members, fosters mutual support and cultivates lifelong friendship.
As I read the Rolling Stone article, I grew simultaneously incredulous and nauseous. I was beyond disturbed to hear of such horrifying incidents occurring at this place that I have come to love so dearly. I think that the article will prove a good thing for U.Va., first and foremost because the rape that took place at Phi Psi needs to be exposed. We must open a dialogue about changes that need to happen in order to keep U.Va. the place that it should be.
