Two fraternities at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania have decided to disband after they were suspended over leaked documents that contained racist, misogynistic and homophobic comments including references to a 'rape attic.'
reported that the documents also used racist language to describe one member's sexual interaction with a black woman."We cannot in good conscience be members of an organization with such a painful history. Since the start of our membership, we made it our mission to improve the culture and perception of Phi Psi," the statement read."Unfortunately, the wounds are too deep to repair.
The documents were emailed anonymously to the outlets and also included photos showing members"kissing, groping, and touching women," according to Voices. The leaked documents led to student protests and a sit-in inside and outside the Phi Psi house. In a letter over the weekend, Swarthmore President Valerie Smith said all fraternity activity on campus had been suspended pending an internal investigation to determine whether any current students were involved in the alleged behavior described in the documents.
